World and Mission

Orla’s moonlit course has 30 holes. The routes use meadow greens, low banks and water hazards; later holes shift the start, cup and obstacles to ask for a new line.

Clear a hole to open the next one. Every fifth hole is a checkpoint, and earlier holes stay on the map so you can return to improve a best score.

How the Systems Work

Pull back from the ball, away from the direction you want it to travel. The pull sets both aim and power; release to putt. A short pull is easier to control, while a long pull sends the ball farther and can make a miss harder to recover.

Walls and banks redirect the rolling ball. Water returns the ball to its previous position; the stroke still counts. You earn 1 acorn at par and 1 more for each stroke under par; over par earns none.

The result screen offers Retry, Next hole or Trail map. Best strokes for each hole and the next unlocked hole are stored in this browser, not an online account.

How to Play

  1. Choose an unlocked hole and check its par and visible hazards.
  2. Place the pointer or finger at the ball, then pull back in the direction opposite your intended shot.
  3. Release to putt. Watch where the ball stops; if a long pull reaches water, retry with less power or use a bank to approach from the safe side.
  4. Clear the hole to continue, retry it, or return to the map. Replay an earlier hole whenever you want to improve its best score.

Strategy Tips

  • A common mistake is pulling too far when the cup is beyond a wall. The extra power can carry the ball into water; try a shorter bank shot and leave a manageable second putt.
  • Aim for the open side of a bank before trying a direct line. A safe first stroke can set up a clearer approach to the cup.
  • Use par as a target, not a timer. If a hole takes extra strokes, it remains replayable and does not erase later unlocks.

Campaign and Difficulty Growth

The first five holes introduce aim, power and bank rebounds. Checkpoints follow holes 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.

Later holes combine shifted obstacles, longer routes and higher par targets. The same pull-and-release controls remain in use, and the course can be replayed after hole 30.

Developer Design Note

Touch and mouse use drag-and-release; keyboard aiming uses the arrow keys and Enter. The 30 holes save best scores and unlocks in this browser, with no account or online ranking.

Parent Note

Animal Putt Trails is a calm, general-audience putting puzzle. There is no account, purchase or public ranking. Hole unlocks and best strokes stay in this browser and may be removed if its site data is cleared.
