“A very odd, easily played, and definitely interesting project, it’s a decent amount of fun, and aurally it shines”
Rock Paper Shotgun

“Cheap Golf is a far smarter game than its simplicity and retro style make it look...thanks to the amazing instructive power of endlessly creative minigolf courses”
4/5 – Hardcore Gamer

“Cheap Golf is a Low-Budget, Modern Day Portal... The development and triumph of artificial intelligence over individual intellect reverberates throughout Cheap Golf, Pixeljam’s latest stroke of inter-textual brilliance.”

About This Game

Welcome to Cheap Golf, a surreal, low-res physics playground built by an intrusive, passive-aggressive AI named Susan. She has spent her cybernetic life constructing the ultimate abstract minigolf gauntlet, and now she requires a human test subject. That’s you. Don't let her down (she gets emotional).

Simple Input, Cosmic Physics

Cheap Golf strips the classic sport down to its absolute bare essentials, then injects it with psychedelic chaos.

  • Drag and Boop: Use a simple click-and-drag mechanic to launch your tiny digital ball (referred to as a "boop") across mind-bending maps.

  • Old-School Nostalgia: Bask in a retro, minimalist aesthetic that looks like a glitching 1980s computer monitor having a beautiful fever dream.

  • The "Just One More Flail" Loop: Experience high-speed, instant-respawn physics puzzles that reward experimentation, precision, and a high tolerance for Susan’s commentary.

Meet Susan

Susan, your omnipresent host, has been very busy attempting to keep you entertained. She didn't just build a course; she built an entire digital labyrinth designed to test the limits of your human patience and spatial awareness.

  • 140 Levels of Madness: Journey through 3 massive episodes packed with bizarre hazards, shifting architecture, moving platforms, and literal ball-killers.

  • Evolving Obstacles: Just when you think you’ve mastered the trajectory, the courses begin to morph, warp, and defy the traditional laws of geometry.

Susan will cheer you on, judge your terrible angles, and question your species' intelligence.

Pure Retro Counter-Culture

This is what golf wishes it could be if it stopped taking itself so seriously. Cheap Golf is a cozy, chaotic, and delightfully strange vacation for your brain.

The ball is waiting. Susan is watching. Will you survive Cheap Golf?
