About Island Putt
Island Putt is a calm, physics-based mini golf game set on little islands floating above a pastel sea. Each hole is hand-built with bumpers, angled banks, slopes, sand traps and water gaps, and the later courses add spinning bars and sliding blocks. Pull back to aim, let go to putt and try to sink every hole in as few strokes as you can.
How to play
- Press anywhere on the course and drag back. The dotted arrow shows where the ball will go; a longer pull means a harder putt.
- Let go to putt. On a keyboard, use Left/Right to aim, Up/Down to set power and Space to putt.
- Bounce off the white bumpers, ride the arrow slopes and steer clear of sand, which slows the ball right down.
- If the ball rolls into the water it comes back to where you putted from, with one penalty stroke.
- Roll the ball gently over the cup to sink it. A ball that is too fast skips over the rim.
Controls
- Keyboard: Left/Right aim · Up/Down power · Space putt
- Touch: Drag back from anywhere, release to putt
- Pause: P or Esc, or the pause button.
Five levels
| Level | Goal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Finish 3 holes ≤ par +3 — Three short, straight holes to learn the putt. You can go up to three strokes over par in total. |
| 2 | Finish 3 holes ≤ par +2 — A dogleg with an angled bank, a crater that funnels balls into the cup and a cup ringed with sand. |
| 3 | Finish 3 holes ≤ par +1 — Longer par-4 holes with blocks to zigzag around, open edges and a chain of islands linked by bridges. |
| 4 | Finish 3 holes at par — Your first moving obstacles: a spinning bar, a sliding block on a narrow bridge and a park of round bumpers. |
| 5 | Finish 3 holes under par — Beat par over three tricky holes with sliding gates and twin spinners. Time your putts carefully. |
Arcade mode
Endless holes on a stroke budget. You start with 3 spare strokes. Holes under par earn strokes back, holes over par spend them, and the run ends when you run out. Holes get trickier, flip around and gain extra moving obstacles as you go. Each hole scores 100 points plus 50 for every stroke under par.
Tips
- You can start a drag anywhere on the screen, so keep your finger away from the ball to see the aim arrow clearly.
- A medium putt that dies near the cup is safer than a hard one. Fast balls skip over the rim.
- Use the angled banks: aim at the bumper and let the bounce carry the ball around corners.
- With spinning bars, wait until the bar has just passed the path you want, then putt firmly.
Questions
What happens if my ball falls in the water?
It comes back to the spot you putted from and one penalty stroke is added to that hole.
How does the stroke budget work in Arcade mode?
You begin with 3 spare strokes. Finishing a hole under par adds the strokes you saved, finishing over par spends them, and the run ends if the budget would drop below zero.
Can I play with a keyboard?
Yes. Left and Right arrows aim, Up and Down change the power, and Space putts. Press P or Esc to pause.
