PixelDisc is a disc golf game with a retro pixel art style. Read the course from above, throw your way down the fairway, then step up to the basket and sink the putt — one hole at a time. THE THROW Power, direction, angle, release — four taps, and every one of them is yours to get wrong. Aim along a compass arc that narrows as your accuracy improves, on a disc that really tilts. Give it more anhyzer than the disc, your power or the wind can carry and it turns over, loses its lift and drops out of the sky. Ease off the power and you can still save it. The preview line shows you exactly where it goes. The two hands are not the same throw. The backhand is longer; the forehand holds a far deeper anhyzer without falling out of the air, and bites harder when it lands. THE PUTT On the green the view drops to eye level, behind your disc. Drag down for power and sideways to aim, put the cross on the chains and let go. Wind, your putter and the trees all have their say. CAREER MODE Build your player from the ground up. Earn PixelCoins on the course and invest them in private lessons: power and touch for each hand, plus putting and scramble. Buy discs and fill your bag. Every improvement is permanent and synced to your Game Center account — so your progress is safe even if you switch phones or reinstall. Discs are real property here. Throw one into water or out of bounds and it can be gone for good — and another player may find it on their round. They decide: keep it, give it back, or hold it to ransom for a few coins. PLAY A BOT In Career and Quick Play a bot can ask to join your round: match play, hole by hole, for fun or for coins. It plays with your skills and bag and keeps the real order of play — furthest from the basket throws next. Rather play alone? Switch it off. A NEW COURSE EVERY DAY Three daily modes, identical for every player, played on skills generated for the day — so the day is a level field. DAILY CHALLENGE — three holes. Three attempts, your best one counts. CLOSEST TO PIN — two shots from the tee, one backhand and one forehand. Lowest combined distance to the pin wins. One attempt. SURVIVAL — an endless course that scrolls up and never stops. Land out of bounds, land in water, or let the wave catch you, and the run is over. Score is how far you got, and you pass where everyone else's run ended. One attempt. PixelBot plays the Daily Challenge and Closest to Pin first every day. Beat it. WEEKLY TOURNAMENT Full courses open every week for all players at once, with a pool of skill points you spend before you tee off. Each hand is capped, so you build a cannon or a scalpel — never both. One attempt per course, and progress saves between sessions so you can finish later. CUSTOM CHALLENGE Build a challenge: 3, 6 or 9 holes, random or hand-picked, with your own career gear or with skills and discs you fix for everyone. For three days after you finish your round, any player can attempt the exact same holes and wind to beat your score. Free to enter, free to lose. QUICK PLAY A round on your own terms, offline. 3, 6 or 9 holes, random or hand-picked, no daily limit, and your discs are never at risk. Stop any time and pick it up later. LEADERBOARDS Every career course keeps its own all-time record — set one and hold it until someone beats it. The daily boards reset each morning, and Survival and Closest to Pin each keep a top list: most metres survived in the last 28 days, and your seven best rounds of the last 28 days averaged. Win a weekly placing and you carry it beside your name on the daily board all week. RETRO FEEL Crisp pixel fonts, a dark color palette, and a view that keeps the focus on the shot. No fluff, no ads, no paywalls — just disc golf. Works offline. Progress syncs automatically via Game Center when you're connected.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PixelDisc at none against Golf Piko's 1. PixelDisc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Golf Piko's advantage is ratings volume (914 vs 2) and review sentiment (65% vs 54%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PixelDisc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Piko has 914 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Golf Piko's written reviews are positive against 54% of PixelDisc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Golf Piko ships an update every 5 days, PixelDisc daily. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
