Honestly one of the most polished games of the Jam. I would gladly pay for something like this on mobile. Nice job!

Cool art, cool mechanics, tremendous use of the theme!

So polished, great style and audio is fantastic. Really fun to play too

All I can say is wow! This is such a great game. I think if you were to work on this more after the jam and release the game people would pay for this. This game was just the best! I think this game could win!

This is rad. Favorite thing I've played from LD48 so far. The ball movement is on point, super smooth which makes every missed shot feel like it's entirely on you. Restarting from checkpoints if you don't stop on a white surface is brilliant too, making progress feel more significant! Would love to play a longer version.

I absolutely love how the background of the next level is the ground from the previous stage. Absolutely incredible effect. I had to go for the speedrun record! I love the track layering, and how the music gets more intense the further down you are. Seriously superb stuff. Incredible work all around!

So polished! Really fun and satisfying golf game.

Surprisingly action packed game!

Lovely artstyle :)

If there is anything I'd changed that would even faster level restart after pressing the key

Really nice! Love the graphics and the leaderboard at the end!

Where is the WebGl Benoit ????

*boss music intensifies* thats where the game really opened up for me. i would have liked to continue going deeper, especially the level transitions were super smooth.

Art style is amazing, sound design on point and the mechanic feels very smooth ! It all feels very polished. Really one the best entries I've seen so far ! But the #1 on the leaderboard insulted me so 0 stars

testudor 2021-04-27 13:55

The best one I played so far! Really cool concept and perfectly executed!

2021-04-27 13:59

Played it the end, spent at least 10 min in the last level XD I'm really bad at this but this game was great. Nice music and graphics, the choice for the interaction feels a bit weird tho

Loved the mechanics and the level design, its super fun to play. The music and the art are also just on point. Congrats on this one!

Really enjoyed this one! great concept & gameplay, really liked the cartoony artstyle. The evolution of music, the level design, the leaderboard, all of that was well put together. Great job! :D

5 out of 5! Just perfect! The idea is amazing.

charliemrl 2021-04-27 15:17

This is awesome ! The golf gameplay is so fun and feel really good, also the art is sooooo neat : the concept of having a specific color per level is a damn good idea. The music is very catchy and the system of layering between the different level is well executed ! Good Job ! 5 stars !

purrseus 2021-04-27 15:27

Wow, it's incredibly polished! The style is soooooo good and the mechanics are super tight! The ball always did exactly what I expected, all mess ups are to be blamed on me, not unexpected behaviour. This is really impressive!

Very, very well done and polished game! Even with Leaderboards!

Awesome game! My friend played the game while I watched (as I can't play games) so we talked about it as he played to get a sort of "2 heads are better than 1" review. Overall: really impressive work.

The game was so dang fun! The levels were very well designed. The difficulty was just enough to challenge without ever feeling unfair or uninteresting. Having a boss fight was a very cool twist. While your game scored well across the board, fun was definitely a stand-out and received the highest rating.

The innovation was the weakest in terms of judging, though I don't hold it against the overall score in any way as not all games need to be supremely innovative. The glue pads were neat but I've seen them before in other golf games, and the boss fight was a new twist, but ultimately this felt like a (very polished) miniclip golf game, of which my friend and I have played many.

The use of the theme was good, but the main comment my friend made that stuck out to me was "the deeper and deeper theme is more just incidental. I could have shot into the sky at the end of each hole and it would have been the same game. The theme didn't really inform the gameplay at all."

The graphics were super clear. It was always obvious what you had to do to progress, what was dangerous, the route that could be taken to beat the level, where the terrain was, and so on. It was very well executed and clean. The complaints mostly come in the form of "it felt like there could have been more," in that the visuals all gave the information necessary to understand the play area but it felt like there could have been more decoration to flesh out the world a little more. Also, the menu was default unity UI components. Nothing against default unity UI components, as they're functional, but they very quickly ripped me out of the immersion when I saw them as they didn't fit in with the rest of the game at all.

The audio was fantastic. Truly fantastic. The layered tracks of the music on each level were so nice and well done. There was one level in particular, when the melody came in, where my friend and I both just had to stop and bask in the experience. It really defined the tone and atmosphere of the game. Also, having boss music is always a big boost. The only complaint was that the sound effects could have been just a little bit punchier, as they really got overpowered by the music and felt lackluster in comparison.

Finally, the mood was just awesome. Again, the music with the cleanly executed graphics and level design all tied together to create a solid atmosphere that sucked my friend and I in. This is a game you all should be very proud of, and I only dream of making something this good.

I love this one. Please keep going with this one and let us know when it comes out. The amount of polish and clever design that you were able to implement for the jam is really impressive. The music is also perfect.

This was a fantastic golf game, I loved it! The physics were solid and predictable, and it was always fun to retry after a miss. The boss battle at the end blew me away. Very solid, polished game! I ended up playing it on stream if you want to check it out :smile: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004512553?t=00h02m14s

molpe 2021-05-06 09:20

LOVED IT :heart: The music, the art, the gameplay, it is easy enough so even I could finish it, but not that easy, so it was fun playing it :slight_smile: Great job :heart:

Here is my LP :slight_smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=887_ZQMEO1M

Great golf game and liked how you would sink into the next level each time with the final shot, was good use of the theme and visually worked really well. Had fun playing this and liked trying to figure out how to work the ball around into the hole, thought the level design was done well.

shnigle-shnagle 2021-06-04 06:07

is there source code? I have no idea how this amazing game was made.
