Fun traditional-ish golf game with a twist relating to the theme! Good job.

kaiomoi 2019-04-30 02:04

Great job, your game is really polished.

HOLE IN ONE ON LEVEL 4 ! I loved the art and the music, great job on this entry :thumbsup:

ariake81 2019-04-30 20:39

outstanding game! love the motion of the coins and the camera controls helps a lot. love it :)

I love all the insane trickshots you can do in this game by bouncing off the terrain. Luxor, Snooker, Octo, Move Along Magic, are pretty fun when you ignore the gimmick and try to just maximize money by making wild shots that ignore the entire map. In the end I think I got a pretty alright score

I do want to note that on the Luxor level (level 5), you can take out both of the paywalls with a single 3 coin, though it is bit a tricky to line it up.

A nice and really polished take on a classic

daspanjo 2019-04-30 21:29

Awesöme game! Everything felt well polished and the instructions are clear. I don't know about the physics of the coins because they kinda feel a little bit random ( Otherwise there are cool shortcuts possible this way). Another thing I think was weird is that on Stage 5 the 2$ coin ( after shot 1$ ) can't break the 2$ fence, however the 3$ coin ( after shot 2$ ) can go through the 2$ fence ( dead after that ) and continues traveling through the other 1$ fence without problems. But as I said, all in all it's a great game!

Fun game, liked the ability to think outside the box with this one.

wassim 2019-04-30 21:58

Amazing game, Solid concept and Idea, I was too lazy so I took some shortcuts xD Great job!

vanleiden 2019-04-30 22:09

Incredible game! I'd love to play a full fledged version of this! Please turn this into a bigger game. :D

ivan-garcia-filho 2019-05-01 03:16

Very Polyshed and it remembers me of my father playing "Chinquilho/Malha", trowing metalic discs on the beach towards circles drawn on the sand to score points as close as you get from the center... I would Just put a more dynamic background music, it gets anoying and repetitive after a few seconds...

plexsoup 2019-05-01 04:45

Great game. So many levels! Nicely polished. Good fun.

hugolnx 2019-05-01 18:26

My favorite game so far! Great job!! I only missed be able to see around without having to send a "kamikaze" coin hahaha

xmpt-luke 2019-05-01 18:44

@hugolnx You can move the camera around with the arrow keys, not that there's anything wrong with the kamikaze coin approach ;)

sciman101 2019-05-01 23:05

Really fun! One thing I'd really like to see is mouse camera control, since using the arrow keys can feel a bit awkward in an otherwise entirely mouse driven game. Besides that, though, I enjoyed it!

minibobbo 2019-05-02 00:53

I really enjoyed this! The music was lighthearted and felt like it belonged in the game. The Ikea instructions were a great touch, along with the random umlaut.

I was a little frustrated at times with the coin physics. Mostly it felt like the best strategy was to just try over and over for the hole in one. I would have liked to see some additional timing based shots or something. That hole with the four in the middle and the two fives on the outside was nasty!

brinkhousegames 2019-05-02 02:03

Great polish and execution on this idea! Absolutely loved playing it and hope you'll continue to develop it. Could be a great casual game.

raphnika 2019-05-02 09:18

Good idea! Never encountered a bug or was not able to progress. Smooth expirience. Though I wish there was more ikdea :D

xmpt-luke 2019-05-02 10:18

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the kind comments and feedback! :)

We'd definitely like to add more variation to the music if we turn this in to a full release (@ivan-garcia-filho) - it's a bit of a short loop at the moment!

Mouse movement on the camera would be big improvement (@sciman101). I think we'd look to make a mobile version if we release it as a full game, so this would be essential. Definitely something we'd look to add in.

We could probably do with refining the physics a little (@minibobbo) and smoothing our how sensitive input is. We'd found Snööker to be a really tough level too, so that one would probably move much later on in the game if we did it again.

minemes 2019-05-02 14:27

Nice. I loce the shots over walls ;D

twenty5clocks 2019-05-03 00:15

I love puzzle games and this hit the sweet spot between puzzle and action. Nice job. Very clean game.

zoneoutapps 2019-05-03 05:52

Nice!! I'm a sucker for point and click golf games and this currency-themed one is tops! Much luck in your LD ratings!!

8bit-beehive 2019-05-03 12:11

cool game the music is great

falak 2019-05-03 12:26

So nice! It's more like curling then a golf but still it's really nice! Good luck!

bauke-regnerus 2019-05-03 14:33

Great execution. The graphics are very clear.

geist-191 2019-05-03 14:45

Very nice game here. Really addicting. Graphics are top and the overall feeling is perfect. Enjoyed it a lot!

dr4g0nsoul 2019-05-03 14:46

Really cool game. The arrow hides under the terrain. But besides that this would be the perfect time waster on mobile. Great job!

lazertrax 2019-05-04 10:51

Amazing game, Very clean graphics with a unique and chill gameplay. I really enjoyed playing this one. Very very well done!

mika-la-grand 2019-05-04 20:45

Great game, but I couldn't get past level 7. I would have liked if the shooting was the other way around (arrow on the same side of the coin as the mouse cursor). It would have also been nice if there was a little marker showing you what force you had applied previously (before the reset) foreach shot of each coin. Other than those things, was it very enjoyable!

johnnydalvi 2019-05-04 22:28

outstanding entry, you should release this game on a bigger store. Only thing that I've noted that could be fixed case it's not like that by design, is the fact that you can shoot the coin with full power at the level bound and it will be able to pass above it (managed to beat the level that you have a single 8 coin with 2 shots)

xmpt-luke 2019-05-05 12:30

@mika-la-grand - The previous force indicator is an awesome idea, thanks! :smile:

kaisean-games 2019-05-05 12:57

I like golf games like these. Very well done. Some levels are somewhat hard, but it's not boring to try again, so all is well.

Nice game. Keep up the good work.

2019-05-05 20:45

Really enjoyed this, lot of potential showed in the puzzles for where this could go in a full game with some neat ideas here. Also want to echo other comments that it looked lovely and felt pretty solid and polished.
