Best menu of all the games I've played this game jam. Simple but well executed game. I think that this could be perfect mobile game. I've played similar game to this one, but the balls that stay at place really add depth to the game.

nicee gamee

1. sound of a hole in one goes mostly in the left ear, i think it would be better if it was mono and not stereo. gameplay is okay, but could be less repetitive. i understand that game becomes harder with time, but there could be some special balls that fly in curved trajectories, or maybe power-ups for a hole so that it can dash?

2.playing as the hole in a golf game is kinda creative, though not too unexpected

3.sounds are a bit off? i know it's for a game jam and finding good audio is hard, but i won't give it a 5-star presentation rating for that. the visuals are cute tho

Fair points!
Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback.

I really enjoyed this. I could see this being a simple mobile game or evolving into utter bullet-hell chaos. Fantastic work!

What a great execution on a simple concept, really well done! The controls feel great and it has a bit of a bullet hell survivor vibe going on, really great!

Submitted(+1)

That's a unique concept! Well done!

Realy neat game !! I love the fact that balls bounce of each others, well done :)

This is a great game, very clean style. I love the custom cursor with the soundeffects, makes for a unique and satisfying game! good work!

If golf was like this, I would win all the time

High score 453. Is that good, haha? I love the twist of being a bullet hell but the bullets slow down onto the screen and collide with others. Makes for some nice planning of where to hide from incoming bullets, etc.

From what scores I've seen so far, over 400 is a good high score after some attempts.
Really great scores are over 600, and insane scores are over 1000 :D (I achieved that only once during balance testing, but it is possible.)

Bullet hell golf haha. Pretty un take on the theme, I enjoyed it. My high score currently is 541. The game is simple and easy to grasp, but it gets really fun and hard when the field fills up. I think having the balls ricochet was also a wonderful addition and really added to the experience.  Presentation wise the game is excellent and that initial menu/main screen was very unique and memorable. I dont really have much feedback, the game was well executed. Now if you will excuse me ive got more not golfing to do.

I love how chaotic this game gets

great game! This is by far the best execution of this idea I have seen so far. well done! Also I love that menu idea.

This is such a funny idea, I love it! Controls were very smooth, the idea was very clear, and overall the game was intuitive and enjoyable! The only thing I wish was that there had been something more to it after a while. Maybe "environmental" shenanigans (e.g., squirrels or rabbits chewing up the "course", reducing playable space, or golf carts "driving" over previously at-rest balls to make more chaos)?

Either way, you've got a great, addicting game on your hands, good work (: 

Developer

Great feedback, thanks! I agree that it has very few simple elements at play and could have more fun stuff as a round progresses.
My jam ToDos included collectable power ups / actions (more in the direction of helping the player manage the amount of balls on the green). But as it is, time ran away faster than anticipated :D

Very good game, it gives you a lotof time to react and it increases the difficulty constantly by leaving some balls in the circle. I love it.

Also *cough* *cough*...  NICE


(I promise I didn't do it on purpose)

Nice, simple and short game. The golf balls stopping on the green as an obstacle was a novel idea. Love it, great job.

cute and simple funny game, the golfers must be very angry cause I got:

Submitted(+1)

Very simple mechanics and I love how to gets progressively harder, SFX are satisfying and the music is very catchy! If I could give you a suggestion it would be to add a mode where you try to catch as many golf balls as you can instead of avoiding them! it would be fun to play after the jam is done :D


Developer(+1)

Thanks for the suggestion! Would name that mode "One for All" :D 
But I probably won't update the game further. It was great fun for the jam though.

Alright it's your choice, just wanted to give you some ideas haha, good luck on the game jam then!

I like your game! Also the sound effects are very satisfying:D
