Game Oversigt & History

HERE’S A LITLE one-button golf game I first made inThe Spil Factory, just before the turn of the century,at the peak of my interest in gaminimalism.

I’m not especially fussed about real sports but I havetaken pleasure from some of the more… dramatised computer and video game interpretations, like Pong, Decathlon, Summer Spil, Leaderboard, Kick Off,Wii Sports…

Gameplay Mechanics & Systems

I know from playing golf games that I can’t be botheredwith the whole club selection thing and there’s little joyor skill in aiming (unless there’s an uneven green orthe unpredictable element of wind involved); all I wantto do is focus on playing a shot. So, with that in mind…

The golfer always faces the hole and uses themost suitable club.You only need to apply enough power whentaking the shot. (There’s no need for the likesof a hook or slice penalty for applying too muchpower, simply because there’s inconvenienceenough overshooting.)Press and hold the left-hand mouse button toincrease the power of the shot.Hit harder when the ball is in a bunker.Avoid the water.
