I liked this game, but I'd like to adjust the difficulty curve. At several first tiles, a player might need 2 balls to reach the golfpost, and he will lose if the first ball fall. Probably it makes sense to provide the first additional ball earlier.
Yea the randomness can be brutal... in a full game there should probably be more ball rewards early and then less later, but currently its just a new ball every 6 rounds
Found a major bug!
I picked extra life perk. Once I run out of balls it spawned new ball at start location. But my previous ball is still left on the field. so I tried to throw it off into the water just to see what happens. And it started growing in size and mess up rest of the game :)
Oh yea that's a stupid oversight, should be fixed now!
Holy moly, very fun, great idea, chill music and good job
A really good game! Being a fan of Desert Golfing and various mobile roguelikes I could definitely see myself playing this a lot on my phone. I couldn't work out what the yellow squares did, but other than that, everything made sense and it fitted the theme well. Great entry!
Thanks a lot! The yellow squares slow you down (like sand)
genuinely fantastic game, could see this as a full release and I'd play it. fantastic work!
Thanks Im surprised by how well this works too... so I might take this further after the jam
UPDATE: Had to make another change to fix freezes after hole 6 and the leaderboard... (unfortuantely had to reset the leaderboard as well, sorry)
Hallo,
Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;
adds: I do NOT yet know if the ball release COMMAND is automatically set to execute at select TIMES due to observed such OUTPUT while PLAYING GAME;
Thank you. Health!
Uuuh not to be rude, but are you a bot? xD Anyways thanks for playing!
I like this idea. Sadly, the application freezing after playing for some minutes.
Thanks, the freeze should be fixed now!
Nice one! It gets quite tough quite quickly - two shots might be a bit unforgiving for this game! Also, well done on getting it in 10 seconds before submission, talk about cutting it fine!
Thanks! Yeah the start is a bit rough if you don't get good options, but you do get more balls later on
Very impressive
I wish game didn't freeze after hole 6 or so. My guess is it tries to put me on leaderboard but fails. Doesn't seem like anyone else made it to leaderboard either.
Should be fixed now!
Thanks! Now this is great! I should try making it to 100+ holes :)
Made it 137 holes. Got a bit tired and lost on purpuse though :(
Got to say it becomes hard to loose after around 50 holes or so when I acquire many balls but Golfposts are still relatively easy to reach with just half of what I got since I'm the one building stage. Music also becomes a bit too repetative. would be cool to have more sound tracks.
I'd suggest make every next ball locked after progresivly more points.
Other problem I see is that I just keep on repeasting 3 or 4 paths that I've built making it very repetative. Maybe every 50 rounds or so I should also relocate my starting location? Or make me place more blocks before placing next goal so that I'm developing new places faster. Or make me replace existing blocks from time to time?
Thanks for playing that long! I've honestly not played that far, so no wonder the balancing is off there... The plan was to have the mystery pick ups sometimes remove some tiles or balls instead of giving you rewards
Cool idea! It's very fun. The game tends to run very heavily after about 6 holes, which makes it unplayable because it just freezes. But otherwise very fun
Thanks for pointing that out, should be fixed now!
Will go back to the golfpost as soon as I can!
Cool game!
Master Piece!! I love the idea of golf and roguelike! Good Job.
Nice! I really like the concept, it's original and well implemented. It's well connected to the theme as well.
This is very fun! Great job!
Had fun with this game, well made.
Note: I had to do a small fix after the deadline to get the WebGL build to work (there was an issue with playing sounds on startup crashing the game every time)
Had so much fun with the game <3, did notice a small bug : If you retry you won’t get the initial upgrades that you do from starting fresh
Glad you liked it! I'm not sure I get the bug? You should get a new ball each 6th round
