Golf Peaks News

Hi everyone!

This maintenance update for Golf Peaks is mostly aimed at improving the main menu which felt like it needed some love after all these years.

We've fixed the layouting for non-16:9 aspect ratios so that things are kept nice and center instead of weirdly stretching out for widescreen displays:



That nice key artwork we unveiled last year during Golf Peaks' 5th birthday celebration also looked a bit flat in the main menu so we reformatted the way it appears to make the main menu pop a bit more.

• Improved main menu layout for aspect ratios other than 16:9,
  
• Improved main menu artwork display,
  
• Added a new section to the main menu with info about our other games,
  

Hope you keep enjoying Golf Peaks for years to come :)

Cheers,
Team at Afterburn

Hey everyone,

We've hit a milestone with Golf Peaks – over 500 overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam! A huge thanks to everyone who took a swing at our puzzles and shared their thoughts. It means a lot to us.



Seeing you all tackle the courses and enjoy the game is like watching a perfectly planned shot land. If you haven't had the chance to play yet, consider this your invitation to the tee.

Golf Peaks launched 5 years ago! We can hardly believe that it's been so long since we released our tiny golf puzzle game, which kickstarted our journey into crafting cozy puzzle games for everyone to enjoy. To celebrate this milestone, we've prepared a large maintenance update for Golf Peaks and discounts on all of our games!

The 5th anniversary of Golf Peaks sounded like the perfect opportunity to update the game's store visuals. To that end we've collaborated with an amazing Polish comic book artist - Tomasz Spell (https://kreskotok.blogspot.com/) - to create this brand-new illustration:
