Joon Shining is a challenging golf-like game with a fantasy twist, combining traditional golf & mini-golf with elements of puzzle platforming.

Harness ancient powers. Joon Shining is an enchanted golf-like platformer with a fantasy twist. Use magic to bend physics, influence the environment, and make impossible shots, as you puzzle your way through a strange & mythic multiverse.

You play as Joon - a young wizard travelling across the multiverse. As you advance through 8 unique worlds, learn to master your arcane powers to solve weird & mind-bending challenges. Harness your abilities to manipulate physics. Solve puzzles. Discover collectibles. And learn the secret of the Mage Drops…

Joon Shining is a challenging physics-based platformer, with a myriad of magical mechanics! Gameplay requires carefully honed skills and picking the right arcane approach is key.

Discover 8 unique worlds, including: a forest, an underwater oasis, machine world, a procedurally generated trickster world, and a mysterious cosmic void! Each environment has its own magical possibilities, secrets, and traps. Some can be used to your advantage, and some provide tricky hazards.

Shots can cling to jelly walls, bounce off bubbles, be propelled by explosions, and float on clouds. Giant flowers can suck shots in and spit them out. Living bushes can block the shots. Some puzzles even hide secret collectibles & lore tied to the game’s true ending. Explore and experiment to uncover the unique possibilities of each biome!
