Golfinity is a 2014 golf game developed and published by the American indie studio NimbleBit. In Golfinity, the player must aim a golf ball into a hole in each procedurally generated golf course with as few shots as possible. Golfinity was released for iOS devices on November 13, 2014.
Gameplay
[edit]Similar to the actual rules of golf, the player must hit a golf ball into a hole in the fewest number of attempts possible. In Golfinity, each golf course is procedurally generated, and the golf ball is controlled through a drag-and-release mechanic that can affect its velocity or trajectory.[1]
Release
[edit]Golfinity was developed and published by NimbleBit, an American indie studio who previously released Tiny Tower (2011) and Pocket Planes (2012).[1] Golfinity was released for iOS devices on November 13, 2014,[2][3] after its announcement a month prior.[4]
