About Golf Orbit
There is no putting here. A hole is a single hit, and everything that matters happens in the moment you stop the power meter. The ball then travels as far as that reading allows, past whatever obstacles the course has put in its path.
The reward sits outside the swing: distance earns you something, and the golfer can be dressed differently with it. One input runs the whole game, so it plays on a phone as readily as on a desktop, in landscape at 800 by 600.
How to play
- Line up the shot and watch the power meter.
- Stop the meter to swing and send the ball down the course.
- Collect what the distance earns, then spend it on your golfer.

Tips
- The top of the meter is not always the right answer. An obstacle low on the course punishes a flat, hard hit.
- Distance is the currency, so a run that goes further pays for the next one.
