Shin'en Multimedia built its reputation on engineering. The German studio came out of the demoscene and is still recognisable for getting smooth, clean-running games out of hardware other developers treat as a ceiling. Fun! Fun! Minigolf, from 2008, belongs to its line of smaller digitally distributed releases.

Minigolf is a forgiving genre to design for. Everyone already knows the rules, a single shot takes seconds, and all the interest lives in how precisely you can judge power and angle and how inventively the obstacles are arranged. A good course rewards knowing the line: a hole that takes six strokes when you swing blindly can go down in two once you spot the bank shot the designers intended. Ball physics and the behaviour of the rails decide everything else.

By 2008 the presentation could be fully three-dimensional, with a camera you swing around the hole and a preview run before committing to a shot. It also lands in the period when small studios began selling directly through digital storefronts, which made shorter, cheaper games viable without the overhead of boxed retail.

No publisher is listed in the entry either.

The OldGame.cz page gathers the known release details along with screenshots; there is no playable build attached. As a sports title this is the sort of thing designed for ten-minute sessions with no learning curve to climb — you understand it from the first shot, and the only question is how clean your angles are.
