Simple to learn, kinda hard to master - The daily physics golf puzzle
"It's fun! But kinda hard" - The perfect description that gave the game its name
Kinda Hard Golf is a daily physics golf puzzle game created by James O'Halloran, the creative force behind Mighty Pebble Games. James describes it as one of those ideas that "glued me to the keyboard for a few weeks" - a passion project that captured his complete attention.
Built with PixiJS, the game emerged when early testers consistently reacted with "It's fun! But kinda hard" - and thus, the perfect name was born. The game presents a new challenge every day at midnight UTC - miss one and it's gone forever! This "one level per day" format, inspired by Wordle, creates anticipation, builds daily habits, and keeps the entire community synchronized.

With over 14 years of experience building developer tools, web applications, and video games, James brings technical expertise and creative passion to every project. He loves making games and "weird things on the internet."
As a self-proclaimed terrible golfer, James channeled his humorous frustration into creating a game that invites everyone to embrace the chaos of physics-based golf.
"I suck at golf, and I want everyone to experience that joy of sucking at golf with me. But in a fun way! The best indie games are built WITH the community, not just for them."
