Read full description

Golf Zero is a crazy mix of golf and platforming. Jump, bounce and slide your way around the levels trying everything you can to get the ball in the hole. There is nothing quite like a nice round of Golf. The freshly cut grass, the birds singing, the razor sharp saw blades, the mid-air bullet time shot as you dodge a bone crushing boulder. Work your way through the 40 normal levels or compete against the rest of the world in the speed run levels.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smashy City at 4.7 against Golf Zero's 4.4. Smashy City also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 303) and review sentiment (85% vs 69%). Golf Zero's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
