Void Golf
Void Golf is a little game about shooting giant pieces of space rock into black holes, using gravitational fields, physics-defying walls and wormholes.
As in traditional human golf, the fewer hits, the better.
No need to worry though, you can always hide the hit counter and just chill.
Controls
- [Left click] to charge the shot.
- [Spacebar] to reset an ongoing shot (the hit still counts, though!)
- [H] to hide/show the hit counter.
You can play in your browser or download the game. Mac OS X and Linux versions weren't tested, so be prepared for the worst!

Great game! Super relaxing music, and the difficulty was just right, at least for me. It would definitely benefit from having some indication that there are… 30 levels, was it? It would give it a stronger sense of direction and purpose to the minute by minute playing. But definitely worth a play, I had a great time.
Thank you for playing and for your kind words!
Excellent game, has a lot of potential! Genius idea the only things that are missing are: game menu and restart button. (for when you shoot the ball with 1% and you don't want to wait an eternity)
Thank you for playing! The spacebar allows you to restart the shot
I got passed lvl 1 lol that's it I don't understand how to play this game lol
Highly recommend zooming out before playing. Browser might not be able to resize the playfield whilst the game is in motion. (Esc to come back to this page, resize, then resume game.)
really loved this game! Gave me a great feeling of accomplishment once I beat it. score 399.
Thank you for playing!
Super fun! I can't put my finger on why this is so compelling, but I have to keep playing!
The fact that people still play my little silly game after four years fills me with joy. Thank you!
Howdy, I really enjoyed your game, Is there anyway you'd be willing to do an interview about indie devs on my podcast?
Thank you for the offer but I don't really consider myself an indie dev tbh, I haven't work in these kinds of projects for a really long time. Glad you liked the game though!
The sound when charging is really helpful, thanks
Good Gam
I am entranced by this game. This could be a huge mobile hit.
:)
great game!
Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah, some kind of level counter would've definitely helped here. Also displaying the controls in-game, since it looks like some people didn't notice you can restart the shots.
True! I can't complain about that since discovering the spacebar resetting came fairly naturally to me.
there are how many levels now?
Good game, I juts wish there was a restart button, because sometimes I click and the golf ball goes so slow, and I have to wait so long for it to crash so that I can have another go.
There is! Press space to immediately prepare the next shot.
(Parece ser que hablas español así que lo escribiré en español...) Es un muy buen juego, es simple y muy bien hecho, el diseño de niveles esta bastante bien y con una dificultad elevada pero no imposible, muy buen juego :)
Gracias por jugar, me alegro de que te haya gustado!
I love this!
Thank you for playing :)
deberia haber un sistema de guardado de partida :(
Gracias por jugar! Normalmente se pueden completar todos los niveles de una sentada en menos de una hora, por eso no le metí guardado :p
This game is good the difficulty and the mechanics contrast well the feeling when you win a level is just sp satisfying the simplicity of the graphic and music are good for anyone on a device with poor performance also i think this game would have a gret port to ios and android if given the opportunity!
Hi men the game i present me a problem in the level 11 the game bug after 'x' shots can be a error for my PC
Hey. Can you be more specific? What happens exactly? Did you play in your browser or did you download the game?
The art and atmosphere are good, but it's too difficult. I don't know if you added a secret tutorial, but you're introducing new things too quickly. I made it to hole 4, knowing that the small grey rock can bend your trajectory. However, it didn't bend it enough and I didn't understand what the purple striped area does.
Sorry to hear that! The purple area is an ordinary obstacle, it makes you fail the shot so you have to use the planet's gravity to reach the black hole. It's just a matter of using the right power and direction. The game can be difficult sometimes, but eventually you can beat even the hardest level. Hope you give it another shot :)
Hey, love the atmosphere of this game. How'd you create the music? I'm new to music production but I've noticed what a huge impact it can have on atmosphere so any advice you've got on the subject would be appreciated.
Hey there! I'm a newbie too. I used Ableton Live for the music and the SFX. I had some ideas for the song, watched a couple of tutorials and the rest was just messing around with the program for hours. I'd say find some chords you like and build the song around them? Websites like this one can help a lot.
Well with Cactusmancer's title 'Void Golf' we can finally know what it's like to fire our asteroid (golf balls are so 2019) into the deep depths of space; and track trajectories across the stars.
Like all great puzzle games mechanics you'll be smugly assured that you understand how everything fits together, and then 20 minutes later you'll be questioning your very sanity on how to properly navigate around planetary orbits to intercept black holes.
I may have lost my sanity but I loved every moment <3
