User Reviews for Golf On Mars

This game is SO GOOD

I decided to get this game for a couple reasons. 1. The bio was witty and funny 2. It looked like it wouldn’t kill my battery and 3. It looked fun and a good way to pass the time. And boy I was right onThis game is so fun to play, and it’s so relaxing too. When you turn off the Putt counter 👌👌👌, relaxation 100. And i can spend 60 minutes just hitting balls into holes on the red landscape. And for that 60 minutes, it barely takes of like 1%! However to address those toxic and skeptical people, there are some difficult levels. But those are what make the game fun. It’s not all easy levels. Some you actually have to be good. And yes there are some that are not possible. But I have found around 4 of those and I am on level 2921 as of this moment.And yes you have to take 25 strokes but is that really a big deal? It’s not. And yes sometimes it will pop out on a perfect put, but it’s okay, this is t a multiplayer game so why does it matter? Take an extra put to put it in. So in reality, I want to say this game is definitely worth your 3 bucks. 5 starts 👍👌🙌

Great successor to a legendary iOS game

Desert golfing golfing is un-ironically one of the greatest mobile games ever. It’s simplicity is rare for a mobile game & creates a unique and engaging experience. The gameplay is addicting yet barebones, but somehow doesn’t get old. Golf on Mars carries over all of these traits & adds just enough new mechanics to justify the new game. With slightly tweaked physics & optional spin mechanics along with a secret menu, Golf on Mars is much more fleshed out than Desert golfing, by comparison only.This game is endless, in regards to levels & enjoyment. A must buy for mobile gamers.

So infuriating

With most games, the better you get, the easier it becomes. This stupid game throws in holes every once in a while that are physically impossible based on the limitations of the game where the only option is to spend 26 strokes trying to make it before it finally lets you skip that hole. And if you're good enough to make a perfect shot land directly in the hole, don't get excited - it WILL bounce out. The physics of the game are also stacked against you - if the ball is going up a hill away from the hole and reaches a stop, it won't return back down the hill towards the hole when it's in your favor. HOWEVER, if the ball is rolling up a hill TOWARDS the hole and reaches a stop, it will immediately pivot backwards and pick up momentum in the opposite direction to roll as far from the hole as possible. I'm 170 levels in, and this has proven to be true on dozens of holes with the same grade of steepness on hills.

Impossible holes ruin experience

I love this dev and their games. Desert Golfing was a favorite of mine for years. At first Golf On Mars seemed like the ideal sequel, more mechanically sophisticated and just as oddly compelling. But then around my 40th hole I hit my first impossible hole. Had to putt the ball around till 25 strokes and then skip the hole. Then...again, around hole 100, another impossible one. OK...didn't bug me much, kinda amused me. Skip. And then another...and another. What? I've probably come across at least close to a dozen now. What's even more infuriating, some impossible holes are impossible to get OUT of. So it's 50 strokes to get past them. Miserable. It's not that it spoils the fun of trying to keep a low stroke count even. It's that smacking the ball around till you can skip (at 25 strokes), especially having to do this again and again after coming across these impossible holes, feels totally miserable. I don't want to play this game anymore. Desert Golfing always felt great to play. Gold On Mars makes me anxious I'll run into another impossible hole at any time. Why should I play it then? It's enough to kill the fun for me.

Fun game brought down by bugs

I completed and loved desert golf, and was very excited to see a follow up on the App Store. However, the new additions introduce a lot of game breaking issues that makes Golf on Mars inferior to the original and, at times, unplayable.On multiple occasions there are levels that cannot be completed due to terrain that is too high or obstacles in the way. This requires just waiting around for the 25 shot cap to be reached in order to skip the level and move on. The last hole I played before deleting the game altogether saw a rock fall on top of the hole, me burning 25 shots to reset the level, and the game screen filling up with gray with no option or score counter. I really loved Desert Golf, and I really liked the addition of spin and newer terrain to Golf on Mars, but the game is too buggy and too “incomplete” to recommend.

Five Stars, obviously

Just when my muscle memory has been instilled by Desert Golfing, I find myself on Mars starting from scratch because the physics are all wacked out. Please keep ‘em coming. The Moon offers new possibilities with low low gravity making the ball take forever to drop back if you hit it to steep and hard. Craters. Lots and lots of craters. And maybe the occasional asteroid strike.What else? Indoor golfing (side scrolling through an endless house), golfing in traffic (perhaps having to punch through windshields to get from hole to hole). Golfing on planet Jello. I promise to buy and play anything you might dream up. This can’t possibly get old.

A glimpse at the afterlife

This magnificent game proves, with deep profundity, the truth every soul has known deep within our hearts; that there is, without any doubt golf on mars. I have seen my balls soar into the cyan sky, trailing mist through feathery clouds. I have seen my balls descend deep into the planet’s crust emerging moments later shiny and new. I have deftly back-spun my balls into the most deeply satisfying hole in ones. I am one with mars. I am one with golf. I am one with my balls through these eternal red sands.

Almost Perfect

Must downgrade due to holes that are impossible to play. The holes had no openings to advance the ball. Have encountered 2 holes after 250+ like this. Skip is allowed after 25 strokes which is added to score. Desert Golf does not have this bug. Love the concept of both games and appreciate the challenge of making the perfect shot but game algorithm should allow an opening for that perfect shot. Maybe the game makers are proving a (true) point... some things will be impossible on another planet lol. But for a game it simply adds frustration and makes playing less enjoyable. Hope this is solved with update.

More Golfing

This game is an excellent twist on Desert Golfing. 90% of the time it’s basically the perfect podcast gameUnfortunately the number of impossible levels tends to be annoying, especially since you must make 25 shots before being offered the [skip] option. At the very least you should be able to skip from the menu with a 25+ shot penalty. It’s annoying to be stuck on a level that’s clearly not doable, and to have to slowly take shots until you can skip.

Oddly Addictive

Played through the original several times, and this one just as addicting. Played through the first 200 holes, and nothing impossible so far , so I suspect that issue has been fixed. But, yeah, some holes are going to take 10-15 strokes, at least if you’re an inter-planetary duffer like me. Don’t forget to use a second finger to swipe up or down to add top or back spin to your shot.

Description

For centuries, philosophers and mathematicians have gazed up at the night sky and wondered: "Is there Golf On Mars?" The year is 2866. Mars is 35% terraformed, finally enough to allow the playing of the game of.. Golf!

Golf across an infinite* rocky Martian surface. Discover golfing obstacles that make us Earthlings gasp in awe! --- *Infinity is impossible to represent on any non-quantum computer. In actuality there are roughly 25,770,000,000 golf holes in this game. In 2020, NASA will launch the Perseverance rover to search for life and golf on Mars. The journey there will take 200 days, If you were to play one hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds during that journey, you would only be able to complete 0.002% of the game (576000 holes). If you were a paleolithic hunter-gatherer gazing up at the Red planet one night during your traversal of the ice bridge connecting Russia to Alaska at the last glacial maximum 24515 years ago and a time traveler brought an iPhone for you and your tribe to ritually play a hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds, it would take until the present day to complete all the holes. But this is not a realistic simulation. For example, if the ball is 16 pixels wide on your screen then the typical hole will be 1200 pixels away. Scaling this to the size of a real ball (1.68 inches), it's as if the hole is only 3.5 yards away! A realistic 18 hole golf course where the fairways are 3.5 yards away would only require about 1300 square feet of land. However, gravity on Mars is 38% that of Earth's gravity, so you could hit a ball 7 times farther, or roughly 1400 yards for a good player. This 18 hole course then needs to be to 64000 square feet. You could cover the entire surface of Mars with 241 billion of these golf courses. Therefore, you could easily fit all the holes in Golf On Mars on the surface of Mars. Mars is par 3, so aim to finish in under 77 billion strokes.
