Fun idea, quite challenging. My suggestion would be to maybe make some sort of border around the level as I thought both the sheep and the player would fall off so I spent some time trying to avoid that. But generally I liked it :)
- Surprisingly, golf! - Death animation is hilarious - The timer level at the end was a cute use of mechanics - Completion time: 10 minutes and 10 seconds
Cool game, i like it! Very funny idea. Some levels are really hard for me :)
Was quite fun! I am terrible at controlling Ponk, though. I join the idea about some kind of wall/border around the first levels, to show we can't fall off... yet :laughing:
Surprisingly fun game, but the controls were very weird and I'm pretty sure the soundtrack isn't original :wink: Anyway, I had a good time with it, quite challenging, especially the wolf level!
Very cool little concept - like a mix between mini golf and a platformer lite. Wasnt too impressed initially, seemed like a clunky mini golf style game but the added puzzles possible regarding getting Ponk to the goal as well were actually quite interesting. The death effects were great too. Would have preferred no music for it as a Compo entry (you say "Some music was used courtesy of ZapSplat.com")
The WASD controls were too fiddly for me to really enjoy it. Getting into the right position was hard as well as using distance to line up shots - especially trying to run through the wold level. I think it would be a challenge to make that feel good but if you can refine it, there is quite a solid game here!
The inconsistency with level edges was also a rude shock - I assumed that the edge would mean you fell off however level 2 (I think) I noticed that there was an invisible barrier so you could use it for trick shots. One of the later levels involves a narrow path with NO edge barrier though and there is no visual difference between the two. Looking at the level design I assumed the barrier might be missing but it would be better served with some form of visual indication.
Overall, great little idea and enjoyable enough that I kept retrying the level in your second screenshot (where the platformer mechanic options start to shine!) Certainly think there is a marketable game idea in here! Nice work
Hard to predict where the sheep will go, the black line is often misleading (probably because of the fixed camera too) I would have projected that black line on the ground to better appreciate its direction.
I had a lot of fun with this one! It was on the challenging side, the wolf level and the thin path level in particular. I like how you innovated on the mini-golf formula by having the putter have to reach the goal too, you could do some interesting things with that idea.
I really liked! I never thought I would play golf with a sheep! It's a nice concept and I have a lot of fun playing it. The controls are too sensitive and some times is hard to place the character in the correct place. I suggest some animations to main character too (maybe mixamo would help here). Overall it's a good game. Good job!
Really creative combination of 3D platformer and golf. I think if you threw some time at really polishing the controls, this game could really shine. But obviously it's more important to get it done :) Great job on providing a variety of levels to show off the game as well.
I jusy want to play and lose watching this die animations hahaha! Really well designed and a great idea.
This one is funny! Interesting idea! Tried to avoid edges, not to fall off, apparently in vain.
Amazing. The most silly and fun game so far this jam. Also the sheep. was. amazing. Such a round boi. Plus, I love that the rocks were actually just sheep and that when I died I split into little versions of myself
A little bit difficult, but interesting and complete.
funny game... unfortunately i didn't make it past the second level... the controls were too confusing for me... anyway the death animation was funny
if the controls and physics were ever fixed I would love to play it again
