To see a world in a bunker of sand
And a heaven in a wild cactus,
Hold infinity in the pocket of your shorts,
And eternity in Desert Golfing.

you guys got in on this?

iOS

Google Play

$0.90 on android and $1.99 on iOS apparently

game has recieved a lot of buzz on twitter from people like jonathan blow

its like a modern atari game and im hooked.

here's a gif of basically all the game is:

also, iOS has leaderboards but android still doesnt : (

 

[Cuphead]

Buying this to play on my new iPhone Friday.

So basically it's like every other iOS golf game?

 

[AsfaeksBR]

Tom Francis (Gunpoint, Heat Signature) also plays it a lot.
I really wanna try it, but I don't trust Play Store that much to put my CC info there.

In the desert.

 

[Creaking]

Didn't I play this on a flash games website in 2005?

 

[Clipse]

Looks like Super Stickman Golf without the power-ups and worse graphics.

 

[ultron87]

I'm only on hole 438. It is so good and I don't know why.

ONE HOLE HAS A CACTUS. One out of 400 holes so far.

 

[VideoMan]

It's also on Amazon. For people like me who have a buttload of coins to spend.

Ok, now I'll get it.. Thanks for the link.

 

[omg_mjd]

They discussed the game at length in the last Idle Thumbs. Apparently every stroke counts since it adds to your score ad infinitum unless you delete the game and reinstall it.

Anyway I'm intrigued and I like the aesthetics, going by the gifs in this thread. Just a toss up whether to get it for my Android phone or my iPod.

yeah, don't get it...

its easily my favorite one tho, kinda hard to explain why.just very simple and addictive

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I got my Amazon coins. Totes bought. Shall come back with stellar review maybe probably.

[OrlanisWorks]

It's pretty good.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Looks like Journey but with more gameplay.

 

[SneakyStephan]

In the desert.

When the ball lands it doesn't even act like sand, so it's just orange

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Dessert Golf. Your ball is a cherry and the hole is the top of a sundae.

 

[Mechanized]

Well this was a waste of money. That's what I get for browsing gaf half-asleep and buying stuff.

There's no goal. It just goes on forever. Boring, pointless. I guess there's some kinda zen shit that could be achieved while zoning out. But you could be playing something fun instead.

 

[Rembrandt]

right. no thanks.

these retro style games like this really need to take a break on the backburner for a minute.

 

[Damaniel]

I like it - I'm a big fan of games that distill the essence of fun out of something, and make that essence playable. Sure, it's not very deep, but that's not the point. (I've played it more than I've played Destiny in the last three days, so there's that.)

I'm at the 852nd hole, with a total stroke count of 2369.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Looks dumb. Funny description though.

 

[bobawesome]

The new Flappy Bird?

its relaxing and im having fun with that

also the levels get difficult soon enough and provide some challenge

ill agree its not for everyone tho, i guess

 

[homeworkfilms]

Ian Bogost has tweeted about it over the last little while. It gets very philosophical.

 

[Salsa]

more people need to play this

 

[Gen X]

I had to admit, I laughed.

 

[aeolist]

bought it with my google survey credits

it's really good! but i'm mad since hole 8 took me like 24 strokes and now my score is ruined forever and i hate it

 

[Josh7289]

Hey I bought it and it's fun. Extremely simplistic, right? But it's a good timekiller.

 

[Salsa]

this continues to be all I need from mobile games really

 

[Frith]

who made this?
Every indie pimp on twitter is all aflame over this game and that can surely only be because one of their friends made it. There is no way this comes out of the random mulch of the App Store organically, right?

follow
the
money



its ok i guess...


fake edit: google says its the enviro-bear dude, so thats cool..?

 

[Samus4145]

Not on WP8. Looks kind of neat.

[Heavy_D_Forever]

This game looks crappy as hell, and I love Golf games.

 

[GodofWine]

Yea, i was pretty sure i had basically played this game already, and that's it, Stick man golf, it comes pre installed on Rokus...i don't see why this game deserves to be one of the lucky ones to actually torn a decent profit

It's weird, almost all the indie devs I follow on Twitter talked about it, but it has very few downloads overall. Seems almost unfair to other games.

I do really like it, though.

 

[Xater]

Yeah I don't get it. Why should I pick this over Stickman Golf 2, which by the way is free right now.?

 

[zoukka]

Post of the year.

 

[RM8]

Who says games can't be meaningful experiences?

I don't like that it's more expensive on iOS. I'll play it when the hype is gone

 

[mrklaw]

Stickman 2 is free and awesome. $2 is crazy money

If you want something a little different, flappy golf is also a ton of fun

 

[bounchfx]

bought it.

almost can't believe i did. paying $2 for this opposed to other games that have taken far more effort is insane, but at the same time, it does the job for what I want from a desert golfing game


golf/10 would open app again

but it really should be 99c

 

[Sande]

So basically this is just like any other mobile golf game with all the color taken out. And it's successful? How?

I just realized that this gif looks weird with Denzel instead of Kaz. Too much GAF I guess.

 

[mattiewheels]

more people need to play this

So this is Stickman Golf, but only super-pretentious. Is that why all the indie guys are pimping it?

There is one big difference, which is the scoring system. There are only two numbers: the hole you're at and the number of shots you took to get there. No reset, no second chances. You have to delete the game to start over.

Exactly what I was going to say. Super Stickman Golf was absolutely fantastic, the only iOS game I've ever played that I'd be happy to fully recommend.
