Can I play levels from past dates? What if I missed yesterday's Kinda Hard Golf?
<span class="faq-icon" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>+</span> </div> <div class="faq-answer" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>
No, Kinda Hard Golf uses a "one level per day" scarcity mechanism like Wordle. Each day has only one new level, and once it's gone, you can't play it again. This design creates anticipation, builds daily habits, and keeps the community synchronized.

Why is it called "Kinda Hard Golf"? Is it really that hard?
<span class="faq-icon" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>+</span> </div> <div class="faq-answer" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>
The name "Kinda Hard Golf" is strategically chosen - it's challenging but achievable. The game focuses on "productive failure" where every missed shot teaches you about physics, angles, and power. It's hard enough to be engaging but not frustrating enough to quit.
</div> </div> <div class="faq-item" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4> <div class="faq-question" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>
Will new obstacles be added? Like water hazards or sand traps?
<span class="faq-icon" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>+</span> </div> <div class="faq-answer" data-astro-cid-mh6t5pw4>
Yes! The developer is actively considering community suggestions for new obstacles including water hazards, sand traps, moving platforms, wind effects, and special target zones to increase game variety and challenge.

The game uses precise physics simulation. Key tips: use platform edges for unexpected bounces, prioritize short-distance precision over power, observe ball trajectory patterns, and stay patient - every failure provides valuable information for your next attempt.

Kinda Hard Golf was born from a love for simple yet deep games. We believe the best games 
                    don't need complex mechanics, but should create infinite possibilities within simple rules.
</p> <p data-astro-cid-zsov6f23>
Inspired by the Wordle phenomenon, we wanted to create a game that offers the same 
                    "daily ritual" experience. The physics golf concept allows us to keep the game 
                    simple and accessible while providing enough challenge and variation.
</p> <p data-astro-cid-zsov6f23>
Our mission is to create small but beautiful gaming moments for busy modern life, 
                    allowing everyone to gain satisfaction and achievement in brief gaming sessions.
