The narration alone makes this game so fun to play. 

Submitted

oh man this game was a trip! XD really fun and great job with the narration! gotta say, the title makes it sound super boring, but this was just so funny! gameplay is pretty simple, but it does fit the theme and works properly, so good work!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Hey,

I finished the game early and waited for the audio log to finish while I was on the game over screen HAHA.

Really simple and lovely game.

Cheers!!!

Submitted

That was SO funny! The audio log is such a great addition, it's so ridiculous and hilarious! There also happens to be a really fun golf game besides that. Well done! I loved it.

Submitted

Absolutely Hilarious,  engaging gameplay and a generally fun experience. The controls took a while to get used to but I had fun with it!

Submitted

this was the best golf game i ever played! the commentary was so funny, great game

Submitted

Very funny narrator and engaging mechanics!

Submitted

Adding a voice over about the history of golf is quite funny, and I think it adds a lot of charm. It turns it into a comedic golf game. With enough polish this could become a great mobile game, good submission! (Also love your content)

Submitted

Solid golf game and I liked the voice over as well. Good job!

Submitted

Quite fun game (: Benett Foddy of small balls. I was able to dodge a lot of the obstacles, i think a more controlled design would have suited the game better! Very nice anyway! you should consider playing my game as well!

Today I've learnt a lot, thanks to a cassette I don't remember playing, that's distraction was the only reason I couldn't get a hole in one in each golf course.
Sincerely a fun time, the games descriptions sells itself short of the physics experience and comfortable controls that compliments the tone of the learning experience really well. An easy favorite for me.

- My favorite part is without any doubt the narration, just classic fun humor that elevated the experience of playing the game.
But that's not to say the game wasn't fun. An easy to launch golf ball control scheme and not being quite frozen in the air on repeat shots feels nice and offset well the designed awkward physics shape of the ball as you navigate the nice collection of obstacles. It doesn't take itself seriously, but not in a way that doesn't let the player take itself seriously-played through a second time without narration to get a score of 41. Really enjoyed it.
The art is pretty charming with nice strong colors for the foreground against a themed faded background, and the music/sound blends well.

- It would be nice if there was a way to play through it a second time without the narration to enjoy the game experience you made, it's just too funny to not be at all distracted on repeat plays.
A current score and hole number/hole number would be helpful.
A rising/shrinking tone for when you're charging the shot would have been nice, but it would have to be balanced low to not get in the way of the narration while playing.

Very fun game, the controls feel pretty good once you play it for a while. My favorite part, though, was for sure the narration! Really makes the game a unique experience.

I also really like your channel btw!

Submitted

Great and hard game. I tried not to laugh, but I did sorry.I loved it. My best is:

Submitted

I think you did a really good job making the player feel good by playing the game. The hazards are hazardous and hilarious (the sonic jump pads are my favorite), the camera shake is juicy, the sounds are punchy, and the gameplay is simple to understand yet nuanced if you want it to be. Splendid game!

Submitted

really liked this entry! the narration is pure insanity, i loved it. The theme interpretation is a bit weak and the gameplay allows for the player to "spam" the left mouse button and cheat(although you get a worse score), maybe allowing the player to shoot the ball only when it's on the floor could make the game more engaging. I like the polish and overall presentation on the game, the graphics suit the style in a nice way

Submitted

Great and hilarious voice acting, fun game overall!

Submitted

Cool game and good voice acting!

Submitted

This is very good. I like it.

Submitted

This is awesome!!!!!!!! I learned a lot!
