These almost add a bit of strategy to the gameplay, but quickly wear out their welcome. One neat bit is the final course which offers warp points. Because you cannot “lock in” the strength of a hit, you’re forced to waste multiple swings hoping to match up the timing. You’re just suddenly faced with parts of the course disappearing and reappearing. The game ramps from super easy to super challenging over the course of these four courses with no real warning.
Each features nearly the same grassy, idyllic locale with cabins and lakes surrounding the mini golf course. There are only four stages to play with – each connected to a level of difficulty. Suffice it to say Mini Golf Mundo doesn’t hold up to Golf With Your Friends, or any other decent golfing game out there. Unfortunately, this decision came before remembering the game was originally received as part of Bundle Star’s Dollar Mega Bundle. At least the name is fairly accurate as the game only costs $0.99, and is often discounted further.Īfter successful rounds of weird golfing in Golf With Your Friends, I decided to load up another mini golfing game from my Steam library. $1 Ride also grows stale quickly due to the slightly entertaining concept being marred by less than stellar execution. None of this correlates to Steam achievements or leaderboards. After unlocking some in-game achievements, another ship becomes available. Without speed, the game ends, so it’s best to always try to hit the speed boosts. Ever choosing something like the health means you’re giving up on another speed boost. The hardest part is that it takes a lot of skill to ever be able to collect multiple icons at once. Other icons include mud that slows you down, rockets that automatically fire if there are any in your possession, and some health.Īs the ship goes faster and faster, the camera zooms out further and the strips of icons grow wider. This is accomplished by hitting boost icons when passing through a strip of various icons. It’s a 2D vertically scrolling arcade-style game where your goal is to never let the space ship stop moving. $1 Ride, shown on promotional materials incorrectly as 1$ Ride, comes from an era where Greenlight was a pretty safe ticket to publication on Steam – and it shows.
Back then, getting your game on Steam was a real achievement based on Valve deeming your game worth being on the store (yes, somehow Bad Rats was “good enough”, but that’s beside the point). There was once a time before Steam Greenlight and Steam Direct.
