Putt & Putter is miniature golf with a twist. Rather than only going for the lowest score players must manage the number of balls they begin the game with. Extra balls can be earned by getting under par on a hole, while being over par causes balls to be lost. No miniature golf buildings are featured in the game, instead there are bumpers, rocks, and bars. Hitting each one will force the ball to do different things. A bumper pushes the ball very fast, a rock will slow the ball down, and a bar allows shots to be angled.
