Petite Games is planning another game for 3DS. Yesterday, the indie developer announced Petite Games, sharing a couple of screenshots in the process.

Going by the title and images, it’s obvious to see that you’ll be playing golf. Two modes are included: “Endless” and “Arcade”. The former has players hitting a ball in endless levels while the other involves seeing how far you can go with three trie.

Thanks to Jose M for the tip.
