AppSpy Recommends
Both myself and James have really enjoyed our time with Golfinity thus far.
It's an endless putting game by NimbleBit that generates new levels for you to continue playing for infinity, all wrapped up in no nonsense minimalist presentation. It's lovely, and free, and you may very well like it a lot.
