Mini golf... with a twist! Drag back from the ball to aim, release to shoot. Use the spin slider to curve your roll left or right. Hug a wall. Slip past a windmill. Find the line everyone else missed. TWO COURSES. TWENTY-SEVEN HAND-DESIGNED HOLES: The OG — the original eighteen, the warm-up that teaches the game. Easy to play, nearly impossible to master. Spin Cycle — nine more custom levels, where the spin slider stops being optional if you want to really ace them all. I put a lot more effort into the design for Spin Cycle, and if you like that course just wait to see what's coming next as I get better at editing these levels. Sand bunkers. Water hazards. Rotating windmills. Ramp tunnels. Bumpers that nudge, blades that turn, ramps that fling. THREE MODES. Competitive Play. Eighteen holes in order. The mode that counts: stars, coins, aces, personal bests all land here. Use a skip and the round goes Unranked. Mulligans rewind a stroke when you need one. Practice. Or, as I like to call it: Zen mode. No stress, no pressure. Use it to practice those holes that you just can't get better at or use it to relax and have fun. The Daily. Three random holes a day with a loaner ball + putter shared by every player on the planet. Build a streak. Share your score. A LOCKER FULL OF GEAR. Ten new balls + ten new putters. Each piece has a four-stat tradeoff: mass, bounce, spin, aim. Sink holes to earn coins. The elite gear unlocks as your star total climbs and your game improves. Magnet upgrades on two ladders — Range and Strength, three tiers each, bought independently. Mulligan slots per nine — keep your score alive on an errant shot. DAY EDITION + NIGHT EDITION. PLAYS OFFLINE. Your scores stay on your device. Game Center leaderboards if you want them; ignore them if you don't. Day or night, on your couch or in line for coffee. I truly hope you all enjoy this game as much as I do. I had a blast making Pocket Course and I hope it shows in the gameplay. -James

Verdict

Tiny Terraces's advantage is ratings volume (180 vs 9) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
