The bigger canvas allows for better touch controls dues to the size of where a player needs to touch and control the ball. The better graphics of course allows the game to look sharp on HD displays.

Cons
Con Puzzles could be deeper
With such an amazing graphic design, the level of depth to the puzzles feels almost disappointing.

The longer one takes on the course the more one is penalized, which can force players to feel rushed and also does not allow one to enjoy the scenery of the game, which is disappointing.
