Fantastic game. Just finished all levels, loved getting a new mechanic in most new worlds. Great ramp up from a simple level 1 on each world, to something more complex by the end. The final 3-4 puzzles of each world are the real challenge, and I personally found 9-12 to be the hardest
An instant classic! One of the best puzzle games in a long time. Steady increasing difficulty and new inventive mechanics have you keep your eye on the ball.
Hi there! I picked up Golf Peaks through the massive itch bundle and I had to stop by to say: I loved this game. Such an interesting premise, and the introduction of he mechanics is super smooth. I love how it looks, how it sounds, how it plays... all of it! I only really struggled with 2 puzzles out of the core 90, which is amazing (because I'm not the best at these kinds of games). I was only intending to try the game, and then stayed up too late just to get through it all!
Y'all should be really proud of what you made here.
I've attached my playthrough video if you're at all interested.
I know it's not supported, but for anyone curious, I was able to play the Windows version using Wine on Linux, although when the window lost focus it couldn't gain focus again.
Only just started playing it but I'm constantly getting reminded of them good ol' flash games. Introducting mechanics that exist in golf and also logically make sense within the game, pretty nice.
Really fun game!!! Included in the Racial Justice Bundle! The BGM is amazing, soothing, makes you feel like you have to run??? I found myself pushing through the levels. Sometimes I got stuck but figured them out eventually. Make sure to take a break here and there so that your brain doesn't get stressed out lol. 8.5/10!!
This is amazing, so glad to have discovered this in the Racial Justice bundle. Finally found a puzzle game to keep me occupied after finishing Baba Is You and Sokobond (will happily take other recommendations too).
Any chance of the Android .apk being part of the purchased bundle? Would love to play this on my phone, although I'm happy to throw the money your way of course.
Thank you for the kind words! It's always great to hear Golf Peaks compared to other great puzzle titles :)
Regarding the APK, we're still investigating putting it here but for the time being the game is available on the Play Store and in Google Play Pass: http://g.co/play/golfpeaks
A+ game. Great graphics, great sfx, great difficulty (hard enough to be challenging but not too hard to be frustrating). Great game all around. My only complaints are the mechanics don't work how you think they would sometimes, and the music can easily get repetitive. Sill would highly recommend. My favorite game I picked up on the bundle so far
Fantastic little puzzle game with a unique theme and a simple premise. You have several movement cards to choose from and need to direct the ball into the goal. Sounds easy? It gets deviously tricky in the later levels and I had a blast playing through them. The introduced mechanics keep you on your toes and will require you to rethink new challenges and its very mesmerizing to pull off a carefully planned solution and watch your ball glide into the hole. Soothing, fun and highly recommended for puzzle game lovers. 4,5/5
I just downloaded this for iOS (10.15.4) after buying the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, was excited to play it, but I only get a message saying this application can't be opened. Do I need to download something additional in order to be able to open this game on my computer?
This is a wonderful little puzzle game! Its design is slick, effective and pretty, and its levels all very clever. I especially liked the fact that, by world 6 or 7, I felt like I knew how the level designer was thinking and expecting me to do, a rare happenstance in these sort of games!
What a lovely game. I had fun with it; my teen and eight year old had fun with it. Even my three year old likes solving the basic world 1 and 2 levels.
Very cute, relaxing and later on even quite challenging! Was looking for a little game that I could just play for a round or two now and then...and it was perfect for that. Nice combination of minigolf and puzzles. c:
Very nicely paced, it introduces new mechanics at the perfect rate. Always keeps you at the "ooh, I need to think this one through" point, never too hard.
Adding a comment to confirm that the solution on this page works in macOS Catalina (10.15.5). Thanks for posting a solution so I could enjoy your game!
Hi, we'll need to discuss this with the rest of the team and think about that, but for now the Android version is available on the Play Store: http://g.co/play/golfpeaks
I'm on world 3 right now... and this game is absolutely wonderful. I adore virtual golf and puzzle games, and this game is really easy to get into, but keeps you on your toes a bit with adding new things. So far there have been a few levels which have been a bit eh either because they just feel bland or they felt too easy compared to levels before and after them, but overall a fun game!!
Also the aesthetic and the music is absolutely baller. Love the very simple yet pleasing art style, and the music changing in certain worlds is super cool and helps make it not feel repetitive.
I got this game as part of the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality and it is fantastic! I love the look of it. The puzzles are fun and challenging. Just an overall awesome puzzle game!
A good and polished game. I enjoyed it. Some levels are only lukewarm though. It lacks more levels which are fun to solve, involve more creative puzzles and new ideas.
I just purchased the game and downloaded the mac version but my mac is telling me that the application cannot be opened. What could be happening? Any help appreciated! :)
I looked into the issue on a 2017 MacBook Air and the game launched fine, but you might need to grant a security exception to the app (because of the OSX security policies): https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac
If that doesn't help, please let us know at golf@afterburn.games
As mentioned to you on our Discord, doing a proper Linux version would force us to halt all other development (meaning, working on our current project) for an indefinite period of time (anywhere from a week to a month). Unfortunately, our team is not big enough to be able to keep working on new stuff while also delegating someone to research Linux support.
Since we are not using the platform ourselves and thus cannot really guarantee doing a proper native Linux port, we've opted not to make one. We've got accounts of people saying that they've had no issues emulating the game on Linux via Proton, but for obvious reasons we cannot give any guarantees of that working across all distributions and driver configurations.
Really great puzzler that uses some golf concepts, like resetting just before you fell into water, to evolve the mechanics in really fun and intuitive ways.
The card selection for which action might feel gimicky, but really it's a smooth way to select your actions and the game has a great flow to it. Especially with quality of life stuff like the last remaining action/card being automatically selected so you can quickly push through to the levels end.
Just really wish there were more levels. It feels like the mechanics there could have so many more levels built with them in mind, a level creator would just be the best. Either way it was a fun and engaging couple hours with mechanics and ideas introduced at a steady pace, strongly recommended!

excellent concept and a fun little game!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the game :)
I really enjoy this game
Thanks, glad to hear :)
Cool game. Would you consider publishing in China with it?
Only just started playing it but I'm constantly getting reminded of them good ol' flash games. Introducting mechanics that exist in golf and also logically make sense within the game, pretty nice.
Thanks, we tried hard to make the mechanics as self-explanatory as possible (though they get weirder as the game progresses :)

Thanks for the super positive review :)
Fantastic puzzle game, I've been consistently challenged and captivated throughout my playthrough. I only wish there was more!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Would we be able to get access to the APK here?
Hi, for now we're only offering the Android version on the Play Store: http://g.co/play/golfpeaks but we're looking into alternatives :)

Hi, we're having some trouble with notarization on Catalina, but while we're figuring out these issues you should be able to get the game up and running by following this guide: https://howtomacos.com/2019/02/24/fix-the-application-cant-be-opened-on-mac/
Let us know if it helped :)
This doesn't work for me, unfortunately.
Scratch that, got it working, but I needed to escape the space in Golf Peaks (chmod +x /Applications/Golf\ Peaks.app/Contents/MacOS/*)
Glad to hear that it finally worked! Hope you enjoy the game :)
Thanks so much for this! I was having the same problem too.

Just picked this up on the bundle, after seeing it being played on a twitch stream. Absolutely love this gem of a game!!
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
Can we have a. Apk file or we have to buy it on playstore
Hi, for now we're only offering the Android version on the Play Store: http://g.co/play/golfpeaks but we're investigating alternatives.
Very nicely paced, it introduces new mechanics at the perfect rate. Always keeps you at the "ooh, I need to think this one through" point, never too hard.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
Any chance to make it run on MacOs Catalina ?
Hi, we still need to investigate their recent changes to app building & notarization, but in the meantime you might be able to make it work by following this guide: https://howtomacos.com/2019/02/24/fix-the-application-cant-be-opened-on-mac/
Let us know if it fixes the issue for you!
Wow, it did work, thanks !
Glad it works now! :)

Lovely little puzzle game, highly recommend giving it a go. Each world adds an interesting new mechanic to tickle your brain.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the game :)
Have you considered putting the .apk here too? Seems like a perfect mobile game!

Fantastic game. My wife thought me getting so many games was silly, but this one she was like, wow, that looks great. Thank you!
Thanks, glad to hear you both enjoyed it :)

From a terminal window type: sudo chmod +x "/Applications/Golf Peaks.app/Contents/MacOS/Golf Peaks"
I really want to buy that, but why is there no Linux port?
It's already on Android, so porting it to Desktop Linux shouldn't be a problem.

neat, mobile release? =)
We're out on iOS and Android! :)
nice!
This is a fantastic puzzle game and believe my review reflects this: https://humbleisbumble.blogspot.com/2019/04/golf-peaks-review.html
Thanks for posting the review! :)
Why doesn't it say anywhere that this is also on Switch? It doesn't even show up on the eshop savings app.
Hey, good point, updated the description with Switch and Android links. Not sure what you mean by the "eshop savings app" though.
Hi itch.io and afterburn
in this price you are giving complete source code (project) for downloading or this is for playing on windows and mac
Hey, no source code or assets are included - you're only able to download ready executables for Win and Mac.
Will there be a level editor in the future?
Hey, we don't have any plans for that at the moment, but we'll do a proper announcement if anything changes :)
For now, please enjoy today's update adding 12 new, challenging levels!
reminds me of marble madness
:D

Glad you liked it. We're planning to release more levels for free soon, so look forward to that :)
Wow, super excited for that :D. For free even is really generous, thanks a lot for your efforts :)!
Will be there an android version?
Hey, we're looking into it but we don't have any specific plans at the moment :)
EDIT: it's out! http://g.co/play/golfpeaks
Great game! Check out my video review to get an idea if it's for you!
Very nice game! I've play the beta on steam and I like it!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
