Lava Golf
About
Dive into a new and unexpected take for golf games! In Lava Golf you do not control a golfer, instead you are the golf ball and your objective is to reach the end portal of each course without falling in the lava.
Armed by some unexpected skills for a golf ball, like the ability to dash into the air or to hit the breaks to avoid falling out of a platform, you will need to cross all the portal rings of a course to unlock its exit portal. In each course you'll also find precious experience spheres which will let you gain levels and get skill points you'll be able to use to unlock new incredible abilities and to enhance your existing ones!
Unlock unique skills, cross all the rings, and most importantly... DON'T FALL IN THE LAVA!
The controls are simple
Use your mouse to look around and pick a direction (or use your Left Stick if playing with a gamepad!)
Space to perform an Air Dash and push yourself in the direction the camera is facing
Left Alt to perform an Air Brake, to stop yourself so you can land somewhere safe
Left Ctrl to perform a Ground Dash, to avoid falling in the lava or to snatch some experience spheres
K/T/R/M to use the powerful unlockable abilities

This game was made as the first work of Hexagonal Experiences Inc. a two people small indie dev team. This was a collaboration between me as a Coder/Game Designer and my good friend Atb4sh as an Artist/Level Designer.

Tips and Tricks
- Try to pay attention to the camera overview when starting a new level. While it won't necessarily show you the way, knowledge of the map layout is very important to win!
- Skills that allow you to try again a level are very important, especially when you try a level for the first time.
- Plan your upgrades in advance. Having the right skill or the right powerup will definitely help down the road!
- When first starting out, try not to go too much off the beaten path to get X Spheres. Some are really hard to get!
