Cozy Arcade game
Garden Putt
Putt softly, score sweetly. Each short garden hole is built for quick retries, satisfying bounces, and one more clever angle.
Garden Putt is a cozy mini-golf trick-shot game across nine sunny garden holes. Drag from the ball to aim, release to putt, bounce off stone borders and mushrooms, avoid ponds and mud, collect clovers and golden flowers, and finish each hole in as few strokes as possible for a higher star score.
Game features
- Nine-hole Course Run with par targets and stroke scoring.
- Drag-to-aim physics with power preview and soft garden bounces.
- Flowerbed walls, stone borders, ponds, mud, sand, ramps, windmills, ducks, bees, hoses, mushrooms, and gnomes.
- Clover and golden flower collectibles for bonus score.
- One to three stars per hole and a local best score.
- Generated release art, play background, and sprite atlas.
