Putt Panic! turns mini-golf into a fast, physics-packed puzzle. Read the bounce, slide the course into shape, and sink it before the hazards do you in. A 108-HOLE CAMPAIGN Six themed cups — Rookie Cup, Backyard Open, Meadow Masters, Neon Classic, Circuit Championship, and the Windmill Invitational — each a full 18-hole set that ramps from gentle, readable lanes to boss-length gauntlets. SLIDE-TO-SOLVE COURSES Every hole is also a puzzle. Slide and rearrange the course tiles to carve your own line to the cup, then flip to Play and take your shot. COURSES THAT FIGHT BACK Bank off bumpers, fire through cannons, warp between portals, ride boosters and spinning turntables, thread water and sand — and fight crosswinds, magnets, ice, and crumbling floors. BEAT THE RIVALS Face a roster of AI challengers — Steady Sam, Chaos Max, Ace Riley, Lucky June and more — each with their own style and nerve. DAILY CHALLENGE A fresh course every single day — some days calm, some days howling. One run at the leaderboard. SPEED GOLF Re-run cups you've already conquered — against the clock. Your best run races beside you as a ghost while per-hole splits tick green and red. Beat yourself, then do it again. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Take on a friend in online multiplayer rooms, or go one-on-one against the CPU. EARN YOUR STARS Chase Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals on every hole, unlock mastery Badges, and climb the 3-, 9-, and 18-hole leaderboards — then take your 18-hole best to Game Center. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock flashy ball skins, glowing trails, custom club colors, and on-screen emoji reactions. Tight one-thumb controls, gorgeous 3D courses, and always one more hole. Grab your putter — and try not to panic.
