PixelJunk Goes Green with Yodelee Golf, an Open World Cooperative

Q-Games has unveiled Yodelee Golf, the latest entry in its PixelJunk series that combines golf, exploration, and cooperative mode in a cozy open world. The title will launch on PC via Steam, with other platforms yet to be confirmed. Attendees of BitSummit PUNCH, from May 22 to 24 in Kyoto, will be able to try it out and win prizes in a special minigolf event.

Open World and Ball Physics: How the New PixelJunk Works 🏌️

Yodelee Golf bets on a continuous course design with no loading screens, where multiple players can hit the ball at the same time. The physics engine simulates uneven terrain, dynamic wind, and natural obstacles. Q-Games has integrated tools to create and share custom courses, which expands replayability. The cooperative system allows players to collect items and unlock areas of the map while progressing through relaxed matches.

Finally, a game where missing a putt doesn't ruin your friendship 😅

Q-Games promises a cozy atmosphere, meaning you can send the ball into the lake ten times in a row without your partner deleting you from their friends list. However, if you decide to use competitive mode, get ready for them to remind you of that missed shot on hole 18 in future matches. At least the BitSummit prizes include some consolation: a minigolf course with carnival obstacles and exploding balloons.
