Super chill little golf game with a cool premise the more chain links you collect with each hit lets you explore further when landing.  Took me a while to figure out how to hit properly as far as I can tell your second hit has to be right of you first hit the closer to the right your first hit is the more forward you go. The closer your knobs are together the harder you hit. This lets you chip shot it or like  go for longer shots or shorter. You also get double/triple/ and more jump at some point but I'm not sure what triggers that. It's a cool design language though a little under explained and I thought the game was broken at first. But once I got it I played if for a while it reminded me of like a classic fun little flash game, The art style is super cutesy tho a little unreadable at time. I don't know what the eyes? or people? I was picking up were for. The music is chill and helps with the vibe. I like the little secrets scattered around. The only thing I'd suggest is letting me decide when to reset as sometimes I'd be  going for an item and get pulled back, Also I'm not sure if the game had an ending, there seemed to be a pit I was going for but it wasn't clear I could go into it or anything. Overall a fun time. I enjoyed it a lot. Very relaxing.
