Netflix Minigolf continues the growing phone-as-controller trend. Players load the game on a television and use their phones for aiming and shot power, removing the need for several conventional controllers. The courses draw on Netflix entertainment properties and are built for couch competition. Phones have officially become remotes, cameras, consoles, wallets and now instruments for destroying friendships over miniature golf.
