Making your first moves in Mini Golf

A walkthrough of the rules

Using the playing area
Touch aim, angle/power sliders and Putt. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Work through an example
A soft final putt can sink where a fast crossing would not. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Notice this detail
The hole accepts only a sufficiently slow ball. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
