I love this game! I love playing things like golf and this is amazing!
a little bit hard in some parts but thats okay...

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

Amazing game, it is so satisfying to just pop off the head of a goblin and watch it fly away with those particle effects, one time I got stuck unable to hit the head away from the tee due to a build up of corpses. Still really fun though I completely missed par but thats what happens when you make missing so fun. the sound effects of the water are also lovely.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Tried to place bushes and grass in front of the player to avoid those situations (happened to me during playtesting as well), could be fixed by some code as well i guess, will fix it if I decide on a post-jam update!

Submitted

Amazing game! Although I shot something like 83+ on hole 18.. Might be neat to have an indicator for the shot like an Arc through the air so you can get a better idea of where it might land? Could then add some even more challenging levels like the castle where I had to knock another head in with a second head.

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Will try it out if I decide to do a post-jam update!

Extremely solid game, love the physics and how I can use my current head to knock in a previous head somehow. Good job!

Developer

Cheers!

This is a fun game! I really liked the goblin idea, nice use of the assets.

I'd just try to make the power selection less subtle. Does the power increase exponentially the longer you maintain pressed the mouse? Maybe it would feel better if the growth were more linear, not so exponential, that'd give users more control on the hit.

 I'd focus the difficulty of the game not so much on the user input but also on what's the correct stick to hit the goblin head, the right power, angle, etc. On my case if the main difficulty is on trying to hit one pixel more one pixel less is a little frustrating.

But overall it was a fun game, congrats!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it out and for the feedback! The power increases exponentially which makes it harder and gives it a different feel. Did some limited playtesting with linear power and decided on exponential. If I decide to make a post-jam version I'll definitely look into it.

Submitted

Maybe you should find the sweet spot between linear and exponential :)

Submitted

It is a really fun game, but I think it gets too hard too quickly.

Developer

Thanks for playing! It's hard, I can agree on that, might give it a balancing in a future update.

Very nice! Such a unique idea! I only wish the hit strength had a bar. it seemed hard to be consistent for me.

Developer

Cheers for playing and for the feedback! If I decide to update it I'll probably add a indicator for the last swing made to make it slightly easier.

Submitted

Very well made and charming golf game.  Everything feels great, just have a hard time getting used to how the power of the swing handles.   Overall excellent !

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! It's hard, somewhat on purpose. Will look it over!

Submitted

nothing wrong with hard, it was very enjoyable and addictive :D

Wow! You really amazed me with the feeling of the fully completed small old-school flash game.

What I really liked:

– Water with floating heads :)

– That you can complete a level by pushing the other head to the pole

– Cool level design, all levels were hard, but not frustratingly hard :)

– Different approaches to different levels

What can be improved:

– Provide small descriptions for each weapons  - it was hard to understand at first that they have different force effects

– Change order of the weapons - from the least vertical to the most vertical and choose the middle one as a default


P.S. Moat level, I hate you :D

Developer

Thanks a bunch for playing and for the feedback! I agree on both improvement points and they will definitely be implemented in a future update. P.S. Nice birdie on Gardens! 

Submitted

Cool golf game! I found it weirdly relaxing. As others said, by adding more levels and polishing it a bit could be a cool mobile game.

Developer

Cheers for checking it out! Might give a mobile port a go in the future.

Submitted

Golf games are best game

I think you can easily make this into a mobile game with polishing!
Art was pretty simple some tweaking could have done the game justice

My final verdict

8/10 (+5 points cause it's golf)

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! I also think the format suits mobile well.  Might be a future project to port it and polish more/add levels.

Submitted

Such a good vibes from this game! So awesome! Loved it! Great job!

Developer

Cheers!

This is one of those submissions that had me laughing all the way through, not too maniacally mind you

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you had fun!

This is clever! Looks like fun 😄. Note to self: play this soon

Submitted

Awesome game!

Developer

Cheers!

Cool idea, id like to be able to swing again from where the head lands.

Also, the mouse controls are a little hard for me on a trackpad, maybe add alternate keyboard controls?

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback. Was thinking about making it possible to swing where the head lands  (ike regular golf) but decided against this in regards to the time constraint. Alternate keyboard controls is great feedback! Will add it if i decide to update the game in the future. 

Submitted

Well played, pretty clever, I had a fun time

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!
