About the Game
Joon Shining is a golf-like platformer with a fantasy twist. Combining traditional golf & mini-golf with elements of puzzle platforming, it evolves the hit-and-wait formula of golf by adding *magic*!
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.
Influence shots mid-flight with magical abilities:
Burn away obstacles with fire
Use magic rings to gain the power of flight
Enchant airstreams and detonate ancient explosives to propel you across the level
& More!

Enchant environments to your advantage:
Grow plants into new platforms
Lure dangerous creatures away to clear a path forward


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. Living bushes can block the shots. Some puzzles even hide secret collectibles & lore tied to the games true ending.
Explore and experiment to uncover the unique possibilities of each biome!

20+ hours of gameplay
100+ levels
100 collectibles to discover - each a self-contained micro-puzzle
Challenging gameplay and a super-high skill ceiling for expert players going for a gold rank in every level
A unique contrasting of serene atmospheres against focused-precision gameplay
Incredible and unique soundtrack


Starry skies. Bright beautiful worlds. Lush forests. Underwater lagoons. Floating clouds. And relaxing music.
Perfect for when you need a cosy chill-out game, with hidden depths and challenge.

If you're up for a challenging new spin on a classic game, Joon Shining is the physics-based 2D-platforming golf-like game for you!
NerdLovesGeek

It really shines through, the idea of taking a very simple mechanic and getting as much fun out of that mechanic as possibleIts essentially like a golf gamethen they add to that brilliant effects and magicits easy to play difficult to master
Raccoon Media Cafe

Youre no longer just trying to make your ball land in the right spot to make your next shot easier, youre now trying to navigate a weird magical obstacle course. Even the way you control the ball is differentbecause youre a mage, you can stop or accelerate your ball mid-air, and you can magically control some of the obstacles, making the environment interactive. Joon Shining feels like a golf game, just not like any other golf game Ive ever played.
