Cursed to Golf and Human Resource Machine

A pair of funny little games.

Cursed to Golf


In this side scrolling, click timing type game you play a spirit who must play golf forever unless you can defeat the 18 holes of purgatory to return to life! Yes it is as silly as it sounds but the cute graphics and upbeat sound track will hook you in for longer than you plan to play it. A bit more instruction at the start on how to change clubs would be nice though (left-shift on keyboard), and also remember you can decide if you are swinging left or right as sometimes you want to intentionally go away from the hole to hit statues that give you more shots. Run out of shots? Then it is game over and you are cursed to golf once more.

Human Resource Machine


This small puzzle game actually teaches basic programming, as it is how you get your mail room worker to move things from the inbox to the outbox (and loop). The difficulty comes with the variety of sorting that happens as you advance in level - maybe you want only 0s, or items in a particular order, or the sum of items. Pretty cool but can fry your brain on higher levels. Well, maybe just mine since I'm not great at puzzle games either. :P
