ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Petanque 2012 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Golf Game 3D has 1.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Mini Golf Game 3D's written reviews are positive against 58% of Petanque 2012's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mini Golf Game 3D ships an update every 17 months, Petanque 2012 every 29 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
