very nice idea 

theme interpretation is also good

but i took some time to understand how the works

controls are also easy just click

game is very cool and fun to be played! 

Developer

Thanks for playing it and the great review.

Fun! Liked the idea of golfing on the moon. The sound effects were great, really liked the clapping! Instructions were good.

Gameplay: The controls were bad(even after reading the instructions) but it was nice how you had the random map.

Graphics: The graphics weren't that good. I didn't love the background it didn't really fit. It would also help to have an end flag.

Audio: The hit noise and clapping were good. I would have liked music though.

Innovation: Its a golf game.

Theme: Taking Golf Shots on the Moon.

Overall: Really nice game!!!

Can you try (and review) my game?

Developer

Thanks so much for playing the game and the review.  That's really great feedback.

For some reason the controls on this one were tough man! But the concept was funny! Find below my Misérables attempt lol

Thanks so  much for doing this.  It's brilliant seeing someone playing the game like this.  I have updated the instructions since seeing your video.  Sorry for the confusion!

Interesting idea.  Needs more explanation on how to control the ball (as others have said below).

If you like platformers, you might like to try our game.

Developer

Thank you for playing and thanks for the feedback.

I have tried your game and it was great!

Good Idea! But it is little bit difficult to hit the ball. Hope there are more hints or indications.

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!  Will have to have a think about how to improve that part of the UI.

The idea is good, but the direction and power bars really need to wait for the player to click and an extra arrow showing the trajectory would really help in the initial levels.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing, and thanks for the feedback, there's definitely a theme developing around  improving the  power bars!

Golf on the moon, interesting! Well done, though it would be great to see a sound track implemented into the game.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing the game and the feedback.  I will have to have a think what kind of tunes would work!

Nice game! I really like the concept of playing golf on the Moon, with different physics than golf in the Earth, very cool!

Just to mention that it would be great to wait for a player action to start with the next shot.

Well done! I enjoyed it!

Thanks for playing the game,  and the nice comments, really glad you enjoyed it.  Yes   I'll have to add something to make the UI better around the power bar starting.

Fun little experience! I didn't make it too far but I'm usually bad at golfing games so that's on me. I loved the cute golfer character!

The UI was a bit unintuitive at first, and even after I understood what they did I wasn't sure exactly how the timers worked. Would have been nice to have some instructions in-game or maybe at the start screen. Also the meter fill was kind of hard to see since it was a transparent white. Maybe using a different UI technique to show the fill would have made it better.

Hope you update the game and fix those issues. Would like to try it again with a better UI!

Developer

Thanks very much for playing game.    Thanks for the feedback about the UI I'll definitely try to improve it if I work on it some more.

I got to hole 7, I like the chill and relaxing nature of the game. It's a bit weird that the power slider doesn't wait for you to click like the direction slider does. There were a few times where I accidentally missed my opportunity to choose a good power level. I like the curvy terrain and I think the floaty physics fits the moon environment well. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback Diego, well done for getting to hole 7! I'm not sure I managed to do that!

Good point, I should make it more clearer when the power bar is about to start.

Got to hole 3! If the game moved faster, I would have played longer. Sometimes I would hit the ball really high and it would land on a slope and I would have to wait 30 seconds to play my next shot.

Like the idea a lot, good job!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and the feedback.  That's definitely something I'll look at if I do anymore iterations on the game.
