‘Desert Golfing’ Sequel ‘Golf on Mars’ Now Available on iOS and Android

TouchArcade Rating:I have been a major fan of developer Justin Smith of Captain Games ever since the arrival of “The Best Bear Driving Simulator in the App Store" Enviro-Bear 2010 ($1.99) on the iPhone more than a decade ago in July of 2009.
