For update 1.6.1 we are bringing back our Halloween pumpkin hunt event from last year, we've also updated the two more recent level expansions to include the Pumpkins as well. Hunting 10 Pumpkins will unlock you three Halloween themed balls :)

Pumpkin Hunting 101

What do I have to do?

To hunt a pumpkin you simply need to hit them with your golf ball. There are 60 purple pumpkins in the game (one per level), but you only need to find 10 to unlock all the rewards. There is no reward for hunting the orange ones, but feel free to smash them to your hearts content.

What do I get from doing this?

The above three golf ball designs are unlocked from completing this event. Each feature color options and an accompanying faceplate. If you successfully hunted 10 pumpkins last year then this reward will remained unlocked.

How do I track my progress?

A progress bar and counter can be found on the main menu below a description of the event.

How long will it take me to complete this event?

This is not supposed to be a grind, and if playing as normal you'll probably complete it a couple of hours after playing a few different sessions. If were to do it solo in purely in practice mode you could probably do it in 10 to 15 minutes. Some levels will be harder than others to get the pumpkin, but theres enough of them that its just a bit of fun to enjoy the halloween theme rather than be an overall challenge.

Can I complete this in local play?

Yes :) If any local players hits a pumpkin it will count for the primary profile so you can enjoy sort-of a co-op activity while you hunt them down.

How long does the event last?

The event will conclude on November 14th giving you more than a couple of weeks to complete it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1914980/Golfing_In_Aether/

Can I play this event using the demo?

Yes - simply grab the demo from the store page and you play through this event with that. You can also join your friends who own the game in multiplayer while hunting for pumpkins. If you enjoy playing the game then you'll find it on sale for 70% off till the 8th November! Any demo progress will carry over to the regular game too when you purchase. The demo only comes with 18 levels (but you can join other players online sessions fine) and is locked to level 3 for regular progression.

Unique overall course layout for each session. Golfing In Aether accomplishes this through having each of the holes being its own independent floating island. The game will choose these at random from a pool at the start of a session and procedurally create the overall course layout.
Get-together with friends in sessions supporting up to 16 players online and 4 players locally. You can take any additional local players into online sessions with you. Online sessions also support joining as a spectator.
Freedom to choose different modes such as playing together in real time (local players use split screen) or taking it in turns via hotseat.
Compete against ghosts in practice mode for the top spot in an individual level with both global and friends only leaderboards.
Replay your previous sessions via the session replays feature. This allows you to spectate previous sessions you've played with options such as being able to see from another players perspective, use free camera, and the ability manipulate playback rate.
Customize through a range of color-pickable designs for your golf ball. Five designs are available from the start with others being unlocked as you earn XP through playing and level up.
Accessible with full gamepad support through the inclusion of an on-screen keyboard and ability to create local player profiles for saving any customizations, player names or gamepad settings.
