Mini Golf Game Online: how to play
Mini Golf is a top-down putting game. Mogi tees off through the neon night: five levels of three hand-made holes, each with its own par. Pull back to aim, let go to putt, bank the ball off the walls and roll it gently into the cup. Each level adds one new thing on the course.
How to play
- Drag back from anywhere on the course and let go to putt. The ball goes the opposite way to your drag, and the further you pull, the harder you hit.
- With a keyboard, press ← and → to aim (↑ and ↓ turn the aim slowly), then hold Space: the power swings up and down, and letting go putts. Esc cancels.
- The dotted line shows where you are aiming. On Level 1 it also shows the first bounce off a wall; it gets shorter on every level.
- Roll the ball in gently: a ball that is moving too fast skips over the cup.
- Each hole has a par. You have par + 2 strokes: if the ball isn't in by then, Mogi picks it up and you lose one of your three hearts.
- Points per hole: hole in one 500, eagle 400, birdie 300, par 200, bogey 120, double bogey 60, plus a bonus for each level cleared. Three stars per level: clear it, clear it with no hearts lost, and finish the level at par or better.
The five levels
- Neon City: straight putts and bank shots off the walls
- Rooftops: sliding doors and a windmill: time your putt
- Sewer: slime pools: the ball goes back to where you hit it, +1 stroke
- Robot Factory: belts and ramps push the ball
- Glitch Zone: warp pads, in the blue and out the pink, plus everything before
Clear the Glitch Zone and the course loops: lap 2 plays every hole upside down, with a shorter aim line, a cup that needs a gentler putt and double points. You have three hearts for the whole run, and the game is
the same for everyone each day, so you can compare scores. Press M to turn the sound off or on.
Tips
- Aim for the wall, not the flag: on bank shots the ball bounces off at the same angle it came in.
- A softer putt that stops near the cup beats a hard one that skips over it.
- Watch the doors and the windmill for a moment before you putt: they always move the same way.
- On belts, aim a little upstream: the ball drifts the way the arrows point.
Questions
Can I play Mini Golf on my phone?
Yes. Drag back on the screen and let go to putt. On an upright phone the course turns to fill the tall screen. It works on phones, tablets and computers with no download.
Why did my ball roll over the hole?
It was moving too fast. The cup only catches a ball that is rolling gently, so a hard putt skips over the edge. Hit it softer as you get close.
What happens if I take too many strokes?
You have par + 2 strokes on each hole. If the ball isn't in by then, Mogi picks it up, you lose a heart and move on to the next hole. Three hearts per run.
Is it free?
Yes. Mini Golf is free in your browser, with no sign-up.
