WALKABOUT MINI GOLF: POCKET EDITION

NEW STANDARD GAMEPLAY

Our team is thrilled to introduce Pocket Edition players to a whole new way of golfing with our latest Standard Mode gameplay.

Standard Mode is our new vertical-only, non-gyro mode that relies purely on swipe-and-tap and pinch/pull motion for players to navigate and play. This mode sets players into a locked camera position behind the ball and allows for a smooth, casual gameplay experience.

Whether you're commuting on a bumpy bus or curled up into the perfect couch potato, Standard Mode is ideal for the player who needs some no-fuss, on-the-go, quick catharsis mini golf in their life. ⛳

Please note:

  • Players are automatically set to Standard mode and the Pocket Edition tutorial will default to Standard gameplay. Players can switch between Standard Mode and Immersive Mode (our gyroscopic mode) while on-course, in vertical orientation. Tap on the score display on the bottom of the screen to hail a radial menu of settings; the "Look Mode" button controls between Standard and Immersive Mode.

    • For Standard Mode, the icon display is a finger tap.

    • For Immersive Mode, the icon display is an eye.

  • Standard Mode gameplay can only utilize our Touch-to-Putt gameplay style. To utilize our Swing-to-Putt gyroscopic gameplay, you will need to have your device in landscape orientation and enable Immersive Mode.

  • Players can toggle the tutorial on/off by tapping on the graduation cap toggle on the scorecard.

POCKET EDITION FEATURES

Three ways to play: Touch-to-Putt, Swing-to-Putt, Standard Play

  • Touch-to-Putt is our vertical/portrait mode playstyle, where players will drag and release to putt the ball. A green power bar will show the direction and strength of the putt, which is visible for all players in a room.

  • Swing-to-Putt is our horizontal/landscape mode playstyle, where players physically move their phone in space to putt the ball. Players will see yellow guidelines on the green; these guidelines will not show for other players, but the player putter is visible to all players in a room.

  • Note: Our three putting styles have different strength adjustments so users can customize the power of each putting style. To change your putting strength, navigate to your on-course Settings, then the 'Putter' tab.

  • Standard Mode is our new vertical-only, non-gyro mode that relies purely on swipe-and-tap and pinch/pull motion for players to navigate and play. This mode sets players into a locked camera position behind the ball and allows for a smooth, casual gameplay experience.

Managed Downloads

Players can customize the amount of storage Pocket Edition takes on-device by managing which courses you want installed. Note: Progress, Records, Lost Balls, and other save data will be preserved between uninstalls/reinstalls of courses.

  • To install/uninstall a course ⬇️:

    • Horizontal: See the 'Manage Downloads' button in the lower right-hand corner menu.

    • Vertical: Scroll to the very bottom of the Shack Course Selection menu, see the 'Manage Downloads' button in the center of the bottom menu.

    • There will be 'Delete All' and 'Download All' buttons to mass select the catalogue. Users will be able to see the percentage of courses stored and MB used.

Note: Courses will automatically download if you do not have them installed upon course launch.

Release and Roadmap

Pocket Edition is designed to be a companion to our VR game, supporting and growing alongside the base game without diverting focus from it's development. This means certain features and functionality released on VR won't always be available for mobile players.

Our team has specific planned developments to accommodate for mobile players in the larger cross-play Walkabout experience, and to make the individual Pocket Edition experience feel smoother. We are also intentionally taking time to evaluate early user feedback, and to leverage that to guide our mobile development so that we can stay true to what players want.

When will you support Android? Our small team is still perfecting development on iOS, and we want to ensure we've made a stable, polished project for one mobile platform before considering expanding to others.

Please note the below restrictions of Pocket Edition from VR:

  • Quick Match is not available for mobile, meaning Pocket Edition is Private Room only.

  • Pocket Edition players do not appear at the Welcome Island Shack in VR cross-play rounds.

  • Pocket Edition does not currently support foxhunts due to limitations around navigation. Our team is still exploring alternative putter collection methods for users and is listening closely to input during this time.

  • Pocket Edition navigation utilizes a series of swipes, taps, and gyro, and does not include the flying functionality that VR does. Mobile has a specific 'Look Around' functionality on-course (accessible through a toggle on the horizontal scorecard) that allows users an uninterrupted view of the course from God Mode.

  • Scorecards in VR/Pocket rooms have device icons next to the player name that signifies which platform (mobile or VR) the user is playing on.

FAQs + SUPPORT

    • Players can toggle our 'Grip-to-Putt' setting on/off for Swing Mode, which allows players to better practice swing and line up their shots before activating the putter head. The 'Grip' is a circle where users will press and hold their thumb as the activating grip.

    • Can't swap putting styles? Make sure you have your Portrait Orientation Lock toggled OFF in your device settings. This may also be attributed to our Tutorial, which will gate users to 1 playstyle type for a time, to properly introduce both playstyles. We recommend playing through the tutorial completely and behavior should resume to normal, where users can dynamically change orientations. Users can toggle the Tutorial on/off by checking the toggle box next to the graduation cap icon on the scorecard.

    • Pocket Edition will cost $4.99 for the base game and $1.99 for DLC courses.

    • Note: Avatar Packs will cost $1.99 on both VR and Pocket Edition.

  • Our Guest Pass ability works between VR cross-play and iOS, which allows Private Room players to share owned courses. Cross-Buy is not supported nor allowed on the iOS platform, and cross-progress is not supported.

    • Device Support: Pocket Edition launched on iOS 17 and supports devices with an A12 Bionic or greater, see Apple's support documentation for a list of compatible iPhone and compatible iPad devices.
      Note: Devices listed may not be fully optimized for playing Pocket Edition due to: device memory/RAM capacity, user wear-and-tear, etc.; support is variable and may be updated or changed by Apple. Mighty Coconut is not held responsible for supporting all hardware instances listed above.

    • When will you support Android? Our small team is still perfecting development on iOS, and we want to ensure we've made a stable, polished project for one mobile platform before considering expanding to others.

    • Users can find their general settings through the 1) Welcome Island Shack and 2) on-course.

      • 1) Welcome Island: Navigate to a Single-Player room, tap the three stacked lines icon on the righthand side, and then tap the 'Settings' button.

      • 2) On-Course: Tap on your course information display, then tap the 'Settings' gear icon.

    • Language Settings: Users can find Language options on the main menu as a yellow speech bubble in the lower lefthand corner of the screen.

  • Users will tap on their course information display, navigate to the 'Scorecard' pencil/sheet icon, then navigate to the 'Settings' gear icon. Tap the 'Options' tab. The alphanumeric string listed at the bottom of the panel is your Player ID.

  • Your profile name is pulled from the user's inputted Game Center nickname. To change your Game Center profile name, you will need to go to your device's settings, scroll to Game Center, and tap. Then you will see a 'Nickname' field, where you can make edits. This will update your in-game display name.

  • Some lost ball locations have had to be adjusted, in order to accommodate for differences in navigation, player height, visibility, and related; the positions are as close as possible to the core VR position to ensure that player guides maintain accuracy while allowing Pocket Edition players the ability to interact with any and all of our course lost balls.
