Software:Golfinity
Golfinity is a 2014 golf game developed and published by the American indie studio NimbleBit. In Golfinity, the player must aim a golf ball into a hole in each procedurally generated golf course with as few shots as possible. Golfinity was released for iOS devices on November 13, 2014.
Gameplay
Similar to the actual rules of golf, the player must hit a golf ball into a hole in the fewest number of attempts possible. In Golfinity, each golf course is procedurally generated, and the golf ball is controlled through a drag-and-release mechanic that can affect its velocity or trajectory.[1]
