Once you've unlocked some moving obstacles, you'll be able to earn the Freeze Course Modifier.

Unsurprisingly, this freezes ❄️ the course in place so you can take your time to line up shots.

For more aptly named course modifiers, grab Up to Par on sale now 👉 bit.ly/friendgolf

The one-way course modifier is subtle. Can you spot it?

It helps with bouncing through narrow spaces, beacuse your ball can't go backwards too far. For these tight spaces, it's a real life-saver.

Try it yourself with 20% off Up to Par 👉 bit.ly/friendgolf

Have you been playing the Weekly Challenge in Up to Par? This week is a tough one!

Here's a collection of lowlights from my attempt. If you think you can do better, Up to Par is 20% off in the Steam Summer Sale. bit.ly/friendgolf

One of the least subtle course modifiers in Up to Par is the springboard. If you don't like the layout of a hole, just ... skip over it.

Here's me avoiding an early end to my ocean run.

One of the new course modifiers in Up to Par makes the hole bigger, and hole-in-ones so much easier! It's not cheating if it's by design, right?

The shortcut is an excellent addition to your course in Up to Par, unless you do the same thing I did and shortcut yourself back to the start 😱

Have you been playing with the new course modifiers in Up to Par? Which is your favourite?

I'm all about the future pay-off, so the double reward modifier is my go-to. 🌟 ⌛

Have you tried this week's challenge in Up to Par yet? 🏆

I've been having a fun time with the second wind upgrade combined with the gimmie. There's plenty of room for mistakes, but when it works, it's so satisfying.

Here's an in-game screenshot of a new little model I made last week. It's where you equip the course modifiers I'm working on for Up to Par.

Over the last fortnight I've been working on new course pieces for Up to Par - courses are procedurally generated, so adding even one or two new pieces can result in hundreds of interesting new layouts to play.

I finally implemented one of the most-requested multiplayer features for Up to Par - a shot timer that makes sure everyone keeps the game moving!

I had great fun playing the chip shot for this week's Up to Par Weekly Challenge - I find the forest course is especially good for these types of trick shot.

What tactics have you been using?

🎄 Merry Christmas 🌟

You can unlock the Santa Ball from the pro shop in Up to Par, and you'll find snow, a christmas tree, and festive hats in 39 Days to Mars.

Both games are also on sale - have yourselves co-operative holiday season here: https://buff.ly/40bYXkT
