Awesome game!
Really simple, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/5I8aoDLW98E), if you’d like to take a look :)
Digging it! Nice and to the point.
Really great game! I enjoyed it so much! Reminds me of colour switch. Here is my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/fixville
Kind of reminds of mini-golf, but with more black holes. The music set the mood quite nicely.
I think this games greatest strength is Fun. I really thing the progressive levels of difficulty make this game fun. Nice job!
Nice and simple :)
I second @toonteamj in that it feels a lot like mini-golf. Nice music :)
This is a clever take on the astroid (or planet x!) crashing into earth scenario. Except it's the sun! This is a fun unique puzzle game.
Really cool, the black holes really add a challenge. nice job!
Nice game! Liked the challenge of the black holes a lot. This was kinda minigolf with a planet :)
This is one fun variation on minigolf. The black holes had a bit unpredictable gravitational pull though.
A great concept. It took me a couple of goes to realize that I could change the strength of the throw. I liked the way the gravity on the black holes worked and there was a good variety to the levels, though it might have been nice if there was gravity on other objects as well. The music is really good and sets a nice frantic tone to the game.
Very interesting gameplay. The black holes made for a nice challenge. Especially since I hadn't figured out I could change the strength at the start...
Yay, space golf. :P On that note though, I did find the massive amounts of friction being applied after each swing to be a bit over the top (especially as you would expect something closer to zero friction in space!).
Other than that though, it was good fun. Wasn't 100% on the music, but it certainly didn't detract from the experience. The art palette was a little bit dull (colour-wise) which I thought was an odd choice given that you were working with stars, but it certainly wasn't bad.
Overall, good job, keep making games!

I quite enjoyed the game, and the fact that it's in a web player, is great!But overall, it's enjoyable, fun to play, and pretty great for a Ludum Dare game.
Very nice! Good job, maybe the satellite (or what you are) lasts for a little longer to stop and let you move again but I have really enjoyed it. Very good job.
I don't have much to say about this, except that it's good fun. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the level restarted faster after the planet leaves the window.
What a fine little mini golf you got goin' on here. It was pleasant through and through! The music added to the experience, which isn't common with most LD entries :) I bet you had 100 more ideas for crazy planet behaviors, worm holes, aliens, etc, but you did good getting in quality mechanics that you polished up a little too. Excellent work, be proud.
Very fun game! Like mini-golf in space! love it - black holes were annoying but added a great obstacle. Great level of difficulty progression too. Great work! :smile:

Nice interstellar golf!
Great Game! Like a mini-golf with planet physics. Nice amount of levels created in a weekend. Really enjoyed this entry.
Golf with planets. Sure, why the heck not.
At first sight, I was expecting the other planets to have their own gravitational pulls and then was kind of disappointed when it didn't happen only to realize than the black holes did almost exactly that later on.
Nice amount of levels. Not too little and not so many either that it would get repetitive without the introduction of new mechanics. So much more you could do with it though.
Good game! Who would say no to a few rounds of mini-golf?
edit: Ugh, double post b/c slow server...
Great game! It's like planetary putt putt. I love it! Would definitely love to see a full game made out of this. Awesome job!
Good work. Nice that it has a bunch of levels. I didn't really understand that it was minigolf until I got through the first level. The black holes were a good idea, but felt too strong. A few of the middle levels felt very unbalanced. Both of those are just polish, which is always difficult to spend time on for LD...
It was fun to play.
Well made space-golf, indeed.
