Great game! Very creative with the coal trying to reach the stove haha - The puzzles were nice although sometimes I did feel a little floaty and out of control with the controls and the blowers - still had a lot of fun - this is an awesome entry well done!

It took me a minute to figure out where the tutorial was but after that it was a lot of fun to figure out the puzzles. Good job on creativity!

The game is very good

Not bad! I enjoy the game's artstyle, and was surprised to find out it was a mini golf game, something I haven't seen yet and is refreshing from the large amounts of puzzle games and platformers in the game jam (Which I am very guilty of adding to that count with my submission) however this game has a major bug related to the screen and I unable to get past level 3 because of it, when the game is not in full screen I barely see anything due to it being zoomed in on the top left corner, when full screen I can barely see the inventory and the bottom half is completely off screen with some things unable to be touched this is an issue in level 3 because the air blower simply cannot be picked up despite the airblower's handle being visible, like it's taunting me I really wish I could see more but I simply cannot beat level 3, atleast it controls well.

Yep, seems screen formatting has been a big downfall with our submittion. I am glad you at least got to play a little bit! That's further than other's were able to get to before issues arose.

I loved this. The art, the music, the gameplay, the concept, the puzzles, all were stellar! It'd be nice if we could pick up and move items once we'd placed them if we needed to adjust them, but that's a minor thing and doesn't set you back much. A level select would be a nice addition. I forgot what the rotate controls were and had to replay the first couple levels. Also, what does the torch do other than make you move faster on sand? I couldn't figure that out.

Developer

Torch was a little lack luster, all it did was increase the movement speed while in range

The fullscreen mode is broken and I couldn't see the entire screen. Do you have a Window version?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I will have to check and see if it is allowed. If so, I could definitely add a windows version

I like the idea of the game. Sometimes the hitboxes felt a little unfair. Music and the art were nice. Overall, good job!

A bit buggy but fun! I would suggest changing the ground a bit since it feels out of place but all in all, Well Done!

The game was still a bit buggy, but I still managed to play it. Nice game concept!

Submitted(+1)

The game only works in full screen (Safari macOS) and the game over is buggy? the screen was black and nothing else :/

Otherwise, it’s a nice little game, and the music is very cool!

rats, seems there were some bugs I missed.


Thanks for playing!

Cool game! I love the art

Although there were minor issues with screen formatting, i thought this a pretty unique and interesting concept with intriguing puzzle design

a few things i wished the game had are: when dying, placements aren't undone (so if you are only a little off from finishing a level, like rotating a blower slightly left, then u don't have to set it all up again and again), clearer explanation of what terrains do what and what items do what (i wasn't sure what the torch did until way later on in the game), visual explanation connecting the target button thing to unlocking the door

Developer

I really wish I got to a few of these, but I fell a bit short. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

The game itself is fun, but I couldn't figure out how to rotate items and that left me quite a bit frustrated :D But I really liked the music!

Submitted

It was a good and unique game, Only problem was that without a tutorial, I couldn't really understand what to do and had to figure out how to rotate the objects myself. Either way, Good Job!

good puzzle game. Sometimes it crashes, but not so often.

Submitted

Fun puzzle game,  here are some thoughts..

  • I couldn't find how to rotate the items as I see you've done in the screenshots, some instructions would be nice. 
  • The game goes black if you fall into the water on the first level, it doesn't reload.
  • I believe you've set the resolution too high, I usually do 1280x720 for WebGL games and then players can use the full screen button if they want to play in full screen.

Good job for such short game jam 👍

Developer

Ah I did 1920x1080. As for instructions, There is an instructions button in the main menu, but I guess it wasnt quite clear (little book in the corner). Weird that the game doesnt reload on the first level... huh. Thanks for playing!

I think there is some problem with your resolution and stuff cuz when i go fullscreen some of the game is getting cut off.

I thought the puzzles were creative, but I feel like I cheesed some of them lol
