I liked the formula of Joon, but I struggled to click with the game’s mechanics making this an experience I’m not sure is for me. The presentation and music put you in the calm state That Clicking Feeling Joon has it going on when it comes to puzzling and golfing, but things didn’t end up clicking with me as well as the game presented itself. Throughout the levels, you can also explore off the path to collect flying droplets, which, if successfully carried to the end of the level, will be banked and unlock future courses. Your ball also has a health bar hitting it into spikes will cause it to lose a heart, deplete all three, and it’s back to the start. The platforms you can activate are clearly indicated. Using the triggers on the controller will rotate platforms, spawn bushes to act as platforms or bounce off bubbles to shoot your ball off into unknown directions. The route to the nest is rarely linear or straightforward. Additionally, you have some control over elements in the environment, adding the more intricate puzzle aspects of the game. Once landed, the ball can even be rotated to help it travel a little further, which is very helpful to nudge it into the hole. The ball can be dropped mid-flight, allowing you to place it on a specific platform. Once you hit the ball, you get a little wiggle room to manoeuvre it further. Using the controller, you aim your ball with the analogue stick, giving you an idea of the ball’s trajectory. Swing away A Puzzling Game of GolfĬontrols are very simple. Probably one of the nicer 2D golf courses I have played on in video games. Explore forests vibrant with plant life, a machine world that looks more peaceful than most settings with robotics and even the cosmos itself. The graphics themselves add to the serene setting, with levels vibrant with detail set across eight worlds in the multiverse. The game’s soundtrack is incredibly chilled and relaxing and feels like something you would want in the background when you’re studying or just to put you in a calm state. It certainly makes for a pretty good idea for a video game. Turns out this concept feels pretty similar to mini-golf, placing many hazards in your way and platforms you need to navigate to make it to the nest. To achieve this, you need to hit the eggs, which present as a spiritual ball, into a nest (or hole), causing a kinda creepy dodo to hatch. Playing as a young sorcerer, you have been tasked with saving the dodo. This is a very different take on 2D golf and if you’re willing to stick with its challenge, you may discover an experience that’s quite unique and rewarding when you succeed. Recently ending its term in early access, Joon Shining is now ready for its full release. Joon Shining is a 2D golf game emphasising puzzle solving and relaxing gameplay.
