UploadVR's Ian Hamilton has an exclusive first look at our forthcoming Walkabout Mini Golf: Pocket Edition for iOS and what it means: "iPhones and Androids meet players in different places than VR headsets, and phones in general are used in different ways. Martell and Mighty Coconut have been working on an approach with Walkabout's Pocket Edition that may bridge VR to flat-screen gamers in ways other titles haven't quite achieved. Martell built a creative VR powerhouse at Mighty Coconut hiring from their fanbase a former Disney imagineer while steadily growing the talented animating, modeling and programming team already on board for their existing gaming and animation projects. Mighty Coconut's creators start with hand-drawn concept art and then move immediately into VR world-building with Gravity Sketch, iterating creatively in VR with one another as they space out holes for gameplay and eyeball sight lines with real-time tweaks. Economically and creatively, it would be as if, instead of a cigarette in his hand pointing to his project leads while surveying the place that would become Disneyland, Walt Disney had a magic wand to place and size structures to his exact specifications. This creative engine set against the backdrop of mini golf helped Mighty Coconut curate an impressive list of partners, some of which have sought out the studio over their shared love of their time in Walkabout itself as well as the fantasy of designing one's own theme park."

“This is not the only reason Walkabout Mini Golf is one of the most popular games, but, face it, it would be enough: It's arguably more fun than the real thing. Once you've mastered all of the built-in courses and their respective hard modes, there are more courses available as DLC, including one based on Jim Henson's Labyrinth.” — Lifewire

After many months of hard work, we're SO close to releasing Walkabout Mini Golf: Pocket Edition for iPhone, inspired by the way our players grow the community by inviting people they know to join in on the fun. We hope this allows them to bring friends, family, and colleagues into their rounds. The iOS version introduces a couple of new modes that we're especially excited about! https://lnkd.in/gWrHDrCd

Finger pistol to this Redditor: “The final point I wanted to touch on, and one of the things that Walkabout has in spades, is polish. Everything feels so hand-crafted, every course tells a story, the fonts are all legible and menus are simple to traverse, and multiplayer play works like magic.”

A reminder to our team that therapy is covered by our medical reimbursement program. “I have two questions. 1) Who designed El Dorado Hard? 2) Why didn't their mother hug them as a child?”
