I had a smile on my face playing this one! Great stuff! We need a full release of it!

Man this was such a lovely vibe! I've never explored a map in a golf game before, very cool experience. Had a very special moment when I stopped hitting the ball for a moment and the whole world went dark and I could only see the stars... just magical! Fantastic job guys!

I would love to play a full release version of this! The aesthetic and simplicity were very satisfying.

man i love this! the aesthetic is great, color palette is giving me pico-8 vibes. i found the camera controls a little hard to wrangle, but i'm on trackpad so i guess that's why.

Wow! These graphics and sound effects are amazing. I can't believe how polished this felt to play.

I liked the visual style of this game. Pretty spooky, all things considered.

I'm not sure about if it meshes well with playing golf itself; which is normally a pretty calm game, and requires you to aim ahead... which is quite hard in this one. But I loved the atmosphere of a dark golf course...

Might produce an atmospheric, horror game out of this blend. Like playing golf, but something isn't quite right...  just uneasy.

Cheers!

This truly is the 3D golf game jam. What an incredible atmosphere tho with the lighting and sound design, it was spooky but calming at the same time, I absolutely loved it! Only complaint was the last level, too big of a spike in difficulty. Aside from that, very, very nice game.

Really cool concept and design!

This had such a cool, almost spooky vibe. Really loved the darkness and music.

took me 76 strokes to clear the lighthouse level lmao. I do love me a golf game with secrets, and the “you blew it” announcer voice is a great contrast to the quiet vibes of everything else. This game rules, nice work.

The camera could be a little funky and I felt some courses had a bit too much darkness, but the atmosphere is superb and the controls felt nice and responsive! Nice work!

Great idea for replayability.  Loved the lighting and sound!

Really cute, and love the way it was done.

Love love love the dithering/picocad graphics. Big props for making golf spooky I think that's super sick. The whole lighting idea is just really cool! My only criticism is that the last level doesn't really use the dark/light mechanics that much,  the previous level did more  with the core mechanic. Maybe you could incorporate a rotating light for the lighthouse? Overall, the vibes were immaculate, great work!

This art direction is really cool  :)đź‘Ť The darkness dithering is very nice
