Strange game the best way to win is not to play Movie. War games
As with all these types of Game Apps it is undoubtedly rigged in favour of the developer. As long as you can accept that you will never beat the system then it can be a lot of fun. If you are happy to just play the game without for ever purchasing to try to escalate further then you can get pretty far on the daily freebies and win prizes,
Just don't expect to get to maximum levels though, without spending. Even then you will find yourself up against superior clubs, strange wind settings when it's your turn and your own clubs and balls not matching your opponent even though they may have the same.
More recently I played what was obviously someone on the developers team/payroll who was emoji-ing me before the ball had even landed and again when it became a draw and they got an impossible hole in one on the next game, followed again by an "Wow" emoji before the ball even hit the hole.
This is still a fun game though, just don't expect to achieve great heights with it. At the end of the day, it's free and only you can commit to buying stuff.
I've been playing this game for a year now and I can say that there are enough non-paying players to keep it fair (more fun than not)... it's a bit frustrating having to keep going through all the "offers" and useless rewards just to maintain the basic edge (I have spent $0). Occasionally I get an opponent who spends money on this game, and they're usually either careless, or just passing through (beats the crap out of me..). Anyway it's fun enough to keep playing.
So, game is very addictive, stages take too long, meaning you have to play the same few holes way too many times! 99% of chests are worthless. If your new to game, you get 2 clubs of each, 2 drivers, 2 woods, etc. Choose one that has top/back spin, and one with side spin, don't worry too much about distance. You don't get to choose when you can upgrade your clubs, just luck of draw when opening chests. Don't waste coins upgrading clubs you don't use. You must learn to use and trust the wind rings, ground debuff box, once learned you will hole out Much more often. I admit i have spent some money trying to upgrade, but again, you Don't get to choose what you get. I just made it to stage 13 and as of 1st hole it sux, really dark and can't see where hole goes, we'll see! You can go pretty far with standard clubs and no money, but you must learn to use wind rings! Would be better if you could miss a putt, and if there were penalties for water or out of bounds.
Fun game just wish you got more for your money. You gotta be ballin to keep up with some of the elite players.
I like it. I would impose a penalty stroke for OB though.
Love the game. I think it needs a driving range to practice
I like it so far, but don't seem to get access to all of the perks
I really enjoy this game. My only concern would be with your tournament. If a player has 3 attempts they shouldn't be charged coins without being able to play.
