Cheap Golf news & patch notes

Hello All, You may or may not know that we made a browser game 15 years ago called Dino Run. We are finally making a sequel and have a coming soon page for it now. Please wishlist it if it interests you: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2590330/Dino_Run_2/ It's a multiplayer prehistoric platformer / runner with a lot of visual customizations & user-made levels. You can keep up with its development via our Discord server and also on pixeljam.com/dinorun. -Miles @ Pixeljam {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10209198/f12ea75201dc7c2b9e61c7e12e87ab3e47c9514e.png

Hello all, Yesterday we launched PIXELJAM COMPLETE, a massive collection that brings together 14 years of our creative output in a single bundle. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6883465/52afdd3b33033872257b632aab4595fb34aa93bf.png

• 20+ games & soundtracks
• Prototypes & alphas from projects we never finished
• Wallpapers, design sketches, art, gifs, comics, music & more

You can find it here: pixeljam.itch.io/pixeljam-complete In tandem with this bundle, we are also rolling out "supporter packs" for each of our games on Steam, that contain sketches, concept art, gifs, wallpapers & soundtracks: (click each game for its supporter pack) Cheap Golf Potatoman Seeks The Troof Glorkian Warrior Last Horizon Dino Run DX Gamma Bros (Launches Oct 21) Snowball! (Launches Oct 21) If you just want the goodies for 1 or 2 of our games, the Steam DLC's are the way to go. However, each of them are only about 1% of the total contents of the Pixeljam Complete bundle, which is overall a much better value. Also, if you'd like to help boost our launch signal, click here. Thanks for the ongoing support! -Miles @ Pixeljam

If you'd like to help us spread the word about launch, please RT! https://twitter.com/pixeljamgames/status/1110935441098723330 We hope you love it! -Miles @ Pixeljam

Another week, another update... version 1.11 now has SPEEDRUN MODE, which means:

• No cutscenes
• A single timer for the entire episode
• A new speedrun leaderboard for each episode

Your time will only submit to Steam if you make it to the very end of the episode, of course. If you'd like to help us spread the word: https://twitter.com/Cheap__Golf/status/1064628770433363970 We hope you enjoy the new feature! More stuff in the works, including Episode 4 and weekly challenges. -Miles @ Pixeljam

Hello all, Due to multiple requests for this, we've added STORY MODE to the game. (Available in version 1.1 and up) Press M on the title screen to toggle between normal / story mode. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/28377598/728cfa24e2ed7b0c45b4840d4466fdce49c232be.png Story Mode: Levels no longer have a par - you can fling as many times as you want. However, you receive no score for any level you complete in story mode. This is useful for those that want to see what SUSAN has in store for them but have gotten stuck on a particular level. SPEEDRUN MODE is coming up next! :) -Miles @ Pixeljam

Hello all, We're excited to announce the launch of our latest original game, CHEAP GOLF: https://store.steampowered.com/app/616520/Cheap_Golf/ It's a surreal and (sometimes) 4th-wall-breaking minigolf comedy starring a mysterious AI bot named SUSAN. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6883465/f1430490b7bd8d31d681542d582392db67df40c9.gif It just left Early Access, and is currently 20% off this week. If you are feeling super awesome and would like to help us get the word out, please consider retweeting this: https://twitter.com/Cheap__Golf/status/1059491318454468608 We hope you enjoy it! -Miles @ Pixeljam

Hello Golfers, Today marks the day we unleash SUSAN upon the world. Today is the day CHEAP GOLF leaves Early Access! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/28377598/f1430490b7bd8d31d681542d582392db67df40c9.gif The game should auto-update to version 1.0.97 (1.0.95 on Linux), and contain all 3 episodes. More are planned for 2019... Thanks for the patience and support. And if you feel like helping us boost the launch signal: https://twitter.com/Cheap__Golf/status/1059491318454468608 Take care, -Miles @ Pixeljam

Hello Linux Users, We finally have an updated Linux build that brings us up to parity with the Windows and Mac versions. The full release candidate, 1.0.95, is ready to test and can be found on the BETA branch. If you have any feedback about it, leave a comment here or email me at [email protected]. Thanks for the patience! -Miles @ Pixeljam

Hello Golfers, The full release of Cheap Golf is... NOVEMBER 5TH! Hopefully SUSAN. will behave. This will add many quality-of-life updates to the game, as well as Episode 3: Every Day We Grow. If you'd like to help us get the word out about it, please RT this: https://twitter.com/Cheap__Golf/status/1050120242637099008 https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/28377598/b8925f90d27db82c9e58cacba273357c7031c34c.png -Miles @ Pixeljam

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

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.

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
