Curve Games Announces Golf Gang, Fast-paced, Precision Racer Party Game From Lazy Monday Games
Monday 14 March - Curve Games is delighted to announce it is working with the developers from Lazy Monday Games on the fast-paced, precision racer party game Golf Gang. Launching on PC in May 22, check out the brand new trailer here: https://youtu.be/36C9bYbejOQ
In this compelling blend between golf and racing game genres, players must balance speed with accuracy and hit the ball whilst it's moving in a frantic scramble to be the first to reach the finish using the fewest shots.
Up to eight players can challenge each other online in this hugely competitive yet hilariously social experience complete with vibrant visuals. Perfect for casual games as it is so easy to pick up and play, Golf Gang is also incredibly difficult to master thanks to a high skill ceiling, amusingly ruthless environments, and a wide array of modifiers for creating ultimate mayhem.
From the publisher that brought you best-selling title Human Fall Flat, Golf Gang will also launch with a Steam workshop meaning huge potential for unique user-generated content.
Golf Gang’s next playtest runs for a week from today and players wishing to partake must head to Golf Gang’s Steam page, scroll down to “Join the Golf Gang playtest”, register interest, then click the “Request Access” button. Once players receive their confirmation email they simply need to download and play the “Golf Gang Playtest” app from their Steam library.
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Lazy Monday Games was founded by brothers Andrew and Mitchell Baxter in 2015. The two-man team initially released Reveal the Deep between high school and university in 2015, which sold 150,000 copies, before launching Final Directive in 2018. Golf Gang is their first title since moving into developing games full-time.
“Golf Gang isn’t your typical golf game: it’s a golf-racer where the fewest shots and quickest to pin wins,” says Andrew & Mitchell Baxter, Lazy Monday Games. “We guarantee it’s not like any game of mini-golf you’ve ever played before and we can’t wait to see the kind of antics the community gets up to.”
“Lazy Monday Games is a young and imaginative two-man team that has achieved so much in such a short amount of time,” explains Gary Rowe, Chief Content Officer at Curve Games. “Golf Gang is inspired: the way it straddles genres to create a refreshing multiplayer experience that can be enjoyed both casually or competitively is the reason we firmly believe that it is a strong contender for this year’s must-play party game.”
Curve Games will be making an appearance at W.A.S.D. at Tobacco Docks in London 7-9 April where Golf Gang will be available for attendees to play.

About Lazy Monday
Lazy Monday Games is a studio of two brothers, started in 2015. Playing and discussing games since early childhood established a shared concept of fun, settled in a foundation of total trust and (sometimes brutal) honesty. That relationship and shared vision means much of the process becomes unstated agreement, leaving time and energy for deeper, tougher design choices - vital in such a small team.
