Pros
Pro Simple, but fun
The simple controls are easy to pick up, but hard to master. When you're playing with friends, it's a nice competitive environment with ample originality and thought put into the level design.
Pro Interesting ranges keep players enguaged
From rolling logs, rotating parts of the range, and super-speed convener belts, the more difficult ranges have obstacles which would be virtually impossible in real-world minigolf.
If you want to go even more interesting, you can change your golf balls out for cones, which will roll unpredictably and turns the difficulty up to 11.
Pro Active developers
This game is still extremely early access, but the devs are regularly updating with bug fixes and additional content.
Pro Challenging and fun
For what is a 20 year old game to still hold in gameplay, story and presentation is quite a feat and an enjoyable one at that.
Pro Great remake
The newly added HD graphics show that much time was spent creating a fantastic remake of what was a very iconic game.
Pro Controller support
Another World features controller support for MOGA devices as well as the Xperia Play.
Cons
Con Hard to view the range before shooting
Some of the ranges have obstacles which are hard to see before shooting - for example jumps over a streams, drops, or other obstacles. You can zoom out and pan around from your starting position, but you can't preview the range from the top.
Con Non-ergonomic menu
The main menu isn't very intuitive, but it does look nice. After a bit of hunting you can find what you're looking for, but it could certainly be made easier.
Con Some issues with the control scheme
Touch controls for movements such as jump can be hard to pull off as the swipe gesture needs to be very exact.
