One of the best looking game out there with a very cool idea ! Sadly I think it's kinda hard to control where you want the skull to go. Maybe that's the point ?

Developer

Wow thank you that's very kind! Yea it was kinda the point but I understand that it was kinda too much for some people

Very fun, amazing idea and it was really polished but one thing I noticed was that sometimes it was almost to easy like for example you hit the ball to go out of the room and somehow it ends up getting to the goal after only 1 hit other than that the game is great and I do really like the art style.

also if you have the chance could you rate my game I still dont have 20 ratings.

Amazing concept and really well polished, however the skull physics were a little weird even if it is meant to be like that I would prefer it if they were a little easier to get a grip on, other than that I have nothing else to say then great game and I really like the art style!

Developer

Thank you im glad you liked it :)  I can understand that, could you say what specially about the physics made it hard to get a grip on?

Submitted

Mainly the bouncing because sometimes you want to do something a bit precise and then for some reason it just fails no matter how well you aim

Submitted

Really nice art style!

This was a well-polished game but the skull physics made me frustrated, it would keep either just returning back to me, go back to the starting location, or not going the way I meant for it to go. Maybe you can make it so that the player does not massively slow down the ball and that you always face the ball. It was nice that you could push it around to win but that felt like cheating lol.

Im glad you liked the art style :) Its partly meant to behave chaotically so it wasnt just a precision golf game but i understand that can be too annoying for some

Submitted

I get ya, I think it was just like "no I said go away stop coming back to me >:(" lol

Really liked the art style. Text was a bit hard to read but overall it was a fun game. Good Job! 😁

Developer

Im glad you liked it :) I think trouble with the text is only if you dont fullscreen the unity player, or was it the font itself that you didnt like?

Enjoyable golf style game with an enjoyable theme. Despite the fact you can just push the skull to the end to get 0 strokes, it's really fun. What's the point in pushing it to the end, that's no fun.

Great job1

This Game is so satisfying (especially when you hit the skull)!!

Had Fun XD!!

Developer

Thank you, glad you had fun :)

I really like the graphical approach! This game reminds me a lot of the game Ultraflow on mobile, and yea, really good feeling, really good sounds, music fits perfectly (yes, i know that you didn't make it yourself, but you still gotta find a fitting one!). I wouldn't mind spending a few euros on it if you ever decide to make a full game

Developer

Wow thank you so much, that's really kind! I'm glad you liked it so much :)

I don’t think of myself as one for golf games… I wouldn't think a puzzle spooky golfer would be my thing, but I had a great time and was sad to see the level counter tick up to 15.

Main thing I would have to say is brilliant sound and game feel for a week long gamejam, I may not have had the best hit count by the end of each level, but with how satisfying it was to knock the skull around and break crates I’ll happily take that loss.

Feels like the quintessential, enjoyable and charming gamejam game with a great take on the theme.

Developer

Wow thank you so much, thats very kind :) Im glad you had fun and liked it so much!

so engaging and fun game really love the PS1 look of the game and the music sounds very good. great job.

Developer

Thank you so much :) I'm glad you had fun!

Wow! This is one of the few games that I find actually engaging. I kept playing until the very end! The skull mechanic was interesting, but it fit the game well. The game was very polished, and this is one of the best games I have played so far in this jam!

Developer

Wow thank you so much! I'm glad it was so fun :)

It was beautiful! I can feel the quality of levels, art direction and game design. Seems on a first glance like something wobbly and bizzare (and it is, actually :p) but in reality NumbSkull is a very polished and fun puzzle! Instant favorite.

Developer

Thank you so much thats really kind :)

It's like if Air Hockey and Golf had a baby and it was born on Halloween. Great game, great graphics reminds me of the N64's graphics and great music. The only thing that I can really be critical about is that it could have been more chaotic. Maybe adding some special skulls with unique abilities or something else could have fit the theme more. Overall, I had a blast and can't wait to see what you further add to this game.

Developer(+1)

Aha I love that description! Thank you so much, im glad you liked it. Yeah new skulls (maybe a pumpkin) were ideas but its a jam so only got the main stuff in. I have lots of ideas of where it can go, things like potions, enemies and abilities but any suggestions are more than welcome :)

Also if you follow my itch page youll get notifications when i update it if you want to keep up!

Will definitely keep watch!
