Sky Golf

The pitch

Sky Golf is a physics-based puzzle game where your objective is to guide a golf ball from a starting point to the hole. The golf ball rests on a complex structure made entirely of flat, interconnected platforms. Your primary mechanism for moving the ball is to rotate the entire platform structure either clockwise or anti-clockwise by set increments. When you rotate the platforms, gravity acts on the ball, causing it to roll across the flat surfaces. You must strategically time and execute these rotations to change the angle of the platforms, build momentum, and perfectly direct the ball across gaps and around obstacles until it safely drops into the goal. Each level challenges your spatial reasoning to find the precise sequence of rotations required for success.

Controls & how it runs

On Desktop/PC: -Rotate Left (Anti-Clockwise): Hold the Left Arrow key -Right (Clockwise): Hold the Right Arrow key On Mobile: -Simply tap and hold the on-screen buttons on the left or right side of the display to rotate the platforms in that direction.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Sky Golf — quick-fire questions

Does Sky Golf cost anything to play?

Not a token. The cabinet is free from the first run to the five-hundredth — no wallet, no sign-up, no toll booth hiding three levels in. The adverts around the page are what keep the floor's lights on.

What sort of game is Sky Golf?

It stands on our Sports row — that's the family it plays most like. The pitch above is the publisher's own rundown of what it throws at you and what it hands back.

Can I play Sky Golf on my phone?

Happily, yes. It runs inside the browser on phones and tablets the same way it does on a computer. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. Sky Golf is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
