Synopsis
The golf game for people who hate golf. A silly physics-based golf parody where every golf course is a new surprising type of golf, some brilliant or hilarious, others so absurd they will make you go: What the golf!
What it’s like
What the Golf? is a satirical physics-based puzzle game that subverts the sport's conventions by constantly changing the rules. You begin with standard mini-golf but quickly find yourself controlling horses, cars, or even celestial bodies to hit balls into holes using unconventional mechanics like archery or bowling. The tone is irreverent and whimsical, relying on dry humor and absurdity rather than narrative depth. Structurally, it consists of short, distinct levels that introduce new gags, maintaining a brisk pace through constant novelty. The craft shines in its minimalist, colorful art style and responsive physics engine, which turns simple tasks into chaotic fun. While it lacks traditional storytelling, the writing lives in the game's visual jokes and meta-commentary on gaming tropes.

Keep in mind The humor is highly repetitive; players who dislike absurdity or slapstick comedy may find it grating quickly. · Lack of deep mechanical progression means it serves better as a short party experience than a long-term single-player investment.
