Love the idea of a golf platformer! One recommendation I have would be to allow the user to zoom out and get a better view of the level. Good start!

That was a good idea haha i enjoyed this game overall

Cool idea, the concept is unique and has real potential. Main feedback I would give is more tutorialisation, giving the player more information, e.g. where the goblin starts, and also it's really important to make the artstyle cohesive which can be done by ensuring all pixels are the same size and you stick to a colour palette.

(Also there was some lag when new objects spawned in for the first time, you can fix this by using PRELOAD instead of LOAD)

Definitely unique, though it needed player direction.

Clicked on it for the golf. Unique concept for sure. Took a while to get used to but I enjoyed it.

Golf games UNITE! Took a bit to understand what was going on, but once I got it, this was a pretty neat idea! Nice work!

This is a really cool idea! Trying to hit your ball so it's close it where your goblin is to make your route faster. A very interesting concept! My suggestion would to add the ability to pan the camera around the level before hitting the golf ball. So the player has a chance to plan their route, or try for interesting paths.
