The game was uploaded quite in a hurry, but we're working on a late Windows port
The pixel art and animation is fantastic! I love the details on the main character, esp. how his tail waggles a bit as he walks. Also, the controls have excellent weight to them. Holding the spacebar to jump higher, plus the screenshake on big jumps and landings really makes you feel like a beast walking around the course.
Ball/hole indicators would be helpful. I didn't want to have to search around the level for the hole, or the ball when I lost it, which happened a few times. An easier way to aim would be helpful too. Holding alt for the power meter feels nice, but I wanted some way to aim high/low instead of just weak/strong.
Overall, this could use some polish on the golfing mechanics, but it's really satisfying to just walk/jump around and swing your club and blow stuff up. Nice entry!
