Experience the thrill of the perfect tee shot with Golf Orbit! This simple yet challenging golf game tests your timing and skills as you aim to send the ball as far as possible. With intuitive controls and stunning graphics, you'll feel like you're really on the green. In each level, you'll use your golf club to drive the ball towards the hole. The angle and strength of your shot is determined by tapping the moving arrow when it reaches the optimal position (indicated in green). But beware — it's not as easy as it sounds. You'll need to hit the ball at just the right moment, or your shot will be a fail.

Pixel Pro Golf is a wonderfully unique arcade golf game, that combines realistic physics with zen-like gameplay and beautiful pixel-art. It can be played online, in global tournaments, over iMessage, or as a single player experience. SINGLE PLAYER Play through over 50 gorgeously pixelated courses, each carefully crafted with a unique style and conditions, as you try to become the best of the best. Use the simple controls to aim, change club and swing. Then watch your ball head down stunning pixel fairways. Play well to earn ranking points and rise up the world rankings, unlocking different tours until you reach the Majors and hit the top spot.  Finish a tournament high enough to earn winnings, that you can use to upgrade everything from your driver to putter. Alternatively, use your winnings to customise your character with some awesome clothes, from panda hats to cool new Ts. Challenge friends over Game Center, with achievements and leaderboards for all the courses. TOURNAMENT EVENTS Every day offers new daily tournaments - each played on a different course - with only one attempt at each! When you are done, you can see where you rank against real-world players in the global leaderboard. Daily tournaments are grouped into Seasons, comprising 20 daily events. Hit the top 500 in a daily tournament to earn points, which add up over the season. At the end, the player with the most points is crowned champion. Similar to real life, Pixel Pro Golf's Major series like The Maestros or American Open are multi-day events, with scores aggregated over 4 days. Winning one of these is now the ultimate badge of honour in Pixel Pro Golf. Tournaments are in two leagues, Open and Handicap. In Open, your basic, unedited, score is what counts. In Handicap, as it can be in real golf, your score is handicapped - with less accomplished players given extra shots, so whoever plays well within their own skill level rises to the top! ONLINE MULTIPLAYER Using Game Center, challenge up to 4 online opponents to a realtime game. Choose from randomly selected 3 or 9 hole courses, or select a specific course to play. Invite friends to play via Game Center, or let the matchmaker choose some random players for you, and soon you will be testing your skills against real online opponents. iMESSAGE Play a turn-based match against friends, via the Messages app. Matches can have up to 4 players, and can be played hole-by-hole or shot-by-shot. During a match, players post individual messages for each hole or shot they play. This allows friends in the chat to comment on good, or bad, shots and highlights as the match progresses. Can you become the number one Pixel Pro Golfer? FEATURES: Over 50 unique courses Over 800 holes Single player Realtime online multiplayer iMessage play Global daily tournaments - open and handicap Global tournament seasons Video replays Addictive, fun gameplay Beautiful pixel-art Equipment upgrades Character customisation Quick play Relaxing audio Game Centre leaderboards, achievements and challenges
