We are a small team of 8 within a big company, making games and other off-the-beaten-path experiences. Our goal with games in general is to give our users (and anyone else, really) a chance to take a break from their daily grind, if only for a few minutes.
For this game, we wanted to pay homage to CandyStand Mini-Golf and other computer lab time-sinks from the early days of the internet. We did a few test prototypes with the dumpling from our fictitious brand "Corner Dumplings", and the concept immediately stuck. The dumplings just looked so happy rolling around the green spaces, dodging inflatable ducks and other treacherous obstacles. After our prototyping, we put together ~20 or so holes, and finally winnowed them down to the 9 you see today. We hope you enjoy!
