Congrats on finishing a game! I enjoyed playing through all the levels. I feel like golfing games are classic and I like your Nokia 3310 take on it. I wasn't able to figure out what the rotating dots around the ball do. I thought it might be wind or something. They added a small layer of confusion trying to locate my cursor sometimes. I think when I select a level after initial completion to reduce my score it should take me back to the menu, otherwise it auto moves to the next level and resets that score to zero. I also appreciate the care you put into the collision system, it feels goodo. If the ball was catching on corners and what not that would be a whole different experience. Great job and thanks for participating!
Really Fun Game I Didn't Understand It At First But After A While I Figured It Out! The Game Is Really Fun And I Love That The Physics Work As They Do Because When I So Golf I Didn't Know How You Would Do The Physics
I think it'd be more fun if the cursor had a predefined starting point in each hole rather than just staying where it is. Having to travel back across most of the screen is a hassle. Also, I'm not sure if the rotating dots matter at all. It'd also be nice to have markings for the power meter, especially where the power meter ends.
Regarding the overall design, I think having the player actually move would work better if there was a golfer sprite above the cursor. It might be difficult to get the golfer to look like they're swinging, but even just a simple still image would give more the feeling of actually being there in a minigolf course. When it's this abstract, I'm left wondering why the game doesn't just let me choose an angle on a nice big circle.
Thank you for the feedback, I will consider it in a future update, however I will probably not change up how the controls work in principle, but your ideas about a golfer sprite and marker for the power meter's end will likely get added, I can tell you that much :)

Thank you for the feedback! The rotating dots were indicating where your ball was, they had no gameplay effect at all.
Neat golf game! I included it in my Nokia 3310 Jam 4 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you very much!

I really like the simplicity of this, and the cute sound effects :)
Thank you very much :)
