Golf Peaks

On the few occasions that I delved into the scary world of mobile gaming, it was really hard to find something for myself from under the pile of gachas, grinders, endless runners and such. In theory phone market should have a lot in common with flash and arcade games - low barrier of entry, immediately hook the player and then give them acquirable goals to keep them coming back, but I guess microtransactions ruined everything. The one bastion of ingenuity left appears to be the puzzle genre, and that’s the field of battle studio Afterburn decided to enter with their first fully-fledged title, Golf Peaks.
