Let's go! Congrats on finishing!
Could use some background music, but the gameplay and mechanics work very well! I love how Molly just flies across the screen to where the ball goes. It's awesome.
woo, nice twist on the vintage golf games. great job
Great idea, i found it to a very funny variant of golf, Making the camera a bit more reactive would be nice in my opinion and maybe some more sound effects. overall good job ! :)
This was fun! I thought it was funny that you could choose to ramp up your power and just hold it there. The endurance the dog must have... Very nice placement of the obstacles. Most calculated game of fetch I've ever played.
cute golf game. I am just as bad in this game as I am in real life.
I dont really think about summoning while playing this game. But I wish my dog whould be as loyal as this one.
Thanks for joining the stream and participating! Here is my comment on the game: The dog that fetches the ball for its master in an endlessly floating universe!
Cute game! I like the way the dog flies around and the golf courses are well designed with a lot of neat shortcut and trick potential. I found myself wishing I could control the camera at least a little bit to see around trees or see upcoming parts of the course, and falling in a pit started to feel especially punishing with later levels.
Really fun interpretation of the theme. I had fun playing this, it looks cute, the courses have an interesting design so there's a lot of replayability to this. Cool entry!
Cute game, but i don't understand connection with game jam theme
@fenix131113 Will respond to you since you're the second comment to mention it.
A game of fetch consists of the dog's owner throwing a pull and then summoning the dog back to them.
"c'mere girl, bring the ball back to me"
Nice idea for the summoning theme. Never would have crossed my mind, but I think it fits well. I had fun with it, I just wish I'd get another try at a shot, when going into the water/off a cliff instead of having to start at the beginning.
Golf with extra steps. You can call it golf with Molly! XD XD
So cute! I love the way you interpreted this theme. Great work!
Adorable model, tricky gameplay but good mechanics. I enjoyed it even if I couldn't get past the first level. I liked it a lot!
Nice entry!
I had hard times with the restart mechanics instead of a respawn point, but I told myself that it's the rogue-lite of golf games! :joy:
:clap:
@deformhead That's the right mentality! Definitely did not expect the levels to be as punishing as they are, when designing you're just like "oh this is a cute short level"...would've definitely added a checkpoint system in hindsight! XD
This was a cool take on the summoning theme! Your game kept me interested and was more challenging then expected. I kept on competing with myself to try and fetch the ball in the least amount of hits!
This animation is doooooooooope
This was cute and kind of fun, I enjoy the creative take on the theme. I think using royalty free music would have done a lot in terms of mood; without music it just feels like something is missing
I played this game in cooperation with my three years old child - I choose direction + power and he taked care of kicking the ball. So much fun, definitely we will play it again!
@shrillwhip thanks for the feedback, you and another comment said the same thing but I was going for a day at the park with ambient breeze and birds...but I am definitely back and forth on it now that it's behind me.
I think I made the right decision, but maybe not!
@seppo-saamaki this is so sweet, choked me up :')
Maybe I'll tighten some stuff and add something in the future. Thanks for playing!
Amazing golf game for your first attempt! I already know your real Molly—so adorable! The animation is really cool when she approaches the ball. I wish there were more levels because I was left wanting more, and it would have been nice to be able to lift the ball to a certain angle. But my most sincere congratulations, for your first game, it's impressive.
Yeah, golf ... but really weird controls !
It's an amalgamation of fetch with golf.. interesting : )) and also nice atmosphere.
Some feedback: it could be quite fun but it's a bit punishing, give you an example: I almost got to the end of the first level aaaand... I hit a bit too hard xD ... this restarted me from the beginning ; (((
I will play a bit more though / as a fan of golf games I am keen on seeing more levels : ))
Cool game. Really difficult from the start, but fun! Thanks for making.
This is a cute golf game. Having some camera control would have been nice, since it was pretty hard to align things in certain spots and at one point Molly was completely behind the rotating wall. A manual reset button would also be good. Very good for your first game.
