Remember Wizard Golf RPG? If you don't then you should do -it's not often a unique idea like this pops up, you know? (It even came third in one of our Big Indie Pitches.)

It's coming out on iOS on January 8th 2015. But, if you're in New Zealand, you can download it right now on the App Store [download] as it's been soft-launched in your country. Lucky buggers.

As the title suggests, Wizard Golf RPG is an unusual combination of turn-based dungeon crawling and golf.

You play a wizard that must move through several rooms and floors of a dungeon to collect loot. In fact, there are 12 "courses" with nine "holes" in each.

The catch is that the movement of the wizard is restrained to the rules of golf. So you have to aim and then shoot him across the dungeons while trying to use as few spells as possible to reach the exit.

You can go for par, or instead focus your efforts on defeating monsters, collecting hidden golden skulls, or grabbing loot in order to buy new weapons such as the boomerang or bomb rod.

Wizard Golf RPG will be free to download when it's launched worldwide on iOS next week.
