Noodlecake’s Golf Blitz (Free), the multi-player focused spinoff of their fantastic Super Stickman Golf series, has finally arrived in the App Store. You may recall we played this back at GDC last month and enjoyed it so much we awarded it our Game of GDC, so now that it’s out officially it makes this Game of the Week nod feel like a twofer. And you know what? That’s fine. This game is so stupidly fun it deserves it. I don’t want to ramble on too much about what Golf Blitz is, because I feel like at this point most people are aware. It’s a multi-player only, one-hand-friendly, streamlined take on Super Stickman Golf’s brand of 2D golfing.
You play against 3 other players in real-time as everyone vies to be the first to get their ball in the cup on each hole. There are the usual smattering of power-up balls to use, and in general it’s absolute chaos as everyone is taking their turn at the same time. Glorious chaos. One big change in this game compared to previous entries is that the golf balls in the game can collide with each other, which makes for some especially crazy moments when everyone is on the green trying to putt it in. Or when you realize you’re not going to win anyway so you just start griefing the other players by knocking their ball off target with your own.
