This game is STILL a visual tour-de-force. Mobile games like Monument Valley are getting tons of press, but the design elements were right here 5 years ago.

As a student in video game development this is a awesome design and one I have shown my class (which one student has sworn is the best game of his life), over and over again..Excellent job and kudos to the developers and design team!!

Amazing! I love all the little details! How cool is the smoke that comes out of the rocket? Excellent game. Be so proud of this!

The art in this game is incredible. However, the controls and the view could be improved. None-the-less, this is a great, great game and a true touch above the rest of it's class.

Just like in normal minigolf, after a while I get frustrated and just start slamming the ball around. On the other hand, this is one of the damn best looking games I've seen in a long time.

You need an average of 8,056 points per hole for the hard badge. It helps to get some easy hole-in-one's to make up for your mistakes.
I'm not familiar with the programming of isometric games but the physics seem to make total sense! For example, when your ball is in the "shrine" (with the moving wall at the bottom of the spiral ramp) you can hit it with max power in time with the gate, and if the line between the ball and your cursor intersects the opening, you can bounce off the shrine wall to grab the last rainbow piece and get a perfect 10,000.
I screwed up royally on the "skull" hole but still got 150,000 total points on my 3rd try. Keep trying and you'll get used to the power meter.

The way the game is set-up makes aiming your shot and seeing the actual layout of many holes needlessly difficult/impossible without wasting shots.

This is the best minigolf game I've ever played!!!! I love how the world has to interact with itself to get you to the next hole. Usually I can only play minigolf games once before I get sick of them, but I can't stop playing this one!! Wish i could give more stars 5/5

The game is beautiful, but loses its appeal a bit when it takes you 10+ strokes to make it in because of the poor angle of the camera.

Ran into an unfortunate situation: on the hole with the raising bridge and the tube. After being let out onto the rooftop, I putted and ended up on the very end of the center divide. Apparently, the ball can't rest against it, and the decline towards it makes sure that the ball can't roll away from it, so I've been watching my ball have a little seizure for the past few minutes. Aside from that, good game.

Something about this game just kept me smiling 'til the end. Not even kidding, I was seriously smiling until I made the last hole, then I got all sad and stuff, 'cause it was over.

Though the name "Wonderputt" may suggest yet another generic mini-golf phone-in its name beguiles that it's actually an ingenius piece of interactive artwork that exemplifies the brilliant creative capacity of the human spirit. Its only determinable flaw lies in the inability to zoom or enhance the size of the game's window.

The design of this game is so wonderful that even if it were bad, which it is not, the visuals would keep you playing. The color scheme is fun and playful, and I love the infographic feel of the score screen. Especially impressive were holes 7 and 8, because even among all the other details of the game, the deconstructed rocket showed that extra eye for detail. VERY nicely made game! Fun to play, challenging, and visually stunning.

First of all aiming is a pain in the ass due to that absolutely unreasonably placed camera. You don't see shit. Also, after ruining the score I had during the first 11 holes at the 12th one I have to say that it is never good to piss players off this early in the game.
I really liked the design and how everything changed after finishing a hole, but the fun factor is due to the things stated above pretty meh. 2/5.
