π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the tea π β Neverputt is built on the physics and graphics of Neverball, and it's a hot-seat multi-player miniature golf game for 1 to 4 players. yes, hot-seat, meaning you and your besties pass the keyboard around like it's a sleepover and nobody's mad about it π«Ά
And the courses?? oh my god. they take full advantage of all the elements that challenge Neverball players, including:
- moving platforms and barriers
- teleporters
- ramps
- drop-offs
plus they added a simple putting interface and a golf scoring system on top of all that. it's giving glow-up. it's giving mini golf but make it physics. β³π₯
