Fruit Ninja designer reveals Normal Golf Game with a demo - there's nothing normal about it

Waking up on a golf course, you're trapped and the menace game designer Luke Muscat has taken $100K from you - so time to play a totally normal game of golf. Okay, it's anything but normal, you don't even remember how you got there.

About the game

Hazy memories. A $100,000 debt. No sign of an exit. Welcome to Normal Golf Game, the latest project from the twisted well-adjusted mind of Luke Muscat (Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride).

Use physics to manipulate the path of your club, while simultaneously managing your stance, direction, and the angle and path of the face. Explore a giant golf course that is both a trap and a playground. Shoot from anywhere. Hit anything. But remember: you’re not leaving until Luke Muscat himself is satisfied.

Featuring:

• Have nice day out
• Learn a fun new sport
• Meet a game developer

There's a demo live on Steam that appears to work great with Proton 11 on Linux.
