Golf Peaks is a small puzzle game in which we play mini golf. The title was created by a small independent studio Afterburn, located in Lodz. The production debuted first on mobile devices with iOS and on PC. 7Levels from Krakow, responsible for Castle of Heart on Nintendo Switch, helped the team to port the game to other platforms.
Our task in Golf Peaks is to bring a single golf ball into the hole. The action of the game takes place on small two-dimensional maps, separated by a grid of fields, which are presented in isometric projection. At the bottom of the screen there are action tabs, which, when activated, change the position of the ball. Players must plan each subsequent move, taking into account the terrain and the location of the hole. Let's add that some of the blocks that make up the boards have special properties (e.g. they reflect the ball in the chosen direction), which makes it even more difficult to plan everything. The game contains a total of more than eighty levels of increasing difficulty and complexity, which are divided into seven worlds, differing in appearance and challenges.
Golf Peaks is characterized by a minimalist visuals, devoid of unnecessary effects, featuring relaxing BGM and sound effects.

Game Ratings for Golf Peaks Video Game.
Nintendo Times: 6 / 10 by Alex Knight
WORTH CONSIDERING - Golf Peaks blends logic-based puzzle gameplay with golfing aesthetics for the visual presentation. The game is neither a great golfing game, or really a challenging puzzle game as most of the levels are fairly easy and straightforward to solve, and the sport serves primarily as just window dressing. That doesn’t mean to say that the overall experience still isn’t polished and fun. Golf Peaks lands on the Nintendo Switch for a meager $4.99, and for that you’ll get a few hours of relaxed puzzle fun. It’s a decent alternative to hitting the real links on a given Sunday afternoon.

Looking for a change of pace or an escape from the stress of the rat race? Then Golf Peaks can provide you with a brief respite from the daily grind.
Pure Nintendo: 8 / 10 by Kirk Hiner
I enjoyed Golf Peaks from start to finish. It's a fun, light game that's perfectly suited for portable play on the Switch, but is equally engaging in docked mode where it's easy to have some others help solve the puzzles. This is not priced to be a game that'll remain on your Switch for a long time, but you may find you'll keep it around for some quick brain flexing between bigger sessions with your standard, go-to titles.
