It's time! We can finally tell you about Ballgame, our chaotically rewarding physics platformer that’s inspired by golf. Here’s our teaser trailer:

What we're making is anything but a golf game. It’s definitely golf-inspired but imagine taking a ton of different kinds of ball games like pinball or skeeball and smashing them together with golf.

So, maybe nothing like a golf game?

In Ballgame, you are the ball.

More precisely, you are Dolf T. Landgreen (like dungeon + golf? Or Dolph Lundgren!) and you just became conscious (more on that later). As Dolf, you will play in tournaments where you need to get from the tee to the hole in as few strokes as possible. You'll fling through the air, ride across moss, speed through grass, and smash into walls while avoiding obstacles like spikes or weird bouncer dudes.

Each hole has a par you can measure yourself up against.

What's been rewarding for us is not only perfecting the leaderboard but beating ourselves, improving our shots with every replay. If you like to get good, you'll be in good company with Ballgame. We can’t wait to share more with you in the weeks and months ahead.
