Chipping Challenge is now in beta. I consider alpha -> beta to be a significant change for a project. It means that the core gameplay is hammered out and can be expanded upon and augmented. Work has begun on the iOS version, which will be available on the App Store. Depending on how well the controls work, I may attempt a tvOS version.

Beta Features 

• Single-screen golf levels with physics-driven ball movement
• Start with 5 swings, gain 3 swings per level cleared
• Other bonuses may increase your remaining swings
• Per-level wind variations
• 5 playfield styles including Green, Moon, Beach, and Sweater Weather with more to come

• Lush, relaxing, background music
• Thematic sound effects
