How does you game fit the theme?
A huge golf obstacle course
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code, the art (except the main menu banner) and soundtrack are external assets, for which I have permission to use.

the graphics look really crisp and the audio creates a nice atmosphere. I did find the camera angles quite frustrating and would have preferred having a bit more control. Hitting the ball took a few seconds to get used to but I really like the mechanic you used (would work well for a snooker/pool game too!).
Neat game, I am not very good at though haha. I think that maybe the sensitivity of the zooming and rotation could be a bit lower however, I often found myself having a hard time getting the camera to be where I wanted it to be.
This is actually pretty fun lol just flinging the ball around. I like the minimalist art style, I think if you could get the mouse drag UI to look a little better the whole game would visually come together. The perspective makes it a little difficult to determine the verticality of the level, so you might want to come up with some way to portray that better to the player. Other than that, solid game!
Yeah I realize that, I think it's because I used an orthographic view rather than perspective, so it became very hard to percieve depth -- which is an essential factor in this game.
Very nice little game, unfortunatly, I came across a few bugs, but overall a good looking, fun little game, I wish there was an ending. And more levels. :)
A very entertaining game, like most minigolf games.
The physics were considerably awful. More often then not the ball bounced off flat geometry due to a wrong setup of physics. Let alone the parts where you had to go uphill, it get very frustrating very quick.
While the theme is fitting, it doesn't really add anything else to the game other than dead ends.
Also, for some godawful reason, there's a lone piece of track near the finish with a checkpoint, which doesn't really allow you to continue anymore, made me ragequit.

Yep, I realize. The problem was that the assets (from kenney) had bumps in almost all of the tiles, which is why it bounced off at random points. I could've used a box collider (I'm using Unity) but I'd have to make different colliders for the edges, and I didn't have enough time to make my own assets, so I just let that bug go. And, unfortunately due to my laziness, I didn't add a finish flag or anything at all in the end. I do kind of regret not doing it because it seems like there are a lot of people (almost everyone) who found it irritating. Anyways, thanks a lot for the honest feedback!
Overall I think the game is great looking and the sounds and art style are really well nailed. I personally found it hard to sense the depth and placement of the ball. I don't know if it was the lack of a shadow or the colors of the grass but I was often trying to recalibrate my senses. Also, the sensitivity on the zoom and camera rotation was a bit too high.
In the end, I had fun with it and it was easy to get started and figure things out without too much hand-holding. Thanks for the experience.
If you got the time, feel free to check out our submission as well: OINK
Fun little minigolf game! Honestly put minigolf in something and I'm in
Super fun game with awesome aesthetics :) Only thing I would say is that it's a bit tricky to get a sense of where the ball is (maybe a shadow or something like someone previously suggested would do the trick) but overall the game is great!
That start was really good, and also the explanation of the fake tiles was also really good. Really good game design in general.
Great game! Really liked the aesthetics :) and the music was so chill!!! Just found it a little tricky to get a sense of depth with the solid colours.
Nice clean design and execution !
Nice game, a shadow beneath the ball would have been so good, many times I couldn't really read where the ball was in 3d space

I definitely yeeted the ball a few times looking for a long distance victory. I suck so no dice. Fun game though
Haha nice, some friend of mine actually managed to land perfectly on the end flag, from the very start. That's some mad gamer luck right there.
A fun and unique game! The physics were fun to mess around with. I found it difficult to play at times because the camera was very zoomed it - I thought the windmill was some kind of warp in reality because I couldn't see all of it in the frame. That all said, nice job! I would appreciate it if you player my game as well.
I almost wrote the same complaint but then I realised, hey you can zoom out with S
I really like this game.
Its quite relaxing and super fun. I found it to be quite hard to navigate at times because the camera was a bit zoomed in. Nevertheless, I was really suprised to see a golfing game amongst the submissions, and I really enjoyed the simple artstyle.
I think it would be quite interesting to expand on this. Especially with the theme. Perhaps there could be more things that are "not real"? Anyways, good submission :D
Super fun! I love the description of the controls. "Yeet the ball" lol
I'm glad you didn't have to click/drag the ball directly or this would have been frustrating! Nice job on this super chill fun game!
This seems like the kind of game to just have fun and waste some time. Which was very successful! I like the idea that some paths weren't real - maybe extend this idea to make the game more challenging and really make you focus.
Yep that was exactly my intention, glad to hear it! :D
ASMR lol
Really relaxing :)
I made this Spider man game!! Please try it out... its VERY AWESOME 2D game!!
