Golf Zero is a 2017 platformer golf video game developed by the Swedish studio Colin Games.
Gameplay
In Golf Zero, the player must avoid hazards, jumping across chasms. However, the player has to golf a ball into the hole at the end of the level to complete it (instead of making it to the end alive). Balloons are also present in some levels, which need to be popped with a golf ball to receive the Gold Medal. Some levels also need to be completed within a time limit to receive the Gold Medal. The player is given three shots to get one ball into the hole.{{cite web |last=Carter |first=Chris |date=2017-03-23 |title=Golf Zero Review – Jump and Shoot |url=https://toucharcade.com/2017/03/23/golf-zero-review/ |accessdate=2017-03-25 |website=TouchArcade}}
