About Fire in the Hole

With the upcoming merger approaching, play as one of four animal company leaders looking to dominate the competition through an intense game of golf. But for stakes so high, they've agreed to mix things up a little. And thus, the hunt is on!Fire in the Hole is a top-down twin-stick shooter featuring four animals all duking it out on the golf course. It is a local PVP and controllers are recommended (although one player can use Mouse and Keyboard) and the game is intended for 2-4 players. Shoot down competition to prevent them from scoring their golf balls into holes! The player with the highest score wins the match! But we didn't leave out rewards for the losers. Every player, even losers, can earn themselves accolades; from getting the most golf ball KOs to missing the most golf ball holes, there's bound to be something for everyone on the course.While Fire in the Hole can be played with one player on a mouse and keyboard, we fully recommend players to use a controller in order to best experience the game! The game teaches the player how to play before entering combat, but we've provided a manual as well that outlines both controller and keyboard controls, as well as potential upgrades and dangers you may encounter on the golf course.Fire in the Hole offers:
  • 5 Unique Gun-Clubs!
  • 5 Different Golf Balls!
  • 4 Specialized Power-Ups!
  • And 4 Arenas each with their Own Hazards!
We don't teach you everything though. Experimental players might be rewarded with a fun discovery!This game is being developed for our 2025 Capstone Project in the Honours Bachelor of Game Design Program at Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Fire in the Hole was made by 6 game designers and 1 composer over 28 weeks of development!

Fire in the Hole is a ridiculous little multiplayer game, and I had a lot of fun with how completely it commits to the idea. It mixes golf with top down twin stick shooting, putting me on a course where I have to shoot the other players while also trying to get my golf ball into the hole. I liked how quickly the peaceful idea of golf turns into complete chaos. The main gameplay is built around fighting for points while controlling my golf ball and trying to stop the other players from scoring. I can use different gun clubs, golf balls and power ups, so there is more to think about than simply aiming at whoever is closest. I enjoyed the tension of deciding whether to focus on attacking someone or trying to score myself. The local multiplayer is easily the strongest part. The game is designed around playing with other people on the same screen, and that makes every match feel unpredictable. I liked how a player who looks like they are winning can suddenly get knocked out or miss an important shot. The hazards around the courses also make the arenas feel more active instead of just being empty spaces to drive around. The animal characters add a lot of charm too. The whole thing has…
