It's so challenging! The idea of reusing golf shots is very interesting though. I'd be interested in watching some crazy person win this game!

Really cool idea! Fun tone to go with it and juicy design throughout. Took me a little bit to get used to, and even then I found it quite difficult, but really rewarding when it goes well. I particularly liked being able to use each shot before the previous one was finished, added an extra layer of tactics to it all

This is a challenging game. The idea also is nice.

First few levels are well surprising with the unique mechanic that I had to get used to. The gameplay is a little strange that I find each level make a too much of a difficulty differences.

Very nice.

This was probably the most fun game I tried this jam. I would love to see more level packs on a phone version of this game :)

Great idea! I like how you don't have to wait for the move to be completed to go to the next move. It combines the careful planning with some action oriented gameplay. Great job!

a really well made mechanic, made the game pretty fun

Very fun! I love the mechanic, I only managed to reach hole 5.

We both went for golf games! though completely different gameplay so.. Still great minds think a like!

some music would have been nice as it feel empty, and the relation with the theme is a bit abstract.

But man the gameplay is smoooth

Thanks!! I might've made the music too quiet but it is there! - it pulls the whole vibe together I think    :) Thanks for playing and for the suggestions!!

Very good and refreshing concept!

Very original concept, that was hard (I only managed to get to hole 5) but fun. Nicely done! :)

Very nice concept, challenging. Never had I thought that a golf game can be a puzzle game as well. Great work

Amazing job making a difficult but fun game

Submitted(+1)

Nice concept, its really challenging. But the changing scales didnt quite feel natural to the game itself, maybe you could use the jam theme some other way idk, still pretty fun game!

This is one of the best puzzles I played in a while! Simple, clear and to you face idea, really enjoyed it

Submitted(+1)

This is a hilariously unique idea! The puzzle of having to memorize what the layout of each hole is, and plan a shot that would be useful in multiple of them is very complex and interesting. One thing that I kind of wanted, which would make it slightly easier, is the ability to choose the order of which of your previous shots to use. But that might break the intentionality of some of your puzzles. But overall, great work!

Giving me fond memories of playing 4D golf earlier this year, with the way everything scales around. The repeating-your-last-shots mechanic is really interesting - makes me take a lot of weird shots early on, so that I have a few moves I can use later on. Lovely golf game, nice job!!

the core gimmick makes it an interesting puzzle!

A nice funky golf game!
