GolfZ

Let's play Survival Golf!

Our hero wants to play some golf in the evening.

What could possibly go wrong?

Instructions

* Aim with the mouse and watch the strength meter
* Click the mouse or spacebar to shoot the ball
* Get the ball to the flag (you know.. good old golf rules)
* Move around with ASDW or the arrow keys

And according to golf rules negative score is better!

oh.. also watch out for some zombies! Fight them with your club! (mouse button or space bar)

How do I run the game?

This time we ditched using HTML5 and have made executable files instead. The performance difference to HTML5 is huge.

* Download GolfZ for Mac or Windows
* Extract the zip-file
* Execute the golfz.exe file on Windows
* Execute the golfz.app file on Mac
(If Mac says Unidentified developer then hold down ctrl, right click and select Open to allow it to run)

If the .exe or .app-file fails and you have java 7 or later installed please download the jar-file instead

and start it with:

java -jar golfz.jar

Let us know in the comments if it doesn't work instead of negative voting!

Tools used

* The excellent LibGDX game engine
* IntelliJ IDE
* Aseprite
* Gimp
* Ableton live
* Audacity

We have opted out from Audio because:
Sound credits to BBC newly open sound archive available for non commercial, educational and personal use.
The intro tune was created during the jam but the winning tune is taken from our LD36 entry.

All other content (sprites and code) was done during the jam weekend.
