Description
Joon Shining is a golf-like platformer with a fantasy twist. Combining
traditional golf & mini-golf with elements of puzzle platforming, it evolves
the hit-and-wait formula of golf by adding magic!
You play as Joon - a young wizard travelling across the multiverse. As you
advance through 8 unique worlds, learn to master your arcane powers to solve
weird & mind-bending challenges.
Harness your abilities to manipulate physics. Solve puzzles. Discover
collectibles. And learn the secret of the Mage Drops…
Joon Shining is a challenging physics-based platformer, with a myriad of
magical mechanics! Gameplay requires carefully honed skills and picking the
right arcane approach is key.
Influence shots mid-flight with magical abilities:
🔥 Burn away obstacles with fire
✨ Use magic rings to gain the power of flight
🔮 Enchant airstreams and detonate ancient explosives to propel you across the
level
& More!
Enchant environments to your advantage:
🌲 Grow plants into new platforms
🗻 Lure dangerous creatures away to clear a path forward

world, a procedurally generated trickster world, and a mysterious cosmic void!
Each environment has its own magical possibilities, secrets, and traps. Some
can be used to your advantage, and some provide tricky hazards.
Shots can cling to jelly walls, bounce off bubbles, be propelled by

REVIEWS
"It looks pretty majestic...It’s hard to imagine a golf game looking this
beautiful but Joon Shining is going to challenge everything I thought was
true"

Shining”
–Ready Set Indie Games
“If you're up for a challenging new spin on a classic game, Joon Shining is
the physics-based 2D-platforming golf-like game for you!”
–NerdLovesGeek
“It really shines through, the idea of taking a very simple mechanic and
getting as much fun out of that mechanic as possible…It’s essentially like a
golf game…then they add to that brilliant effects and magic…it’s easy to play
difficult to master”
–Raccoon Media Cafe
“You’re no longer just trying to make your ball land in the right spot to make
your next shot easier, you’re now trying to navigate a weird magical obstacle
course. Even the way you control the ball is different…because you’re a mage,
you can stop or accelerate your ball mid-air, and you can magically control
some of the obstacles, making the environment interactive. Joon Shining feels
like a golf game, just not like any other golf game I’ve ever played.”
–CSHPicone, Steam Curator
