Golfin has been rebuilt from the ground up. New engine, fully 3D golfers, new controls, a new economy — and this Preview is only the beginning. New holes, golfers and modes will keep arriving with every update. Play a real course hole by hole, with terrain, greens and skylines built from real survey data. Every slope, bunker and tree line is where it is on the actual course. ■ Real course, real physics – Ball flight, bounce and roll are simulated, not scripted. Wind, lie, club and your golfer's stats all change the shot. ■ Your golfer, your game – Pick from a roster of 3D golfers, each with Strength, Club Control, Recovery and Stamina. Level them up and put the points where your game needs them. ■ Swing your way – Four control schemes: Flick, Pendulum, Tap Timing and Free Swing. Switch any time, even mid-round. ■ Read the course – An overhead map with range fan and aim line for every shot, and a putting line that shows the break. ■ Missions and daily challenges – Dozens of hand-built missions, plus a new daily mission and streaks. ■ Clubs, balls and a weekly lineup – Build your bag from a growing catalog. The store and the gacha banner rotate every week. ■ Tournaments and rankings – Enter tournaments with live leaderboards and climb the daily, weekly and monthly rankings. ■ Reward Points – Earn RP as you play and spend it on gear, boosts and entries. Your RP is shared with the partner app. ■ Lend and borrow – Lend a golfer or a club to a friend for a few days and share the rewards. ■ Available in English and Japanese. A network connection is required to play. A stable, high-speed connection is recommended.

Free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just pure gameplay. Draw flight paths, land aircraft, and keep the terminal alive in a fast-paced air traffic control arcade game. The terminal is open.

One more landing can beat your high score. Simple to learn. Difficult to master. NEW: Daily Dispatch Take on one official challenge every day.
