In what way does your game fit the theme?
The golf balls in my game are an example of "dynamical billiards." This is one of the simplest physical systems that exhibits chaos. In fact, some of the earliest notions of chaos theory in modern physics came from the theoretical study of "dynamical billiards."

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code from scratch. The art and music were compiled from two sources listed in the description of my page.

This was a neat little game with a lot of spirit. I've always love billiards style games and this definitely scratches that itch, but in a more chaotic way than normal. Great job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing :)

I feel like I have a soft spot for these kinds of games because I love mini golf and any golf-like mobile games, specially if they require a bit of strategy! At first I felt that spamming the balls (love your tagline by the way) would make it too easy but when you introduced the laser that destroys your balls it got really interesting.

Great entry!

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Nice idea of not having the player to reset the level if one shot was screwed. 

Had fun

I love the game concept. Hate the lasers lol as they take away from the chaos after a while. I loved the way the balls kept going. With that said i won one hole in one just by waiting for the ball to get the right angle on it's own. the only thing i would change is the aiming. It was hard to arm in this game and once you get to the laser levels it becomes crucial to aim correctly. Over all this game has mass potential just fix the aiming a lot. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! If I keep working on the game in the future I am definitely planning to change/remove the laser levels. I will try to fix up the aiming mechanic as well. :)

Developer

This game is cool! Being able to shoot as many balls as you want is a unique but simple mechanic that reminds me of the good old flash game days. Good job!

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing :)

made me cry

I loved this - really fun game! I enjoyed the music, though after a while I would have liked to hear a different track to mix it up. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm hoping to mix up the music if I keep working on the project in the future!

I like the simple art style and the general vibe of the game, but some of the levels were difficult and felt more luck based (a lot of spamming the same spot waiting to get the key on level 8 for example). I think this game shines in the simple levels because of the timer mechanic. I liked it a lot and played it three times, good job :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I completely agree about some of the levels being too luck based/hard, especially holes 7 and 8. I was hoping to rework them, but ran out of time. If I keep working on the game in the future, I will definitely scale those back a bit.

This game was really fun! i really liked the spin on golf games, and it felt really chaotic.

Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Loved the concept and it is very well executed! Level design is also very well done.


It would be great if you could also rate my game :)

Well made a game of very common mechanic.

Plas for the theme, but a minus for no reset button.

Submitted(+1)

A nice twist on a classic game. Also, well done on the less obvious interpretation of the theme.

The artstyle is simple, but nice. The game got considerably more difficult when lasers got involved, but I suspect that’s the case with regular golf as well. Played it twice and got the times 255 and 169 respectively. It would’ve been nice to have an option for lowering or muting the audio, since the default audio levels are usually quite loud. Otherwise, well done! 😊

Developer

Thanks for playing! I added audio last minute and didn't really know what I was doing haha. I will definitely be more careful with volume in the future!

Really good game but i couldn't get past hole 8.

Submitted(+1)

Wow! Very neat concept, I honestly didn't expect anyone to come up with an idea that included golf :D . It was pretty fun, and the only complaint I have is that there isn't a volume slider, and the game blasted my ears, but that's all. Nice job! :)

Developer

Sorry about the volume! This was my first time adding audio to a game, and I think I overlooked some of the details haha. Thank you for playing!
