What Makes Rocket Golf Stand Out
Rocket Golf gives golfing a new twist with its 2D gameplay and clean 3D graphics. Challenge yourself to 72 unique holes over four courses. Rocket Golf provides accurate game physics while maintaining an arcade feel. Up to four players can enjoy all of Rocket Golf's features for countless hours, including online and local best rounds, water hazards, sand traps, variable wind, and much more.
Rocket Golf iPhone requires any iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPod Touch with OS version 3.2+. iPad currently supported (pixel doubling), high resolution version to follow
"This golf game takes a side-scroller type view of the golf course, and actually provides some real fun gameplay. The first edition of this game includes 2 golf courses (36 holes) and some very accurate physics. Try and navigate your ball through each course, while avoiding the traditional water hazards, bunkers and more… and while traditional hazards abound, some of the holes are, shall we say… a little less traditional!? You’ll have to check it out for yourself for more!" -intomobile.com
Make sure to check out Nuclear Nova's golf game simulator, GL Golf and GL Golf Lite. GL Golf is a 3D golfing game for the casual gamer. With a realistic physics system and great simple graphics, you and up to four players can golf twenty+ unique courses for countless hours.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game hasnt gotten new courses in over 8 years of it existing, and the mobile version still doesnt have the soundtrack like in GL Golf. Cool concept, but it feels very empty.
Rocket Golf is a unique 2D style golf game that has simple touch commands. The game flows well from hole to hole and holds interest throughout. The arrow stretch feature is fun and easy to use. All in all great game.
Edit: Swipe minimal to scroll, playing more realizes that is deserves five stars not four. Great game.
Well worth the money, this game is a great addition to the first of nova's first golf app "gl golf." You have to experience it for yourself, its a great new spin on the world of golf for enthusiasts like ourselves.
We didn't know what to expect, but this game is exactly what we were looking for. We enjoy the straight play style of GL Golf, but Rocket Golf offers a nice freelance style of play. It's great to be able to relax and just have fun with this game. We can get creative, or just get silly with levels that encourage and accommodate out-of-the-box maneuvers. IPhone apps are becoming plentiful these days, and it can be hard to find solid made applications. Nuclear Nova is a name we have come to trust to release quality and fun software. 5 Stars easy.
We have GL golf and we think it's fantastic. This game is awesome as well. Fast, simple, fun. Everything you look for in an iPhone game.
Rocket golf is a relatively fast paced puzzle game. The gameplay is simple and perfect for the touch interface yet provides a good puzzle solving challenge. Definitely the most unique golf game we've seen yet and well worth the $0.99.
This game is awesome! Highly recomended. Nuclear Nova Software delivers another great game.
Pretty nifty little game, not bad for the price.
Rocket Golf really shines as a fun and quick golf game. Its unique side-view adds a twist to standard golf, while the interesting levels will force you to be creative with your shots. There are always opportunities to find your own shortcuts to the hole, which makes this game satisfying for serious and casual players. Can't beat the price, either.
We really enjoy this game. It is a very different spin on golf and is perfect for the iPhone/Touch platform. Rocket Golf is what would happen if golf and a puzzle game had one too many cocktails and golf was like, "Hey puzzle game, what are you doing later?" and the puzzle game said, "Ohhhh, we don't know. Maybe just going home because you're not really that interesting by yourself." To which golf replied, "That's cool, we mean, we can appreciate your opinion and all and sort of feel the same way about you, but we'd be really honored if we could give you a ride" and the puzzle game agreed. And when they got in the car, a bunch of good jams came on the radio and they both discussed the other's positive qualities and how awesome it would be if they could find a common bond. This game is what that part of the conversation would be about. Shine on, Nuclear Nova.
Another fun app from Nuclear Nova .. Keep up the good work.
We're not sure how to classify this game, we don't think it fits mini golf and definitely doesn't fit a real golf game. We guess it doesn't really matter because its fun! We only hope there are more courses though, because after playing the same 18 holes over and over again one starts to memorize the tricks required to hole each cup in the least amount of shots physically possible. Add the mulligans into the equation and we're sure that the online best rounds list are quickly going to run into an un-penetrable floor that can't be broken. Our favorite part of the game is hitting those perfect shots on the first try, then we can save our mulligans for later when we need them.
