ACCESSIBILITY
Accessible mini golf
PUTTLE is a free accessible mini golf puzzle. You can putt with a keyboard, turn down motion, hear play events in a screen-reader live region, and read the scorecard by shape as well as color. The park is still a visual canvas. Play at puttle.golf. No account, no chat.
Keyboard putting
Touch and mouse still work. The slingshot is the same pull. This map is for a keyboard in play.
- Press ← or → to aim. Hold Shift for fine aim.
- Press ↑ or ↓, or + or −, to set power.
- Press 1, 2, or 3 to snap SOFT · MED · HARD.
- Press Space or Enter to putt.
- Press U or Z to undo the last putt.
- Press V to peek at the whole hole. Press C to open the scorecard.
- Press R in Practice to restart this hole from the tee.
- Press Escape to close How to, Stats, Board, Locker, or Results. Escape does not close the title.
The full slingshot lesson, including drag-back aiming, lives on How to play. This page is the keyboard and motion map, not that lesson.
Reduced motion
If your system sets prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, PUTTLE sets reduced motion for the round. You get fewer particles. The extra ghost-gallery hold after a hole-out is skipped. CRT scanlines on the board drop. CSS animations run at about zero duration. The title screen still works. Physics and par do not change.
Screen readers and dialogs
The course canvas is #game with role="img" and a long aria-label that names the slingshot and the keyboard. #srStatus is a visually hidden aria-live="polite" region. Play events are announced there, including power snaps.
How to, Stats, Board, Locker, and Results are role="dialog" panels with aria-modal and a label. Focus moves into the open panel. Interactive controls use a gold :focus-visible outline.
Scorecard shapes
The results glyph row pairs color with a shape so hue is not the only channel. Under par is ▾. Over par is ▴. An ace is ★. Even par is —.
Honest limits
PUTTLE is a pixel-art park you still have to see. Rails, water, and the cup are drawn on a canvas. There is no chat and no account. Family sessions without a lobby are a different page: kids and families. Stroke math is unchanged: PUTTLE scoring.
