The swing: tap the glowing button three times: start, set power, strike at the line. Dead center is a PURE strike — zero error, and it counts toward that club’s mastery stars in the bag.
Swing modes: the Swing chip under ⋯ cycles Meter → Motion (swing the phone) → Swipe.
Aim: drag anywhere on the course. Double-tap the top of the screen to scout down the fairway; double-tap again to drop.
The bag: tap the club chip. Pick any club, and drag the dot on the ball to set a strike point — high for launch, low for a driving flight with run, left and right for draw and fade. It resets to a standard swing after every shot.
Yardage book: tap the minimap. Drag the reticle for distance, lie, elevation and wind; Aim at the mark takes the line and the right club. Booth’s read runs the real wind and slopes and hands you club plus line — on the green he reads the break.
After-touch: while the ball flies, drag across the screen to bend it. The bar shows the budget.
Two courses: Caldera Prime by day and THE UNDERGLOW, the night side, where fireflies drift, the Lantern Keeper walks, and the sky sometimes falls. Records are kept per venue.
Ways to play: the featured daily (alternates venues nightly) · THE MOONS TOUR, a four-event season for the crown · DUELS, nine holes of match play against a rival who walks the course with you · Skins for two · hotseat parties up to four.
Practice: Chip & Toe against the machine, the driving range, and the PUTTING GREEN: nine cups on tilted glass, best run remembered.
The Legend: a full sword-and-meadow campaign behind the green door. Beat it once and NIGHTFALL opens: more of everything, shields everywhere, and a much angrier King.
Pro Shop: style points are money. Legendary clubs, a rack of balls with real perks, trails, one-shot boosts, and a 500★ rewind when the lava eats your ball.
The course fights back: geysers on their own clocks, ash storms that double the wind, rifts that pay 200 yards, eruptions and moonfalls, tornadoes worth riding, and a wyrm under the melt.
Comfort: under ⋯ live fullscreen, battery saver, the radio, haptics, CALM mode (no flashes, gentle shakes), BIG TEXT, a 📸 snapshot camera, and instant replay of your last swing. Controllers work: A swings, stick aims, bumpers change club. Your whole career backs up to one code from the Career card.
Secrets: the scenery is not just scenery. Tap things: the sky, the flag, your own ball. Wish on what falls. Wake what drifts. Turn around on the 10th. And off the edge of a lucky few holes, a green floats alone in the black. It only counts if you putt it.
