Jetpack Joyride Designer’s Surprise Golfing Sim Makes A Very Compelling Case For Miserable Controls

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Luke Muscat’s Normal Golf Game is a surreal golf sim built around deliberately awkward, unstable controls.
The preview shows multi-step inputs, weather effects, no overhead map, and strange targets that make every shot hard to master.
Its setup is intentionally absurd, with things like a huge tee fee, a towed car, and parking sign removal.
The game aims to turn golf into a tougher, more demanding indie challenge for fans of unusual simulation design.
