Friday Flash Fun.: Anybody up for a game of minigolf? Visually inventive and silly and, if I am any judge of online minigolf games, difficult.
136. ouch.

It's supposed to be Friday Flash Fun gspm, not Friday Fucking Frustration. Has that game got some bugs in it? I couldn't hit the ball in certain directions (ie towards the hole) at times. Maybe they're just "features". :-(

i think the perspective was a little wonky at times and the 'table' had contours that made the ball move in directions i did not anticipate (yeah, and that must have been worth a good 25 strokes). plus, i found that the layout involved many elements that might look to be in the background but they were very much in play. a thinking man's minigolf. or something.

I'm with Squealy, although I think it is us that's crap, not the game. I had to go back to the bowling, just to regain some self respect.

Awwww yeah! 84! And I could have done WAY better, considering 2 holes accounted for more than 25% of my score (and almost HALF my back nine)!

Okay, now I'm on fire. 71 is my new best score, including TWO holes-in-one. And I think I'll stop until someone posts a better score.

And it shills for a company. So it is kind of an advert but hey, I am not making my way to the store and what was it they want me to buy? Candy or crackers (er, cheese biscuits) or something? I shot a nice, fat, juicy 100. I had a 99 in my sights and flaked out. Grrr. I don't think I have ever not broken 100 playing minigolf.
