[p]Hey Golfers! 👋[/p][p]This update is a little late, but it’s worth it – Binary Golf is heading back to the CST Factory, the same factory from the prologue, now bigger, stranger, and full of surprises.[/p][h2]🎈 New Abilities[/h2]

• [p]Laser Ability – Fire a precise beam that ricochets off bumpers, taking targets and pressing buttons on its way.
  [/p]
• [p]Wheel Ability – First seen in Episode 4, now expanded: roll faster, climb and slide walls, and even dash through water.
  [/p]

[h2]⚙️ Factory Obstacles[/h2][p]Episode 6 is our most ambitious – designed to feel like a living Rube Goldberg machine. Expect gadgets, puzzles, and cause-and-effect mayhem:[/p]

• [p]Electric Switch – Toggle obstacles like light poles, flippers, and gears… but only if you connect them with pipes in the level editor.
  [/p]
• [p]Platforms – Ride platforms while still playing golf! They handle like platformer physics, and you can design custom patterns in the editor.
  [/p]
• [p]Gears – Pick them up, place them down, and link them together to trigger chain reactions.[/p][p][/p]

[p] [/p][h2]Boss Fight[/h2][p]The story at this point takes a sharp turn – Batal is pulled into a warped factory dimension, where he faces G1M-BL.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll fight this boss three times during this episode. This boss prepares puzzles WHILE you’re fighting him, so be quick to finish them.[/p][h2][/h2][p]Because of the recurring boss, the path through Episode 6 isn’t linear. Instead of Hole 1 → Hole 2 → Hole 3, you’ll be thrown into a wild sequence – like Hole 1 → Hole 2 → Hole 7 → Hole 13 → back to Hole 3 and so on.[/p][p][/p][h2]Play the Demo Today[/h2][p]Episode 6 is still in development, but you don’t need to wait:

[h3]Episodes 4 & 5 – Into the Weird and the Fiery[/h3]

Hey everyone! Here’s your monthly peek into Binary Golf's development. It’s been a productive month as we push forward with the main story, focusing on Episodes 4 and 5.

[h3]🌋 Episode 4 – "The Volcano Trip"[/h3]
This episode introduces two major gameplay features:

🌀 Wheel Ability – Roll at an increasing speed, climbing and sliding through walls.
🚁 Helicopter Ability – Temporarily fly through the air, opening up new paths and helping you recover from tricky angles.



In this episode, Batal travels with his uncle and two kids to a massive volcano for a field trip.
The episode blends light-hearted exploration with early hints of danger as the environment grows more unstable the deeper you go.



Episode 4 serves as both a transition and a test: players are getting more tools, but they’ll need to start thinking creatively to use them well.

[h3]🐉 Episode 5 – The Robotic Dragons[/h3]

Episode 5 dives into Batal’s imagination — or maybe something more real?



This episode is a chaotic, cinematic, and skill-testing ride — the kind of level I’ve been dreaming about building.
Think Donkey Kong Country — but with golf balls. These barrels launch your ball in preset arcs across hazards and lava pits. You can aim some of them, while others fire automatically, leading to fast-paced chain reactions in mid-air.


Inside the volcano lies a hidden facility where three mechanical dragons are waiting. Each one represents a different elemental power:

🔥 Fire Dragon – Hurls fireballs and sets parts of the arena ablaze.
❄️ Ice Dragon – Freezes zones and makes your ball slide uncontrollably.
⚡ Lightning Dragon – Unleashes shockwaves and distorts your shot curves with electromagnetic bursts.

The boss arena plays like a mini bullet-hell golf encounter. You’ll need sharp reflexes, creative shots, and a bit of luck to make it through.


[h3]⛳ What’s Next?[/h3]
Coming in June:

• Finish Episode 5’s boss mechanics and polish the fight.
  
• Begin planning Episode 6.
  

Your support means a lot, especially as things get more ambitious!
