Our take on Hole in the Clouds
The continuous-shot format gives the game momentum, but sacrifices the measured pacing of conventional minigolf. Ball control must happen while it is still in motion, leaving less time to assess each position before committing to another shot.
What is Hole in the Clouds?
Hole in the Clouds combines minigolf with physics puzzles and platforming.
Each hole requires all clouds to be popped before the ball can reach the hole. Shots are controlled by adjusting power and direction, but the ball keeps moving after each hit, so the next shot must be lined up before it leaves the course. Obstacles and abilities shape the route: shields protect the ball from cannon fire, wind gusts lift it, and vines provide swinging paths. The game focuses on continuous shot-making rather than waiting for the ball to stop between attempts.
