Overview
Description

In Ribbit King you control Scooter, a young hero tasked by his planet’s king to retrieve Super Ribbonite by winning a wild frolf tournament. The game replaces traditional golf balls with hopping frogs, adding unpredictable jumps, spider‑web obstacles and flying flies to the course. The title blends whimsical sport with kid‑friendly humor, offering both single‑player challenges and local multiplayer modes where friends can battle each other with their own custom frog‑croquet characters.

Swingerz Golf lets you tee up on six diverse courses that feature changing terrain and seasonal weather. Compete with fourteen offbeat characters, each bringing unique personalities and abilities to the fairway. The game uses Ace Golf's intuitive analog swing system for realistic physics, offering tournament, stroke, match, and short‑course modes for up to four players via split‑screen. Win tournaments, beat rivals, and upgrade your gear while enjoying a variety of addictive mini‑games.
