Fairway

Fairway is a physics-driven mini-golf game. Each hole is a top-down green with walls, hazards, and gadgets between your ball and the cup. You aim with a slingshot: drag away from the ball to set direction and power, then release to putt. Sink the ball in as few strokes as possible across a three-hole round and beat par.

• Drag away from the ball to aim the opposite way; pull farther for more power, then release to shoot.
• Bank off the walls to reach tucked-away cups, and watch the dashed guide to judge your line.
• Sand stops the ball dead, bumpers kick it away, and portals teleport it across the green.
• Every round is three holes; your strokes versus par decide your score and leaderboard standing.

• Daily: one shared three-hole course for everyone that day.
• Practice: a random three-hole round at Casual, Standard, or Tricky difficulty.

• Desktop: click and drag back from the ball to aim and power, release to putt; use Restart hole to retee.
• Phone & tablet: touch and drag away from the ball, then lift your finger to shoot.

• Soft, accurate taps near the cup beat big swings, overshooting wastes strokes.
• Plan banks deliberately: aim at a wall so the rebound carries the ball toward the hole, and keep clear of sand.

Miniature golf is golf reduced to putting, and its defining furniture is artificial — tunnels, tubes, ramps, walls, and moving obstacles like the windmill.

This keeps all of that and adds a slingshot: you drag away from the ball to set direction and power rather than tapping a putter.

That control change is what makes it a physics game instead of a golf simulation. A real putt is a small, careful stroke; a drawn-back slingshot invites overpowered shots, which is exactly what the ramps and bumpers are there to punish.
