About this game

For centuries, philosophers and mathematicians have gazed up at the night sky and wondered:

"Is there Golf On Mars?"

The year is 2866. Mars is 35% terraformed, finally enough to allow the playing of the game of.. Golf!

Golf across an infinite* rocky Martian surface. Discover golfing obstacles that make us Earthlings gasp in awe!

---

*Infinity is impossible to represent on any non-quantum computer. In actuality there are roughly 25,770,000,000 golf holes in this game.

In 2020, NASA will launch the Perseverance rover to search for life and golf on Mars. The journey there will take 200 days,
If you were to play one hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds during that journey, you would only be able to complete 0.002% of the game (576000 holes).

If you were a paleolithic hunter-gatherer gazing up at the Red planet one night during your traversal of the ice bridge connecting Russia to Alaska
at the last glacial maximum 24515 years ago and a time traveler brought an iPhone for you and your tribe to ritually play a hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds,
it would take until the present day to complete all the holes.

But this is not a realistic simulation.

For example, if the ball is 16 pixels wide on your screen then the typical hole will be 1200 pixels away.
Scaling this to the size of a real ball (1.68 inches), it's as if the hole is only 3.5 yards away!

A realistic 18 hole golf course where the fairways are 3.5 yards away would only require about 1300 square feet of land.
However, gravity on Mars is 38% that of Earth's gravity, so you could hit a ball 7 times farther, or roughly 1400 yards for a good player.
This 18 hole course then needs to be to 64000 square feet. You could cover the entire surface of Mars with 241 billion of these golf courses.

Therefore, you could easily fit all the holes in Golf On Mars on the surface of Mars.

Mars is par 3, so aim to finish in under 77 billion strokes.

Great game, although the latest version seems to have introduced a bug where after playing for a few minutes, the entire game slows down significantly. This can be resolved temporarily by tabbing out of and back into the game, but quickly recurs. Also clouds don't render properly, appearing black, but turning white only while the screen scrolls. Edit: Slowdown bug seems to be fixed by upgrading from One UI 5 to One UI 6. Cloud colour bug remains.

I have been loving this game, definitely worth the price. Auto saves progress when you close it and uses little storage. Only wish Ithe game told more of it's controls. It shows how to spin the ball, but there are other things I don't think are mentioned. Like a menu button in the up right corner of the screen, it's invisible while play and appears after some idle seconds or clicking on it. You can also scroll the screen with two fingers, which you can reset the ball to the when it is offscreen.

Edit: +1 for the ability to spin the ball, when you hold to shot, you can use a second finger to rotate the circle thingy. -1 for the fact that I found that in a steam review. Review score still stands as is which is: Possibly the greatest game ever made. Infinite, You cannot lose you can only advance, requires skills which means you will get better over time, saves instantly even if you force close, opens instantly from where you left. The very first game where you just... PLAY.
