Thank you all for the great comments when we submitted this entry! 


We developed the game into a mobile game and is available at Play Store now !

Wow! I wasn’t expecting the little astronaut jumping around after my first score, since it was covered by the ship, very cute! :)

Good physics and aesthetics, the levels feel very similar though, you probably ran out of time to create more variety of mechanics, I totally understand.

Well done overall!

Thanks! We are making a full version of the game, you can check it out on the game page devlog!

Really loved the game! this was actually our first idea which we didn't know how to get beyond just shooting around the moon, which you solved really nicely!

Thank you very much!

Browser version wouldn't work for me, but the download version did. Fun golf mechanics, but I think the levels could use more variety. Enjoyed it nonetheless! Good job!

Thanks! We are doing a mobile version with more features!

Thanks!

Cool game! Could of been longer or split in more levels! But for a jam just perfect, with the right difficulty! Find my gameplay below:

Thanks! Yeah it could have more levels, but also we are continuing the development and will release on Android!

Interesting and polished game. Is there an issue with the browser version? Tried in Firefox and didn't work. Good job anyways !

Thanks! To be honest i'm nor sure it's just a simple 2D game i'm not even using post processing or anything, I will have to look at that because more people are having problems running even on Chrome.

I always have a good time playing a golfing game, and this was no exception. There was one shot that was extremely difficult to do, but I don't mind a bit of difficulty in these games! I would love to play even more levels in the future if you ever decide to develop this game some more!

Thanks! Well the comments are very nice so far so I'm very tempted to make more levels haha

This is the second space golf game I tried. I like the graphics (the glowing moons and colors), the "music" felt repetitive and annoying. The shots were easy except for one on the third level that felt impossible, haha. I expected the golf ball to bounce a little more, but I guess that's not how you intended the game to be (perfect hole-in-1?). It's a bit on the short side, but that works for me.

Could not get it to run in the browser, but the download works fine. Thanks.

A fun and short game. Nice.

I had to move the window arround to get enough room to charge the shoot.

I found the starting holes of the levels getting a bit repetative. Maybe some obstacles to overcome in later levels. Or some items that can be collected by hitting them.

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice little game, with a simple but coherent style. I'd just tune friction (many many times the ball stopped rolling just before reaching the flag... let it roll more or give players successive shots, with par system maybe?), and hitting power: in browser I had an hard time to transition between moon because I couldn't drag the cursor far enough.
The graphic at first seems as simple as it gets, but it can grow on you creating a relaxing experience, despite interrupted roll frustrations. The rocket zooming in at the start and the little astronaut following the ball from shot to shot are a really nice touch.

Thank you! You are right, the friction isnt perfect, we hope we can fix that and maybe do other things on this project, it was a cool idea.

Cool game! I love the astronaut’s little jump to get to the next flag :)

I would have liked for my little astro-person to maybe go where the ball stopped rather than having to re-take my shot.

It's pretty good. I played to the end.  I liked the graphics the best. I think the mechanic got a little boring on its own, but it was well executed in the game so I gave a good score.

Fun mechanic! I really enjoyed trying to figure out the perfect angle to curve the shots with gravity. It took a while to figure out but after that I got the hang of it and got better at it. The artwork is really good and the music fits very nicely, although I wish there was different music for each level. I also liked the level progression of having multiple planets, I can imagine there being more levels in the future with more obstacles and opportunities for trick shots. Great work! Hope you keep working on this game, it has a lot of potential.

Short and fun. Good job :)

Very nice game! Easy to learn, hard to master :)

Like one of the other comments say, it would be a perfect mobile game. Hope you add more levels and release it on f-droid after the jam!

Yeah thats a good idea! Thanks!

Graphics and mechanics are Awesome. Overall its a fun game.

What a chill game.  It would be perfect to play on an pad.  Thank you for not keeping track of the number of shots it took me for each hole!

If you like platformers, please try my game.

Of course! Thank you!

Nice moony golf game. The art style is nice and pleasant although the shot indicator is hard to see when the moon is white. The music loop got a little repetitive though. 

Thanks!
