Quirky Asymmetrical VR Party Game: Fruit Golf

Sure thing, here it goes:

—

Okay, so here’s a thing I stumbled upon recently, kinda caught me off guard but in a fun way. It’s called Fruit Golf. Sounds like a healthy snack, right? But no, it’s this wacky VR game where you’re on the course swinging away, and your buddies on mobile? Yep, they’re trying their best to throw you off your game. Explosives and sharks, apparently. I know, right? Total chaos.

This game just popped up last week, in this whole early access phase on something called Quest. And I gotta say, it’s not your typical golfing gig like GOLF+ or that Mini Golf one. I mean, those are cool and all, but Fruit Golf’s got this laid-back, everyone-can-join kind of vibe. You take turns on the VR headset — kinda like passing the baton, only you’re passing the whole reality. Meanwhile, your pals are hurling challenges at you from their phones. Sounds like my kind of family feud.

Oh, and get this, your game avatar? It’s a piece of fruit. Yup. You can deck your fruity self out with all these wild costumes — unlockable stuff as you go. Fancy themed clubs too! There’s even a solo mode if you just want some ‘me time’ on the greens, but going head-to-head with pals sounds way more fun.

Now, the folks at Coal Car Studio aren’t just chilling after this release. Nah, they’ve got big plans. Every three weeks, bam! A new Cup drops, starting June 26. Fresh courses, funky obstacles – each one different. First stop? This place they’re calling “Château Vampoire.” Vampires in golf… go figure. That one tees off on July 17.

Early access is already a thing on Quest. And they’re teasing a Steam version headline: “coming soon.” Plus, there’s a freebie mobile app you can snag, whether you’re team Apple or Android. Because, let’s face it, throwing dynamites and sharks deserves an app of its own.

Hope this game is as wild as it sounds. Anyway — wait, was I talking about snacks?
