Imagine golf, but there's also gravity. It's Grolf! It's a sort of puzzle-platform-y golf game where you can change the direction of gravity (which counts as an extra stroke.) Controls: Arrows: Aim putter Z/Space: Charge up swing X: Swap between putting mode and gravity mode (Hold) C: Reset current hole Built with Godot. Music courtesy of Freesound Community. Font is Kemco Pixel by Jayvee D. Enaguas. Color palette is Summers Past 16 by Keidding. Art, coding, and design by me, Stephen Rubino.

Greetings from Friendship, Maine. "I'm Just So Busy These Days" is my first-ever GameMaker game built for the "Flat Game" project in Game Studio 1. It's a little postcard of what my summer was like and a tiny parable about attention. Thanks for playing! Special thanks: Basil Lim, Ramiro Corbetta, and Christine Mi Jane and Jim Nyce Sounds courtesy of blaukreuz on Freesounds.org
