PRESENT & LOOK TO THE FUTURE

Initial Open Beta ‘Pocket Edition for iOS’ Launch.

We launched Pocket Edition for iOS in Open Beta for three crucial reasons: to develop fixes in live-time based on user feedback, to create more ways to share the wonder of Walkabout Mini Golf with people you know, and to see how you actually use it before we release it for sale.

We as Coconuts are so grateful to have such a supportive community of players who can provide this support, feedback, and love.

Please Note:

  • Pocket Edition for iOS is launching in pre-release Open Beta state. Some bugs are expected to be present, and any/all features have the potential to change before our official release.

  • In our current Beta state, we encourage our users to only utilize their mobile phone devices for playing Pocket Edition for the time being. Our team is currently adding further polish to our iPad configuration and is making adjustments to performance, UI/UX, etc. for iPad support. Our team will make an announcement and update our messaging when iPad support is updated.

On the Horizon:

  • Polish to UI/UX.

  • Revamping and expanding existing game features; developing fixes based on user feedback.

  • More courses to putt around and explore.


We will be posting all of our announcements around Pocket Edition updates, expansions, and more on our official social/web platforms. Please follow our X/Facebook/Instagram channels and join our Discord server to get the latest Walkabout news.

FAQs

Here you can find questions around device troubleshooting, game application troubleshooting, and general support links for further queries if you cannot find the answer to your question here.

DEVICE

Note: Individual device troubleshooting is variable on many factors including storage space, hardware usage, age of device, general wear-and-tear, etc. These factors can also influence the performance of the game application.

What iPhone / iPad models are supported?

  • To play Pocket Edition for iOS, you'll need to be on iOS 16 or higher for your iPhone or iPad device. You can see a list of supported devices on this iOS version here - Apple support documentation.

  • In our current Beta state, we encourage our users to only utilize their mobile phone devices for playing Pocket Edition for the time being. Our team is currently adding further polish to our iPad configuration and is making adjustments to performance, UI/UX, etc. for iPad support. Our team will make an announcement and update our messaging when iPad support is updated.

    • The screen dimension differences between devices may result in a varied appearance of our UI.

    • Note: some devices listed as supported may not be fully optimized for playing Pocket Edition due to RAM/power demand of the game application, age of device with wear-and-tear, etc. Support is variable and may be updated or changed by Apple. Mighty Coconut is not held responsible for supporting all hardware instances mentioned above.


When will you support Android?

  • Our team is laying the foundations of future Pocket Editions with iOS for now - that is to say, we can’t say when we’ll support Android as it is dependent on our VR development schedule and on feedback gained from our iOS Open Beta period. We would encourage you to follow our social platforms for news updates around Pocket Edition, as we’ll be messaging out any major updates through these avenues. Ultimately, the best way you can help bring the game to Android is by helping us get more people playing it on iOS.

GAME APPLICATION

For new players, we recommend running through our in-game Tutorial. This Tutorial is automatically toggled ON the first time a player launches Pocket Edition. If you would like to run through it again you can create a new profile on the ‘Profile’ settings tab and launch a course. To create a new in-game profile, click on the ‘Profile’ settings tab and click on one of the open profile slots.

Tips, Tricks, and Tidbits:

  • Using a finger swipe on the large panel images at the home screen will move through our Shack Dispatches. These include game tips, quips, and news.

  • Play in a well-lit area to ensure your camera tracking is accurate. On the topic of camera tracking, be aware that some grip styles of holding the phone may result in you errantly covering your cameras– this will drastically affect your gameplay.

  • Playing Pocket Edition with headphones is the best way to have clearer conversations with your golfmates and to hear the sweet tunes of Walkabout, without bothering your neighbors.

  • Pocket Edition is crossplay with our VR app. This will be limited to Private Rooms only for the time being. On the scorecards in multi-application rooms there will be a symbol (next to the username, left side) that denotes if a user is on the mobile app or in-headset.

  • For navigating in-game, we recommend that users utilize a combination of smooth locomotion and teleport locomotion; both are accessible at the same time in Pocket Edition. For increased finesse when moving around a course, users can hold and drag the ‘Binoculars’ button on-screen from left to right to adjust the horizontal view. Users can hold and drag the three dots menu button on-screen to reveal a ‘D-Pad’ display that allows users to use smooth locomotion around the course.

Where do I find my settings?

  • You can find your game settings by clicking into ‘Single Player’ mode, then clicking on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. This will pull up a larger menu for your settings, as well as cosmetic (Avatar, ball, putter) selections and profile selection.

How do I leave gameplay feedback?

  • We recommend all of our users to route their feedback through our Discord server where a specific Pocket Edition Open Beta category will be set, with varying channels to leave feedback and discuss course development, features, etc. Please find the link above. Users can also leave feedback directly through Testflight.
