Disaster Golf was the capstone project from the Bradley University Game Design class of 2022 and was continued by a core group of student’s post-graduation, who have formed the brand-new Hippo Havoc development team.

Disaster Golf is a fast paced “mini” golf game where players use different disasters to move the ball. The Disaster differs widely, you can throw a Meteor to blast the golf ball across the screen or use wind as a putter to gently tap the ball into the hole.

The Par system works a little differently in Disaster Golf. Instead of strokes, Disaster Golf measures par by your time and even includes an online leaderboard to track everyone’s times. This means that you can compete for World Records on each individual level. Good luck though because the competition will be fierce.
Disaster Golf will be available on Steam on Tuesday, January 23rd for just $1.99 USD. Make sure that you Wishlist the game today!

 
Disaster Golf Gameplay Features:
 
Fast-paced golf! - No need to wait for your ball to stop moving - hit it again as soon as you can. Disaster Golf is all about speed and getting the ball into the hole as fast as possible using any means available. Combine your natural disasters to get the fastest time!

Replay any level in its challenge mode using carefully selected, preset disasters to bring about a unique way of playing.
