About Zolf
Zolf is a pixel art golf game crossed with a puzzle platformer. On the way to an intergalactic Zolf tournament, your spaceship crash-lands on an alien planet, and you and a little buddy have to get past spikes and switches, patch up the ship and still make it to the big event.
Swinging is the core move. The same button swings your club or fires a cannon, you can switch control between yourself and your buddy, and you can wall jump to reach higher ledges. Getting through each area is part platforming and part lining up the right shot.
It's a game jam entry with big, chunky pixels, a dark cave palette and bright green and pink details. You can play Zolf online with a keyboard, a controller or the mouse buttons, though the keyboard is the recommended way.
How to Play Zolf
- Click inside the game window and use the keyboard, which is the recommended setup; the game shows its own prompts, and a controller works too.
- Left-click to swing your club or fire the cannon.
- Right-click to switch between you and your buddy.
- Middle-click to change the zoom level and see more of the area.
- Press down to cancel a swing you have started and do not like.
- Wall jump to climb, and work past spikes and switches on the way to fixing the ship.
What to Expect in Zolf
Expect a cute, compact golf game with platforming puzzles in every screen. Shots need careful aim, and the spikes and switches turn each area into a small problem about where your swing should send things next.
The story is a light sci-fi setup that opens somewhere in deep space and keeps the focus on play. It's short, it's charming, and you can try Zolf free in this tab without any setup.
Tips for Zolf
- If a swing looks wrong, press down to cancel it instead of taking a bad shot.
- Use the zoom toggle to look ahead before you commit to a swing.
- Switching characters is part of the puzzle, so when you're stuck, try the problem from your buddy's side.
- Wall jump to reach ledges that a swing alone will not get you to.
- Stick with the keyboard if you can, since the game is designed around it.

What is the goal in Zolf?

Who made Zolf?
Zolf was made by Ismael Rodriguez, 1984pxls and Dan Medeiros, who built it in Unity for LowRezJam 2022 and released it on itch.io. FunClicker embeds the creators' own version so you can play it in your browser without downloading anything.
Can I play Zolf on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works well, since Zolf runs in a normal browser tab and plays on the keyboard, with the mouse as an option. Phones are a poor fit, because the game expects keys or mouse buttons. A laptop, a desktop or a controller gives the best results.
Is Zolf unblocked at school?
Zolf needs only a browser tab, with no download or install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads for you, it plays the same as anywhere else.
Can I play Zolf with a mouse or controller?
Yes. The keyboard is recommended, but a controller works, and the mouse buttons can handle the main actions: left-click to swing or shoot the cannon, right-click to swap characters and middle-click to zoom. Pick whichever setup feels most comfortable for aiming.
Is Zolf a real golf game?
It's a golf game in spirit. Your swing is the main way you interact with the world, but instead of holes on a fairway, you face platforming puzzles with spikes, switches and walls to climb. Think of it as golf mixed with a puzzle platformer on an alien planet.
