100ft Robot Golf

Players choose from a number of mechas to play through golf courses with. Each mecha has different abilities and gameplay mechanics for hitting the ball.^[1] As opposed to traditional golf, all players play at the same time, with the goal of getting their ball into the hole first.^[2] Players can demolish buildings,^[2][3] block opposing shots with their mecha, and attack other competitors. In-game commentators (Justin, Griffin, and Travis McElroy) spectate the players' actions.^[4]
