MOBILE
PUTTLE on iPhone and Android
PUTTLE is thumb-first 3D mini golf for iPhone and Android. Open Safari or Chrome, drag back with a finger, and optionally Add to Home Screen. There is no App Store or Google Play listing.
Can you play PUTTLE on a phone?
Yes. PUTTLE plays in the phone's own browser — Safari on iPhone and iPad, Chrome on Android — with no app to install. One thumb does the slingshot: drag back anywhere on the screen — you do not have to hit the ball — and release. A round is five holes and a few minutes: a café line, a commute, a couch.
Touch controls
PUTTLE's touch controls are one finger to putt and two to look around:
- One finger — drag back and release to putt. Let go near where you started to cancel.
- Two fingers — look around the hole. Pinch to zoom.
- Map button (🗺) — the whole hole from above.
- Camera button (📷) — photo mode: time freezes, you orbit freely, and you snap a postcard.
The HUD clears the notch and status bar. After a round, Share result hands your result and its link to the phone's own share sheet — Messages, WhatsApp, a group chat — 🖼 Picture card makes a scorecard image for a story, and 🎬 Clip records your best hole as a vertical video.
Phones and graphics
PUTTLE draws real 3D with WebGL 2, which current iPhones and Android phones support. It sizes its resolution to keep frames smooth, and drops to a lighter graphics tier by itself if a phone struggles. You can also pick Low, Medium, or High in the menu. A phone without WebGL 2 is offered PUTTLE Classic instead, the lighter pixel-art original, with the same streak.
If you switch apps mid-round, the sound pauses and the daily is checkpointed, so coming back picks up where you were.
Add to Home Screen
Want a home-screen icon? That is a progressive web app install, still the website:
- iPhone / iPad — Safari Share sheet → Add to Home Screen.
- Android — Chrome menu → Install app or Add to Home Screen.
Installing does not sign you in. Streaks stay in that browser profile. Uninstall like any other PWA. Clearing site data deletes streaks on that handset.
On an iPhone or iPad the daily reminder needs the Home Screen icon: a Safari tab can't show notifications. Without the icon, the results card offers a daily calendar event instead.
