Random power is an interesting idea, but I never really factored it in to my decisions. If I had been able to see the upcoming random power maybe I could have done something with that information, but it doesn't seem very well utilized at the moment.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

I always like a golf based game, the random power is a nice little twist that fits the theme. Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much!

This randomized power of the put sort of feels like an interesting take on losing control, but it also means that we have one less variable to think about when making the put.

That being said some of the levels really ramp up in difficulty, it's really tricky to hit the right angles atm. Maybe if you had a line that would point in which way the ball would go (think angry birds or other golfing games) it might bring the challenge a bit down?

All in all still great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

This is great! I found that the challenge ramped up very quickly! The levels swapped between easy and hard. It fits the theme very well. Is the power randomized or set for the level? On level 4 I found that the power went from red to gray each time. Keep up the good work!


and if you don't mind could you review my game too?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The power of the ball is set by me. It is not randomised.

Developer

Don't forget to read the description! It let's you know about all the known bugs.

It doesn't feel very out of control. Nice game though. Very pretty.

You are not able to control at what power you hit the ball with. Also Thanks!

Ah, I see

Interesting idea. Matching visuals and audio. 

Tutorial button was buggy. The "loop" of trying, failing and trying again is a bit too slow I think. The transition from last move to where the level is playable again takes too long I think. Having a way to skip past that would be great.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. I found out about the tutorial button but did not have enough time to fix it.  There is a way to restart the level with R but again I did not have enough time to add it to the tutorial page. Thanks for playing though!

I love the art and the physics work really well, but it gets too hard too fast in my opinion. Overall a decent game. (If you want to, you can rate my game here: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695101)

I agree that the difficulty curve is a kind of strange... Thanks for the feedback as well!
