ZEN Studios Shifting From Pinballs To Mini Golf Balls

Miniature-golf enthusiasts will have one more option to choose from this spring when ZEN Studios releases its Planet MiniGolf on the PlayStation Network. The Hungary-based developers, perhaps best known for their work on the XBLA and PSN pinball game ZEN Pinball, are using their ball-physics engine on more than 140 tiny fairways. In addition to the wide selection of courses, ZEN promises loads of multiplayer options, including weekly online tournaments, and a “deep single-player campaign.” Additionally, the game will support the PlayStation Move, Sony’s motion controller.

“Just as we have delivered the ultimate pinball experience with ZEN Pinball, Planet MiniGolf will serve as the ultimate arcade golfing experience on the PlayStation Network,” said Zsolt Kigyossy, managing director of ZEN Studios. “Planet MiniGolf gives casual players and golfing aficionados alike everything they could ask for in a golf game, with wacky courses, character customization, custom course builder and global competitions.”
