How does the game fit the theme?
You have to take risks to beat the AI and also win the biscuits :D

Very glitchy but that only makes it feel even more like playing old flash mini-golf games back on Miniclip and Newgrounds. Very cool and nostalgic little experience, thanks for making this.
Haha, thanks. Since I had very little time (around 2 days) on my hands, I tried something simple but fun. Glad you liked it.
With the goal of beating the ai by 1 stoke, it doesn't feel like taking risks. It felt more like finding the solution to a puzzle. Each level having different mechanics was really fun to figure out how to beat the ai.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback. To beat the AI, you mostly have to complete the level in an unintended way, and I found it harder than the AI’s route, which is why I said it involves taking a risk.
Loved playing the game! The concept of sacrificing safety for style, taking risks to beat the AI and win your biscuits is fun and refreshing. The 12 levels each bring unique mechanics that really challenge you to think creatively!
Thank you so much, spent a lot to make different mechanics and make the game more entertaining. Glad you enjoyed.
Cool game, simple but effective. I'm not too sure about the theme but otherwise it's nice, good levels overall, good job!
Thanks, glad you liked the game. You have to take a risk to find a better move instead of a nearly guaranteed one.
rage quited after trying tones of time in this level. i really liked how ai literally tells us what we shouldn't do to pass the level :D. the ball physics were a bit annoying but it works well with level designs. good job!
Nooo its the final level, cmon, you can do it! Als,o thanks for playing, glad you liked it. (As a hint, try to bounce the ball from the right wall at the first shot)
thanks for the hint, it was ez btw
so simple and so nice, I loved it.
Thank you
167, 6th place on leaderboard so far.
Really enjoyed it, the level layouts were mostly good, a couple frustrated me but I guess that's kind of the point.
Nice game!
Yeah, I tried making some of them difficult. Thanks for playing! Also, congrats on your score
Very fun game ! good concept, food level design, clean functionning game, congrats that's a solid jam entry !
Thanks so much, Glad you enjoyed the game!! :)
I played your game and i find it really fun, The music is nice, i like the color palettes and the minimalistic graphics.
I like the aspect of gameplay where you have limited amount of shots (i think that's the theme part). A bit on the nose tho with the theme, but keep up the good work ^^
Thanks, glad you liked the game. Yes, my theme interpretation was to take risky shots to pass (there is always a shorter path than the AIs). So the limiting the player was to force you to take those risky shots rather than choosing the safe path.
Really cool game! The theme of risk is very applicable to this game as it’s a golf game, so I thought that that worked very well. The music I thought was very nice and the levels are designed well enough for it to be challenging (and risky with certain angles) but for it not to be too difficult. This is the first golf game I have seen so pretty unique too out of the jam interpretations. Great job!
Wow, thanks for the positive feedback and calling my game unique :D I’m really glad to see another person who didn’t find the game really hard. Also, thanks, I tweaked the levels a lot to make them have different angles and mechanics to pass, and tried making them as unique as possible.
Very fun! The last level was a bit difficult, but after several attempts, you can get it right
It's well balanced!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the gameplay. It’s surprising to see someone saying it’s well-balanced after people got stuck on specific levels (which are also hard in my opinion)
There are some levels that are pretty hard but not impossible, I think
When I started realizing I could make the ball bounce off the walls, I tried out different possibilities, and that’s also what I find fun about the game.
You try a shot, then reset (it’s just a bit repetitive having to skip the AI every time when doing that, haha)
Yea that was what I was trying to go for, to bounce at different angles and find new solutions. Also thanks for the feedback. I might just remove the AI after playing it once, then…
Fun game! I have not figured out how to beat the level with the elevator right before the portal, but I'll have to try it again!
Showing the AI play before you do is both a great way to set par, but also hint at what the player can do better in order to beat them! Great idea :)
Hey, thanks so much for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the game. I think you are referring to Level 11 (which is the hardest one, I might nerf it a little). There is a small window that you can throw the ball at the portal and finish it with a single move. For Level 12, all I can say is that you should try bouncing the ball…
Really fun! I'm last place on the leader board right now, but I'll definitely be coming back to beat it later!
GGs, at least you are one of the top victors, which is an achievement by itself! Hope you can have the score you want soon :D
Nice concept, but I wasn't able to beat one of the levels
The levels I was able to play were fun tho :)
Thanks a lot. I’m hearing that the levels are a bit difficult. Can you tell me which level you were stuck on so I can adjust it a bit? Your progress is saved so you can continue whenever you want or try from the start by resetting!
Nvm, I tried again and was able to beat the level I was struggling with
Pretty cool concept, I liked it, reminds me of Flappy Golf! Simple and cool level design, really makes you think outside the box. Though I straight up think this level is impossible lol, unless I'm being dumb. Which is a shame cause I would've liked to try the other levels shown in the screenshots!
Hey, first of all, glad you liked the game and the design. And secondly, you can pass that level by throwing the ball not too hard and try not to hit the ceiling or hit the far right so the ball wouldn’t stop from the friction of the ceiling.
Golf games are always fun.
Yep, definitely. Thanks for playing
I like golf games the controls were really good and the game is really polished. However the game is really hard though
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed. Can you tell me which levels you found hard? Also, you can always come back and keep trying; the game saves your progress!
