Great game! This was really fun to play around with and try to go for Hole in 1s!

Good job!

Really nice first jam game! Interesting mechanics, it felt kind of minigolf with extra twist. The last level was quite tricky, but I finally got through it :D Maybe there is a story behind using those graphics but in my opinion top-down perspective with simpler art style would also work well with this kind of game :) Also adding sounds/music would be great like Dev Mung already mentioned.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!
My skills lie in the programming department so making art myself would've taken me far too long to have been able to do in the 3 hour time limit, so I grabbed some stuff that others on itch had put up for free.

Doing top down is actually a very good idea lol

I understand. By simpler graphics I meant that the game could have a solid color background and the assets could just be flat shapes of different colors. It's very quick to do and takes just as much time as using a free assets. By using abstract simple shapes gives to the player more room for imagination. Here's a nice site for different color palettes to quickly pick compatible colors for your games https://lospec.com/palette-list Hope this helps with graphics :)

Very nice and creative idea with good execution. Some feedback:

  • The bricks and background don't mash well together in terms of artstyle.
  • Having sound always make a game better and not having it can really lowers your score at the end of the jam.
  • The reset level button at the top sometimes gets in the way of wanting to click the blocks it covers.
  • Good level design. However, I would change the first level to be something extremely easy to introduce the idea to the player.

Thank you! I mostly grabbed my art assets from others on itch, because I am but a lowly programmer with 0 art skills, so that's why the art style is so disparate.
I prioritized getting at least 5 levels down over adding sounds in the limited time I had.
