About the Game

Platform Golf is a small 2D physics-based arcade golf game about clean shots, quick retries, and better scores.

Hit the ball, reach the goal, and try to finish each level with as many shots left as possible. The first levels are simple and easy to understand, but later on the game gets much more challenging. You will need to think about angles, timing, bounce, gravity, moving platforms, and sometimes just finding a way out of a bad shot.

Most levels can be finished quickly, but getting a good score is the real challenge. Your score depends on how many shots you have left when you reach the goal, so there is often a better route, a cleaner shot, or a smarter solution waiting to be found.

You can reset a level fast, try a new idea, mess it up, and try again right away.

Platform Golf is small, simple, and quick to play, but it is not just a click-and-finish golf game. The later levels ask you to think, experiment, and sometimes take a step back to find the right shot.

Life is like Platform Golf...

Sometimes you have to try a few times to reach your goal

Sometimes you take a breath to make a long shot

Sometimes time is of the essence and you have to make haste!

And sometimes you take a big leap of faith

Often the use of tactics can be helpful to get out of a tricky situation

Letting yourself fall can also be of use

And at some point you may take a step back for this one perfect shot

So you will break through in the end

How all these come together you can find out through the gameplay

So don’t hesitate and start playing one of many challenging Levels!
