Fun game to play, original idea and I thought the orbital mechanics were great!

Submitted

This is a very creative game, requires some concentration and patience but totally rewarding once you get just the right angle. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback :)

Submitted

Wow this was really cool. Lots of detailed mechanics, nice graphics and sound. Controls were sweet, I think it was well polished all around.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it :)

Have had a lot of fun playing with this, the challenge keeps building in a satisfying way and the fact that there is even a level editor is amazing! Using it, I made a kitty. Good job making such a lovely game!

Developer(+1)

That kitty is awesome!!!

Thanks so much for playing  and your feedback! (And for posting your creation, this means a lot :))

I really liked the game. You can tell that it was made with love. 

I would have liked that you could trigger the charging and the god power with the mouse buttons.

Congratulations on this super game.

Developer

Thanks for playing.


We kind of went with the first controls that came to mind. But now that you point that out, we could have definitely invested some time to better figure out how people would like to control the game. Will keep that in mind for the next game :)

Pros:

+ Low learning curve for the player (I was hooked from the start)
+ Excellent physics-based gameplay
+ Cool artwork for the planets and the level
+ Fitting background music
+ THE LEVEL EDITOR!!!!!

Cons:
- Not that much of a fan of the designs of the Gods ad Goddesses

This is a hidden gem! A well polished game and fits the theme of the game jam!
Fantastic work!

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback!

Wowza…Well crafted commercial grade game here! Although I have seen a similar concept game in the submission entry which is to orbit the planet with a moon, but this game is to shoot right inside the blackhole with a bit of orbiting, therefore better interpretation of the theme “Moonshot”. It’s sympathetically designed for beginners in the first few levels as well!! Recommended to play!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked the game!

Great level design, sound and graphics! Such a great golf gaming experience! Top-notch level editor, amazing feature!

Well done!

A  well Implemented and challenging game.  it would be nice if you could indicate the gravity wells  and the boundaries of the visually in gameplay. I was mainly using fortuna's power to move things around  and couldn't see how far I could move things. 

Overall great Game! Having a level editor is great feature.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and your feedback!

Great to see so much level of polish in a gamejam entry, nice! The difficulty level rises nicely, the graphics are nice and the music albeit repetitive fits well. Having a level editor is a top level feature also. Good job! Glad to see lots of Godot games in this jam!

Developer

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for playing and your feedback!

One of the best mechanic in the whole game jam (but maybe I'm a bit impartial since I implemented something similar)! :-D 

I really liked the graphics and audio as well.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

Submitted

Wow, this game is addicting.  I ended up playing this quite a bit longer than I expected.  I'm really impressed with the number of levels.  I noticed you save persistent data as well so that I can continue later - something that not many game jam games do (mine included).

If you like platformers, please check out our game - Lumi and the Dark Night.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the nice feedback. It means a lot to us :)

Submitted

A well implemented game in such a short time. And so many levels!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game. 

Once we got the level editor going, designing levels got addictive :).

Submitted

I really liked your game. The later levels got very hard. :D
Level XV ... is that a ... oh ... rocket?! :D

That level editor is nice.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game. It is actually a lot easier to design difficult levels than it is to design easy ones that are interesting to play. 

Of course that's a rocket! We are in space after all ;) 

Submitted

Nice game, really interesting concept!

Only the graphics could need a bit more love and the background music is too repetitive.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and thanks for the feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

Submitted

Wow, never thought that throwing the Moon into black holes would be so much fun! I haven't finished the game yet but might come back to it - there's even a level editor‽ Great level of polish for a jam entry.

The level design is really neat and of course the planet orbits + twists + golf mechanics are a great concept and a well-executed one. The Roman Gods as a setting is a nice touch, and I have yet to explore the powers of Jupiter and Mars :)

I'm looking forward to diving into the source to see how you implemented this nice physics-based gameplay :)

Developer

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback! Great to hear you had a good time with the game.


Just as a heads up: the code code is a bit messy in some places 🙈 

We managed to make the whole physics with Godots Area2D's Gravity Point feature. This worked suprisingly well. But if we had to do it again I think we would go for a custom implementation of the gravity (just for more flexibility).

Submitted

I liked you game very much, the mechanics and the Mitology touch.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! Glad you liked it :)

Submitted

Golf gameplay is always good fun and the funny greek gods theme works surprisingly well with that! I would have loved to see more of that theme used
Solid sound design too

Thanks a lot for playing. Glad you liked it :)

I love me a good golf-like game. I was hoping someone had made games like this.

Developer

Glad we had you covered :D 

Thanks for playing!

I really like the failure sound + effect. Really sure make you feel like you 'effed up!
