The physics felt weird. Other than that, an interesting mashup.

Nice concept and idea, good job! I also like the game flow (no menus like retry/go next/exit when you are finishing or losing the level). It speed's up the gameplay significantly. But I gave up and failed to complete the game completely2018-04-24 (3).png :) How to beat this one?

I LOOOOOOOVE THIS GAME! This is one of those rare games where as soon as I started playing, I immediately thought, "Why hasn't anybody made this before?". You combined both genres just perfectly. The scoring system of golf. The physics of pinball. I mean, I guess if I were being super picky, I would say pinball and golf are not actually incompatible, as they are fairly similar games in principle. But you did such a fantastic job of combining them, I'm so happy this game exists.

Pretro Shoferystov, you beat that level by hitting the ball over the trees, hitting the wall above the hole and so that the ball ricochets down into the hole.

Simple yet fun game. Feels like something that would be bundled with an operating system (in a good way) :) Nice job!

I finished it! Really fun. Real physics could have been a blast in this, but overall it was a nice little jam game and fit the theme well. : )

This is a cool idea -- golf and pinball make an elegant combination. The end result is nice and relaxing. :slight_smile:

Noticing other commenters mention the physics, you could add a bit of gravity to the ball to make the physics feel more realistic.

Pretty cool mix of games!!!

There is gravity but I think the gravity might be too weak.

Really great, simple gameplay. Fits the theme very well.

Enjoyable... but I did notice that the physics were just a bit off. You can catch a ball with the flipper and it just stops instead of bouncing. I think it is an interesting mash-up and could be something cool with a bit more development time. I would consider continuing to develop this.

Nice. Needs some more work on the physics. Good work.

I agree that the simple gameplay is a strong point in this game, and having limited menus allows for quick retries without much though like super meat boy. The music is fitting but can get a little repetitive and all the sound effects are perfect. I would love to see you work on this more and turn it into a full game, great job!

As almost everyone else has pointed out. The physics are a bit weird. Definitely could use some work. The art is alright. The trees and the water look a bit off. other than that everything is pretty clear as what it is supposed to be. The music i wish were longer so it wouldn't be as repetitive. The sfx work with the game but sometimes overplay each other ( from what i understand is a gamemaker studio issue ). Level 4 could be worked on a bit more as it is very difficult to get passed. The game was quite fun though and i enjoyed it :).
