:scroll: DiscQualified

DiscQualified lets you play discgolf just as in real life, but without having to move from your computer!

With more-than-necessary-and-unreasonably-hyperrealistic disc aerodynamics it replicates the real life experience of thinking that you threw your disc perfectly and hitting that single tree in in the middle of an open field anyways.

Throughout the holes you will discscend deeper and deeper down the hills and in to the mines. We know, it's far-fetched, but we really wanted to make a discgolf game! Enjoy playing just as we did developing!

:mousethreebutton: Controls

The controls are complex yet simple: * WASD-QE to tilt, shift and rotate your disc. * Set your speed with SPACE. * Then it's time to throw, hit SPACE to release.

:bulb: Throwing with precision

  • When charging, hitting SPACE further back will yield a harder throw.
  • If releasing too early the disc will turn left, release too late and it will turn right.

:space_invader: Known Bugs

Be aware that the disc can sometimes vibrate a bit after landing and it might take a few seconds before you can throw again. If you don't want to wait you can reset the level and try again.

Very fun, managed to get a par score after a few tries. The feeling of having your disc hit a tree or a rock and kick away into the unknown was almost too realistic.

Apologies but i had a real hard time getting the disc to fly anywhere. I pressed space and it started moving back and forth which is what i expected and then pressed it again as it was moving forward but it went back into the speed animation. If i double press the space bar it just drops the disc to the floor. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong :( I think some more UI queues may help.

That aside the UI and game look very good :P

I'm also can't figure how to throw a disc. I only able to throw disc down.
