Well, I beat Desert Golfing. (Spoilers!)
- Thread starter transience
- Start date
I have a feeling VERY few people have ever seen this screen, given the amount of dedication you'd need to get there. We're probably talking thousands of hours all told. Congrats on beating a seemingly unbeatable game.
I can second this. I've been doing them daily for almost a year and still enjoy doing them.
Oh wow, I always wondered if there was an end. Got to around hole 11,000 before I got a new phone and lost my progress.

Heh, my phone has a small crack in the screen (nothing major, but I use the dark theme so it's less noticeable here), and I briefly considered getting it fixed vs. getting a new phone.. and I won't lie, Desert Golfing was a contributing factor to keeping the phone.

Also, did you guys know that Desert Golfing came out on Steam last month?

Well done man, i always wondered if there was an end to that thing, was around hole 14000 when my phone got stolen, i was more mad of my lost progress in desert golf than i was over the loss of my phone, i had intended to reach the end but i just could not bring my self to start over again.
Desert golf is weirdly good, better than it had any right to be, it was in my top 10 favorite games of 2014.

Oh man, fuck that. Let's you and me start over and race to the finish line. Okay, "race" is maybe not the right word. But we need to get you to the promised land after getting that far.
edit: we'll create the Desert Golfing Community OT while we're at it!
I end up doing around 2 a day and have been for around 2 and half years now. Wednesdays and on still take me a substantial amount of time and I'm really lucky if I actually finish a Friday and Saturday.
If you do the nyt you can come join us in the crossword ot I made ( https://www.resetera.com/threads/cr...u-have-adzes-ukes-and-epees-in-the-ural.9583/ ) *shameless plug*. I usually forget to post about that days in it but mostly because I don't want to double post :o
Hahahaha, it sure is tempting to start over, that game was my favorite time waster for years, i had a long commute at the time and that game was great at making tedium disappear.

Here's some more shots that I took along the way. This one really scared me but I got it pretty quickly.
This one just cracked me up.
This one is actually impossible. I was stuck here for about 2 years until a recent update patched out impossible holes.
And here's a nice round number.

Yeah, I think OPs game might have just glitched out. I'm pretty sure there are people who got on levels higher than he did (I mean, more people than just you)

Those could be really bad sometimes, i remember getting three of that type in a row, i was so mad.

Congrats! I got to about 1900 before the game gave me a hole that I could not beat. Me and my friends must have put in 1000s of attempts in trying to beat it, but we were convinced it was impossible. It started high and had a long descent towards the hole at the bottom with no wall on the right side to bounce off of.
Still perhaps the greatest game of all time despite that.

Yo, I just re-downloaded this after years of having it deleted (because I was Desert Golfing too damn much) and now I want to play this shit forever.
party pooper but yr not the first. but, i still want to interview you.
i got pretty far - into the all flat before the patch. hardest hole was the one where i had to bounce it off something offscreen and avoid a pool of water

I just started to play it again after a one year absence, it feels good to be back man.

This is unexpected! Though, I updated at 14k and finished in the 21k range. So maybe this isn't right? Why am I questioning the developer?
This is pretty fucking cool.
I could have sworn someone I knew who played this obsessively had a higher level count than this, though. I also thought the levels were randomly generated, so I guess I just don't know much about Desert Golf.

So I checked up on some game recommendations in this thread.
I watched some videos of Battle of Polytopia and it didn't look like the kind of idle-y game that I'd want to play on a phone. I could be wrong though.
I picked up Flipflop solitaire. I'm a fan of Zach Gage's Really Bad Chess. Flipflop solitaire is fun - I used to be a huge Freecell nerd in the WIndows 95/98 era - but this thing inexplicably killed my phone battery. It dropped like 15% in 10 minutes. I'll probably pass on this one.
Crosswords - I didn't download it or anything but I've always been terrible at Crosswords. I'd sooner get a word search app with a bazillion solutions, I think.
Haven't checked the rest out yet. Little card games and word games are good fun time wasters but I miss the progression of aiming towards something that Desert Golfing offered.
edit: oh, and I probably need to check out Freeways, Justin Smith's newest game.

Awesome, congrats! Love the ending shot.
Maybe the developer will patch in some new game+ for you.

First post with my new tag. :) I honestly didn't expect this thread to get more than 10-20 posts.
After reading this thread yesterday, I ended up buying desert golfing. Can't wait to finally try it out.
I bought it after reading this thread, too.
Help. I think I'm addicted...

awwww yeah. you're like 4% of the way there!
I'm curious. Is there still Game Center integration? Is that even a thing anymore? This game had one kind of mindblowing feature but it's been so long since I got there that I'm not even sure if it works anymore.
