Normal Golf Game

Normal Golf Game is a golf game built almost entirely by Luke Muscat, a solo developer and YouTuber whose earlier credits include Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. The game opens with a premise in which the player has hazy memories, owes a $100,000 fee and cannot find an exit from the course. A fictionalised version of Luke Muscat is the character who traps the player there.

The core mechanics centre on a physics-based approach to swinging the club. Players shape the path of the club while also managing their stance, direction, and the angle and path of the club face. The Steam description presents this as a detailed recreation of golf in which each of these elements has to be handled at the same time.

The setting is a large golf course described as both a trap and a playground. Players can shoot from anywhere on the course and aim at any object. The developer’s listed features include a day out, learning a new sport, and meeting a game developer.
