Mini-putt 3 Overview
Mini-putt 3 was one of those straightforward Flash games you could find on a casual gaming site in the mid-2000s. It didn't try to be anything more than a simple, accessible golf game you could play with friends on the same computer. The presentation was clean and functional, with bright colors and clear visuals that loaded quickly in a browser window.
You control a small golf ball, using your mouse to aim and set the power of your putt. The main objective is to sink the ball in as few strokes as possible across a series of increasingly tricky courses. You adjust your shot by dragging the mouse backward from the ball to pull back, then releasing to swing. The game often includes obstacles like moving barriers, tunnels, and slopes that change the ball's path. The pacing is relaxed, letting you take your time to line up each shot, but the later courses introduce a real challenge with their layouts. It feels like a quiet, focused puzzle where each hole is a small test of patience and geometry.
