It's a really cool concept, and the feel of the gravity in each stroke is pretty bang-on. Nice work!
I also got eternally stuck in a blackhold.
Nice golf game.
I got softlocked by accidentally putting myself in orbit around a black hole on the third stage. I think adding a pause menu where you can undo the last hit or restart the stage would be nice...
Something to explain controls would also have been nice, since there's no way to know about the flag radar thing without reading the description. That said, this is quite good for a solo project! Nice job!
Also, I like the option to change palettes, and appreciate the ability to change the volume! And, the ball being affected by gravity is super cool!
I think the physics are well tuned, and I could see some very cool courses being designed around the idea of using the gravity of planets to put spin or curve the shot of the ball.
I will echo the thoughts that a better sense of geography, and knowing the full layout of the course looks like would help a lot. I know there is a freeaim mode but I might be tempted to have the arrow on as a default and have it toggle on or off with a button press.
I also think having the camera pan across the course from the flag back to the player at the start might be good to help the player get a sense of what obstacles they need to avoid / where they need to go.
Classic gameboy color palette, solid idea and the feel of the physics and controls were all good. :)
Great concept! Variable palette is nice.
Best golf game this Jam!
Really cool idea! I had fun trying to use the gravity to get the ball where I wanted, and the courses layout was good
Cool golf game, reminds me of What the golf, I really liked the freecam mode. Was hard to judge the strength of gravity on the larger planets. Thanks for making it, I had fun!
unique game mechanic, i like the golf. maybe show an arrow to point where the flag is
If you press shift, the game goes into freecam mode, and there is an arrow there.
