We finally have enough momentum to make a final push to get to Early Access release on Steam, and if you are curious about it, please click here to check out the Kickstarter Campaign we just launched.Everyone that backs it will get immediate access to the current Multiplayer Sandbox, where you can explore & experiment, design & destroy, hang out and have fun alone or with friends:We hope you enjoy it!-Miles @ Pixeljam

- Strange minigolf comedy Cheap Golf is now done - 6 November 2018
“A very odd, easily played, and definitely interesting project, it’s a decent amount of fun, and aurally it shines,” our John said after he met the AI named Susan trying to understand humanity through the minigolf comedy game Cheap Golf . It was in early access back then and now, one year later, it’s proper done. I assume that means Susan has perfectly calibrated the game’s challenges and questions to analyse and understand humanity. Oh god, Susan is going to be so disappointed after we play Cheap Golf. (more…)

- Camera Hotfix - Version 1.0.4 Live - 26 April 2018
We just uploaded a new version (1.0.4) that addresses zooming/camera issues in 1.0.3 when dragging the flinger outside of the play area. It should work much smoother now. -Miles @ Pixeljam
- -Episode 2: Cryptofutures Is Out Now- - 23 April 2018
Hello All, We just released Episode 2! It should be in your current version of the game (1.0.3). We also made the following updates: - Camera zooms out a little smoother - Episode 1 levels got a few changes (mostly difficulty tweaks) - Slight improvements to the editor, but it still has a ways to go - Slo-mo threshold was reduced, so you should see it more (slo-mo is enabled when you fling a ball while it's still moving) We also added 2 new leaderboards (for Ep. 1 + 2) and one new achievement. We also promise it will not take a whole extra year for Episode 3 (and full release) to arrive. We are well underway on that - current estimation is about 2-3 months. Enjoy! -Miles @ Pixeljam PS - The Linux version of Episode 2 is a bit behind and should be available within the week.
- Quick update - level balancing & upcoming tweaks - 11 October 2017
Hello all, Today we uploaded a quick adjustment to the difficulty of a few levels in the game (specifically WAT and QWEST), in an attempt to smooth out the difficulty spikes. The spikes are intentional and part of the story, but some levels are still a bit too spiky and can tend to be more frustrating than challenging. We would rather people see the end of Episode 1 than rage quit, so if there are any levels that drive you nuts, give us feedback in the forums! Coming very soon: - Some smaller sets of levels to keep you occupied and entertained while we work on the bigger episodes, each with their own leaderboard. - Drastic improvements to the editor UI, and new incentives to make and share your own levels :) Keep on golfin' -Miles @ Pixeljam
