Cool game. I really like the mechanic. Unfortunately it was really laggy for me

comari 2020-10-05 21:53

Fun game - this is one I could lose some time in :) Thanks for the submission!

tomh 2020-10-05 22:02

Enjoyed it a lot, music keeps me sucked in! great job

freddyturbina 2020-10-05 22:42

so much fun! i play it like 4 times just to break my time. Conquering the movement feels very rewarding. i would love to see more levels.

cg-fred 2020-10-06 08:48

Wow, thanks so much guys for playing the game and very happy that you liked it :D @ninnec oohhh no that's bad. I've included a PC build and added the option to turn off Post Processing which I think might be taking some performance, hope it helps!

cg-fred 2020-10-06 08:48

BTW what's your best times to complete the game so far?

protagonist-kun 2020-10-06 19:00

Fun and interesting mechanic, showcases games don't need to be complex to be fun! I expected some enemies at the end, that might be something for a future iteration :)

webox 2020-10-06 19:25

Awesome game as alwayss fred!! Really fun and challenging, I'm still missing a few levels. Music could be a bit more peaceful to battle the frustration of not being able to win. I'm super surprised by how polished the main mechanic feels, also one of the most original takes on the theme!! Congrats!!

azagaya 2020-10-06 19:33

Reaaly nice game! fun, simple mechanic, and challenging. I finished in 3.30 minutes.. idk if that's good. Really like this one!

Cool game, very clean graphics. I did have some issues with lag, but that might just be the WebGL build.

grommit 2020-10-07 22:26

Nice! 4:41

The game is quite fun. I used the PC build because there are some issues with the webgl build: - it's a little laggy - there is some issue with a shader, i guess: Capture d’écran_2020-10-08_12-58-02.png The game could use better music.

Overall, it's simple but fun. The concept is great and well implemented, controls are flawless. You made some good choices with the level design.

cg-fred 2020-10-08 15:49

@chocolat-endiveUhmm yeah that is a weird issue right there, WebGL and Unity doesn't seem to be best friends :) You should have heard the first music which I made myself, it would have driven you nuts but I would have liked to have some better Zen-like music but couldn't find anything with the limited time I had. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it a lot!

cedric86 2020-10-08 18:32

Fun concept. Great level design as well. Would make a great smartphone game. Overall very good entry. Keep it up!

stormcat 2020-10-09 06:22

Really cool game! I loved the simple art style, but having just that little but of postprocessing and glow made it look great. The controls were super easy to understand, and the tips on the side of the screen were great, as they didn't obscure any of the level. I was originally going to say that the music was upbeat and calming, but as I played through the game it got increaingly more frantic and put me in a state of semi-terror. I managed to beat it in 4:04 (not the greatest time I know), but I had a lot of fun. Good job!

netmute 2020-10-10 09:58

What a cool little puzzle game! For some reason it reminded me of those golf games I really like :grin: I just wish it responded a little faster, might have been the laggy webgl. Nice job! :thumbsup:

nsadie 2020-10-10 12:19

That was so much fun, really good idea, executed exceptionally well!

My only complaint was the music was a little bit repetitive!

abelkoh8 2020-10-10 13:38

I had lots of fun golfing. The music felt like it got faster, which was funny yet propelling. Thank you for the game! :)

thewustache 2020-10-10 14:06

Fun little game! Very impressive for 12 hours. It's essentially a platformer, but without a jumping, which I think is very clever. I found it a little frustrating that bouncing against the ceiling could kill your momentum because air and ground controls would be inverted. I would love to see more levels

cg-fred 2020-10-12 17:06

Thank you all for your kind words. @thewustache yeah that is a bit of an issue with the killed momentum, however having the controls not inverted causes a lot of weirdness also but that needs tweaking in potential future versions.

arron-fowler 2020-10-13 09:19

Oh what can I say. Near perfection in terms of feel. So very very satisfying. Its great. I hope you continue to develop it. It could be really special. Loved it

aplite 2020-10-13 09:55

Very good execution on the theme. Really enjoyed this game. This would make for a great mobile game. I would play many more levels of this.

marvalgames 2020-10-13 09:57

That was pretty genius. Clever and fun game that I am actually looking forward to playing again. I am expecting more levels :)

luckyfeathers 2020-10-13 10:43

Fun and simple game. It's easy to lose motivation when you're stuck on a level, so a level counter (like, "level 4/6") would help motivate me to get through all the levels. The game restarting after I'm done felt a bit unnecessary. I thought maybe the levels would change slightly, but as far as I could tell they're exactly the same? The fact that you're moving around in a circle is enough to fullfil the theme. Audio is good, though the music is a bit too repetitive, but it works for such a short game. Good, solid entry!

argon 2020-10-13 10:43

Simple and efficient even tho the physics feels a bit odd sometime.

f1krazy 2020-10-13 10:50

Very good for only 12 hours' work. Some of the levels are deceptively difficult, especially the last one, but once you know what you're doing you can breeze through it pretty quickly (my best time is just over 3 minutes).

I had to turn the post-processing off, not because of lag, but because I wear glasses and the blur was messing with my head and making me think my glasses were smudged. If you only had 12 hours, then that probably wasn't the best use of your time, to be honest with you. You could have traded in that post-processing for a couple more levels.

nickykendy 2020-10-13 10:59

Simple and Clear~ And very cool mechanic! Took me a while to master it :D

cg-fred 2020-10-13 20:10

Wow, thank you so much for playing my game and all the great feedback!

@luckyfeathers I took the very easy way out and just did a reload of the levels, with more time I could have done better in this area for sure.

@f1krazy alright that is great to know that post processing can be bad for people with glasses. Actually it didn't take me that long to add the post processing, probably like 20 minutes or so :D The levels was harder to come up with that also added variation to the game. Would have been great with a few more mechanics in own opinion.

ygrichman 2020-10-15 18:19

Quite fun and impressive for 12 hours work. Great Job!

schwede 2020-10-15 18:29

Hole in one! I call this a solid game. The game design forwarded me to finish this game. I enjoyed it from the start to the beginning, even though I had this frustration when the ball missed the hole just slightly. But that’s like the real golf, isn’t? Congratulation to your submission! You should complete at least a small version of this game.

Cool game. Maybe at the ending screen try setting it to something different than arrow keys (I accidently skipped the ending heh). I loved the music - pretty hectic! Enjoyed playing it as well, great entry.

omarmobadr 2020-10-17 21:03

fun little game I think you should make a mobile version of it with more levels that would be fun

also, I would love adding a button that turns post prescreening off because it's not performing well on the web.

cg-fred 2020-10-18 18:56

Thanks guys!

Ahh yeah that is true, should have picked another button for that @jakob-reborn .

Thanks @omar-14 we'll see maybe I make some type of full featured game of this. You can actually hit P to turn off post processing.

fractal 2020-10-20 21:39

Super fun game! Best score: 1:27!

sharks 2020-10-22 21:22

The music is annoying but other than that everything is good! Theres a lot of polish in it the game looks good and feels good the levels are all new, although I got stuck on one and gave up after 5 minutes... Nice job for 12 hours!

zoomer 2020-10-23 11:45

Fun little game, wasnt laggy for me. Concept is pretty cool and got me hooked till the end. Well done

rolly 2020-10-25 19:09

Nice take on the theme and very fun mechanic. I experienced some lags as some others said, but it was ok to deal with. I hoped for more levels !

The visuals are nice and the music was okay - maybe too repetitive.

Good entry !

ava-skoog 2020-10-26 18:01

This was great! The physics made it feel very good to play, and it looks and sounds very nice. The dynamic ramping up of the music was really well done. Liked it a lot! 🏌️‍♀️

rhoff95 2020-10-26 22:41

Cool game! would have liked to see more level variation or new mechanics added. Seemed like every puzzle was just trying to get to the top and then fall onto the hole. Maybe other shaped 'containers' or different ball properties.
