Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Having so many stupid low quality games promoted across socials, it is so refreshing to come back to games like these where you dont feel like the game was developed for a quick cash grab! Donut games never disappoints.
YOU GET TO KICK A BALL SAYIN? BUT THAT AINT IT! GET COINS TO GET NEW CHARACTERS AND EACH LEVEL GOT HIDDEN DIAMONDS IN THAT HUH YOU HEARD ME THIS GAME GOT TOO MANY LEVELS.
Thats what its called… Good game tho we love donut games.
We love this game not laggy of course donut games are never laggy very fun hope to see more by Christian.
The game is addicting from the first shot. Great Fun.
This game is great but it would be awesome if there was a stage editor.
We have been so addicted to this game so much. This is one of few soccer games that are the best.
Like most of the Donut Games enjoyable for a long time.
Fun and addictive, with plenty of levels to keep you interested for a long time.
We always look forward to the next Donut Games title but we think this is our favorite! We may be a glutton for punishment but we will not rest until we get 3 stars and a diamond for each hole. The mechanics, ball choice, chip tunes and artwork are all on point. Thanks for the update.
Ill keep it brief. This game is fun and a great time killer, but after a certain number of levels, it becomes less strategy and more trial and error. Ive seen this happen with Spikeys Bounce Around, which is why that game is a bottom tier Donut Games game and isnt great. Also, the balls literally bounce off NOTHING. Im telling you, you can be on target but your ball will literally either 1) bounce off thin air or 2) bounce off a single pixel. Summary: download it but prepare to get frustrated.
We love this game, however, world 5 level twelve is physically impossible to beat. The characters cant kick far enough to reach the blower! Even at the max power you still dont kick far enough.
Another good game by Donut Games. Easy to pick up and play for short periods. As usual, the graphics are retro pixel graphics (always a good thing in our book). A simple little game that keeps you entertained. Kudos, Donut Games.
So this game really fun! It is so much awesome. The only thing that is a little bumpy is it can be hard.
Another great Donut game. Hard to go wrong here! Enough challenge and variety to keep the high score seeker and completionisted happy for a good while.
Yet another slam dunk by donut games.
This game is really fun to play!! Some of the levels are very challenging. But, we are SO tired of games that include the Game Center. The Leaderboards is NOT important to us!! And NO, we dont want to share what Im doing on our phone with our Facebook friends.!!! We just want to enjoy sometime alone by ourselves with our phone and a fun game.!!!!!!!!! We need more games like that. Oh, and please forget multiplayer. We cant play multiplayer games because we dont have any friends. Gosh.
We wish we had replye or slow motion.
Great game to pass some time with. It's easy to pick up and play. It's kinda addicting to try and get all 3 stars in a stage (or maybe even a golden goal!).
We really don't see any reason not to give this 5 stars. Good, fun game. Gameplay and mechanics are solid. Simple premise. Not too difficult. It's free with ads with the option to pay and get rid of them which is totally fine. Not really sure what those 3 stars are thinking. Games great.
We're usually not a fan of golf games but this one is rather fun.. And addictive! We play a level to earn a 3 star goal and then we go back in to find the gold star which makes it like two games in a way.. Or at least two separate challenges. Most golf games we've played in the past have been frustrating to the point of not being fun and usually deleted within 5 minutes. This particular game is challenging enough without being unreasonably difficult and frustrating. Way to go Dev(s) finally a golf game we enjoy! Thank you.
Fun, infinitely creative, with plenty of variety and consistently good gameplay. Nothing much else to say! Keep up the good work.
Very enjoyable whenever you have a few minutes to kill. Glad we found this little gem.
…is a "casual gaming" pioneer. They have made some of the classic micro games. Many of which, anyone can just dive into headfirst and enjoy immediate level ups at the start. This is no exception. Addictive and has a modest pay wall, if you choose to go that way.
Updated: Thanks for listening!! We're so glad you added the option to remove ads and double coins via iap. And a whole new level to boot. Looking forward to playing the new zone. Thanks. Dev, Why so many unskippable 30 second, full screen, ads? Even if we buy coins repeatedly for a buck(s), we'll get an ad the very next level. This is super frustrating, and this is a remarkably fun game. You take the challenging fun to a screeching halt every 5 levels or so. Give us the option to buy coins for a buck, AND, offer an option to turn off ads for 5 bucks. This game is easily worth 5 dollars, please give users the options to kill ads. Thanks.
10/10 good times are being had by all. Thank you footy golf team. If you ever come through Texas look us up.
It's a fun free game you can play every day.
Easy to learn, great game by Donut Games.
We love this game. Great work.
One of the better games from this developer, and it's free.
Love the game but we're trying to beat level 12 of world 5 and it's literally impossible help please.
Pretty much the only game we're playing right now and we're addicted. The only problem is that on the 12 level of world 5 there's no way to actually hit the fan to keep the ball in play. Literally every shot we take goes out of bounds, even if we nudge it forward first.
Great Game! But, we really miss Donut Games old style of games. The more retro arcade type, like in Rat in a Skateboard, or in Monkey Flight. Great game, but we really miss the old style.
If you are annoyed by the ads then turn off wifi. Also it seems like you dont need to watch ads past the first world. We never encountered the ads, because when we went through the first world we didnt have wifi. The game is really fun. Also, there was a character we were saving up for which we thought was a ninja, but it turned out to be a mummy. 0/10. Jk.
This game is amazing but one thing people have to realize to enjoy it is u should go for 3 stars it instantly makes it more challenging frustrating and fun we are currently trying to find out how the golden goal mechanic works it would be nice if u showed us.
We don't see that many ads at all it's really nothing to complain about. Yea it's simple but super fun try it.
This game is so freaking adorable and it's a lot of fun.
Really fun and entertaining game, the difficulty goes up once you complete a level, we really like the mechanics of the game, and the levels are easy and fun to play.
If you don't want all the ads, turn off the wifi or put the device into airplane mode. Also how does one get the golden points anyways.
We're usually a big fan of Donut but this game is incredibly boring. Take the blandest golf game you can think of and add 30 second ads every 3-5 minutes and this is what you're left with. We made it to the second "world" before deleting.
The game is fun but do we really have to see an ad to play a level ? Worthless.
The ads are not a big deal. It's a free game, you can wait 30 seconds people. What is disappointing is the game itself… There's no challenge.
Donut games has become as greedy.
This game was just plain horrible….felt like angry birds but stupider.
This game is just HORRIBLE. We don't know what your plan was but jeez we wouldn't even recommend this game to a 5 year old. It's just horrible. Feels like the creator tried their best to be relatable to the real world but failed horribly to the attempt. Fix the ad count and please a better gameplay. This game is better off being deleted to save many more bad reviews.
The game consists of extremely easy levels, that one must play over and over to get all the objectives before advancing. The game is not difficult whatsoever and requires no skill or effort. On top of that, one must watch full screen 30 second ads to keep playing after the 5 first levels. Horrible game.
