Putt Isles

Cosy 3D mini-golf across tiny floating islands, against a very smug seagull.

That's the only thing to do: pull back, watch the dotted line, and let go. The ball rolls across sun-warmed felt and rattles into the cup, or bounces off a rail into a tide pool. Gulliver, your caddie, will have something to say either way.

• New: Skyblossom Garden, above the clouds at pink dawn. Ring the temple bell, roll through one moon gate and out of another across the koi pond, ride the koi stream and slip through the pagoda's turning wheel.
• A Daily Hole: one new hole every day, the same for everyone, with its own leaderboard. Play it on days in a row and your streak flame burns on the menu.
• Every three holes is a round with three small goals. Goals, stars and streaks earn new balls and trails: cherry blossom, ember, koi, petals, comet.
• Gulliver the seagull plays each hole first. His score is the one to beat; he taunts your bogeys and grudgingly cheers your birdies.
• A hidden pearl on every hole, and secret trick-shot routes to find.
• Felt that thocks, a cup that rattles, slow motion when it's close, confetti for a birdie and fireworks for a hole in one.

45 handmade holes on five islands, plus a Daily Hole and a five-hole Daily Course every day. That's 135 stars to earn: par, the pearl, and no splashes.

No timers, no rush. Relaxed draws the whole putt line and gives three mulligans a hole; Expert keeps it short and adds a sea breeze. A hole takes about half a minute.

Putt Isles is free to play. All 45 holes, both dailies, all three difficulties and every ball, trail and putter are in the free game, earned by playing. There is no paid content and there are no ads.
