Nice Shot! The Gun Golfing Game

Games cheap, good, replayable, and fun. I really like the idea and the concept actually plays out in a strategic way. Knowing how to position yourself on maps is the keys to getting good accurate shots.

If the thought of shooting golf balls into a hole, FPS-style sounds interesting, this is the game for you. Nothing else needs to be said.

Fun idea, not a fan of the execution. The controls are odd; you can't scroll through your guns, you have to either use the number keys or pause the game to bring up a menu. If you're used to first person shooters, you expect spacebar to jump instead of pause. You can't go into water or clip into walls, so if the ball is too close to something like that, you have to shoot it at a wall to bounce it back out. It's difficult to predict where the ball will go based on where you aim and which gun you use, there is no predictive arrow and seemingly no way to curve shots. The courses themselves look nice and are well-designed, but there are no elevation cues, it's difficult to tell how high or low different parts of the course are. Part of the appeal of the game is being able to shoot at balls while they're still moving, but in practice aiming down the sights slows you down so much you end up taking more shots than if you'd just waited for it to completely stop. As far as I can tell, there's only one unlockable gun, and the requirements for it are pretty steep considering how difficult the game is to play. On sale, to play with friends? Maybe! Full price? Probably not. It has an endearing core concept, but could use some quality-of-life improvements.
