What players say

Players describe it as a calming yet challenging hybrid of golf and precision platforming, with a magical setting and serene art. Some find the difficulty steep, spending 10–15 minutes per hole later on, while others praise the variety of obstacles and the satisfaction of trick shots. The game was earlier known as Mage Drops and has expanded to 8 worlds with a full release.
