Our take on Puttler
Its defining mechanic is building contraptions from seven Puttler shapes to guide a golf ball through each puzzle in as few strokes as possible. The mini-golf objective is approached as a physics construction problem rather than a conventional putting course.
What is Puttler?
Puttler combines mini-golf with physics puzzles across 15 courses and 252 puzzles.
Each challenge asks for a low-stroke route, using seven shapes called Puttlers to build creative or complex contraptions around obstacles such as portals, black holes, sand pits, hatches, moving platforms, and fountains. A campaign-style structure follows a world tour, with progression involving reputation, cash, additional Puttlers, and bag customization. The game includes colorful monochromatic visuals, ambient nature sounds, dialogue, and a backstory. A secret bonus course can be unlocked. The developer estimates more than 30 hours of content for completing the game fully.
