Golf Peaks is a puzzle video game developed and published by Afterburn. Players are challenged to solve golf-themed puzzles.
Golf Peaks is an isometric, golf-themed puzzle game. Each map consists of a series of platforms, and players draw cards that determine how they traverse the platforms. The game implements various hazards, which provide new challenges in optimally traversing the platforms, [1] but these hazards do not model physics; they are purely logical puzzles. [2]
Afterburn said Golf Peaks recouped its development costs a week and a half after its release, which they attributed to Poland's low cost of living, being featured in the App Store, and having a short development time. [3] Development took about five months. [2] It was released for iOS on November 12, 2018; Windows and macOS on November 13, 2018; the Nintendo Switch on March 14, 2019; and Xbox One on September 21, 2021. [4] 7Levels helped port it to the Switch. [2]
The Switch version of Golf Peaks received positive reviews on Metacritic. [5] Nintendo Life called it "fun and engaging" but said it is a bit short. [1] The Verge wrote, "The puzzles are well-crafted, and the game is so relaxing to play that I don't want to stop." [6] Pocket Gamer praised its balanced levels and called it "a pretty magnificent experience" held back only by its lack of further content. [7] Digitally Downloaded recommended it for times when one only has periods of time to play games, but they said it has "somewhat limited" gameplay during longer sessions. [8] Although he was disappointed in the lack of in-game hints for the most challenging puzzles, NintendoWorldReport's reviewer said that it is "a nice, serene, and challenging way to wind down". [9]
It was nominated for best mobile game at the 2019 Central & Eastern European Game Awards. [10]
