This has legs, although it doesn't feel super novel. I'd strongly suggest neatening up the controls in terms of what the ball does, firstly to prevent the player from freely changing direction mid movement. You may want to explore the golf aspects more, such as sand traps or looking to mini golf for obstacles, or, add in special powers like giving the player a 'club' to put on the map to allow a redirect, have them be scored on hits/time/score etc for each level etc. I feel like I should be earning stars though. I enjoyed the game though, and mostly agree with the other comments.

[x/p from thread] This one is really hard for me, I think it really sets out what it does (being minimalistic, clean with a bit of pop, and very mobile friendly) but personally I thought it was a bit [i]too[/i] much of that stuff.  I don't think I ran into a single puzzle that I had to stop and think about, and what you see by the third level is what you'll see in all forty.  Maybe if it had some build up or some more interesting mechanics (kind of weird there's multiple deathtraps that act the same way) it'd be a real showstopper, because most of the aesthetics are there and it's very intuitive.  As it is it's an immediately appealing game which hit probably all it wanted to do but that unfortunately I found too rote.

Fun interpretation on a golf game which would work really well on mobile. Liked the clean art style and the level progression which eases the player into the rules and concept. Think the water would be nicer if it stood out a bit more but besides that I was really impressed at how much content and variety you were able to get in.

Thank you for the feedback!

- The idea is to make it for mobile platform only. As this is a prototype, it's released for Web Build. Improvement will surely be made in full release.

Hope you enjoyed the game. ^^

This would be nice for mobile.  Liked the minimalist graphics, and the sound design was good.  Only set back for myself is that it takes quite a while before levels get challenging, and earlier stages always only have 1 correct way to complete them.  Like it when these kind of games give me a few different ways to approach the puzzle.  Later levels felt better.  Liked this.  Thanks for making it!!!

- Regarding Level Design, as the game is Hyper Casual, it won't have much difficulty as per say. As it's a Casual Game, not a Puzzle game though difficulty would still increase a bit as level progresses. (up-to a limit)

Hope you enjoyed the game. ^^
