Super Sky Golf
by Kyle Reczek

Golf into the sky! as far as you can!

I was going for a relaxing vertical infinite golf game. This was one of the first times I've really used procedural generation, and I think it went pretty well. Had plans for something much more complicated than what it ended up as.

There's actually two levels of proc gen the platforms are picked but also the rough, trees, and sand traps are layered on top if you get high enough.

Worked for me. Great concept. Really different game idea in comparison to the 100+ I evaluated. Liked it. I also liked the little touches, like being able to not shoot, etc.

Managed to play golf just like the real world, where I'd put the ball into the trees or the water ... or in your case, over a cliff ... never to be found again. HAHAHA.

First at all I'm really bad at it but it is very appealing anyway. Some minor things that could be better is more easy difficulty at the start and that it is more fluid when you can shoot next, it always rolls for some time before you can shoot again.

Fun procedural golf game. Really like the elegant graphics and the music reminded me of pilotwings. Nice stuff.

Addicting little game. Want to keep trying to get higher. Found RMB was more better for adjusting the aim than the scrollwheel which seemed to require a lot of scrolling to get just a little bit of change in the angle. Liked the bouncy radio music and how it was positionally based (always sad when the music fades away as you overshoot and go sailing into the abyss).

Haha music got so loud near the radios. Control are tight when using the right mouse button. Island shapes were really interesting.

Great entry!

Great idea, well executed. I suck at it, but I won't blame the game for that.
