A retromodern and surreal minigolf comedy hosted by the infamous AI bot SUSAN. ...//-- Fling up and go FULL BOOP --\\...
The game relies on simple mouse-based controls to aim and launch the ball, or "boop" as the game calls it. Players must carefully line up each shot, as the levels feature a variety of convoluted obstacles and environmental hazards that require precise aim and timing to navigate successfully.
The game currently offers 3 episodes with over 140 levels, and reviewers praise the level design for its impressive variety. Players will encounter a wide range of challenges, from straightforward putting exercises to more complex, frustrating levels that require repeated attempts to master.
In addition to the more forgiving "Story Mode," the developers plan to introduce a "Speedrun Mode" in the future, encouraging players to hone their skills and optimize their routes through the levels. Reviewers highlight the game's high replay value, noting that the pursuit of the "perfect putt" leads to both "frustration and elation."
A standout feature of the game is its surreal, comedic presentation, led by the eccentric AI host "SUSAN." Players praise SUSAN's quirky dialogue and commentary, which adds an amusing layer of personality to the experience. The game also includes a hidden level editor that allows users to create their own custom levels and cutscenes.
Despite the occasional frustration caused by the challenging level design, players overwhelmingly enjoy the gameplay in "Cheap Golf." With an 89% positive rating on Steam, reviewers describe the experience as "fun," "entertaining," and "addictive," highlighting the satisfying "boop flinging" mechanics and the game's unique style.
