- Greetings from... Forbidden Islands! - 19 May 2017
Our major content update last week added a couple of crazy new courses. Forbidden Islands takes you to a tropical tiki paradise, where not all is as tranquil as it seems. You'll find planets featuring a variety of timing challenges, and even, dare we say it... a boss battle? Here are just a few of the sights in store for intrepid galactic explorers! BTW: these images are all 1080p so they can be used as desktop backgrounds!

- Galaxy Golf is now Moonshot Galaxy™ + New Content REALLY SOON! - 3 May 2017
tl;dr - Moonshot Galaxy™ is a less confusing name, based on player feedback. - We’ve cooked up two new courses and they’re coming SOOOON. Full text below We conducted player surveys about Galaxy Golf and received some helpful feedback. The most glaring thing amongst player responses was the word “Golf” was a little off base. It created an assumption the game would be “just golf in space”. Many customers reported they really enjoyed the game, but were also surprised to find there were no golf clubs or swing involved. Taking this into account, we wanted to rebrand the title with something better suiting the nature of the game. It’s a small change, but should help redefine the impression of the game. We settled on Moonshot Galaxy™. Since the initial launch last year, Liftoff worked on adding leaderboards as well as additional content and refined mechanics. The team also created a build of…

- New Year update - 6 January 2017
Fresh for the New Year, we have a few bug fixes and updates for Galaxy Golf: • Added a neat new key unlock feature for opening up Frosty Brimstone once you finish Pleasant Hills. This is cool now, but it will be more interesting once we add more courses. :) • Polished up some other stuff in the main menu. • Made some improvements to ball follow mode with the gamepad. • Made it easier to toss planets out into space, where they belong. • Fixed a number of issues with various planets. Nit-picky little stuff that only we noticed. But we care, and we don’t like bugs. This is how we show it – with a big can of Bug-B-Gone. Enjoy, and have fun out there!

- Tips and Tricks! - 3 January 2017
Most people have a really easy time getting into the Galaxy Golf controls, but here are some tips that might help you up your game: - While you're aiming, if the shot arc is blue then the shot is clear. If it's gray or red, something's in the way – maybe the tee sign or the edge of the platform? - If you're using motion controls, you can aim with one hand and spin the planet around with the other! This way you can easily set up long shots. - Try tossing the planet away from you while aiming, to get a very high shot arc. This is how you get some of the longest and trickiest shots in the game. It's possible to hole-in-one a few of the planets this way. - You can cancel a shot by dropping the ghost ball back where it started, or pressing the Menu/B buttons. - The difference between Easy and Pro modes is obvious with a gamepad: you get an aiming reticle or you don't. With tracked controller…

- Oculus Touch and Leaderboards Update! - 22 December 2016
We've been working super hard on Galaxy Golf since the first release. A lot of that work has been under the hood to make the game more maintainable going forward. Now that Oculus Touch is out we are updating the Steam release with Oculus Touch support. We no longer need to have multiple launch options to support the Rift and the Vive, and you can switch between gamepad and motion control on the fly. Woot! But also: Leaderboards! We wanted to get these in for the first release but ran out of time. Here they are now, so you can compete worldwide to hit the best scores for each course. Little tip? We believe it's possible to finish Pleasant Hills in just 11 shots. Challenge accepted? We also went through the whole game to clean up and improve each and every planet. Previously we had slightly different versions for the Rift and the Vive, and that's all out now. Everything's better and we sm…

- Galaxy Golf Now Sinking Spaceputts In Virtual Reality - 25 August 2016
Cybergoggleeers, please play Galaxy Golf and allow me to live vicariously through you. It looks like Super Mario Galaxy crazy golf and I’m sorry I can’t find out for myself. Yes, I know I’m the kind of dreadful VR sceptic who calls this latest fad a “fad”. That I’m always saying we’re years away from the future others will tell you is already here. That I insist it’s not even proper VR unless if you die in the game, you die in real life. But I still want to blast balls between dinky planetoids. …
