Most fun I have had with mini-golf in a while

The game is fun, but as some have said it can get a bit boring, but I get you, I'm making a roguelike as well and making levels is very time consuming. But i don't understand the advantage of having a high level score. Maybe adding a shop and currency system would be helpful.

Overall a great game and great concept, can't really criticize that much because i couldn't create much myself due to time contraints.

Developer

Yep a shop was planned originally but I ran out of time :D The level score would have fed into the currency system to encourage you to do better :)

It's very original and fun to play. But it's want clear for me that holes transfer you to the next stage, I thought I should have been avoiding it and spent some time trying to find exit on the first stage)

Developer

That makes sense, I probably should have put some kind of message in those rooms :D

That game goes on forever! Especially if you make poor shots like I do. :-)

I loved playing it. I might've appreciated enemies a little sooner but I'm glad they showed up. 

Thanks for a great game, James!

Very unique game! Love the concept! Fun game!

I went through all the rooms and didn't spot enemies. Is that expected?

Apart from that, it was fun chill golfing game. Really liked the sounds you chose. 

Don't feel that the roguelike part of the theme was well integrated.

Player looking at the mouse while moving feels a bit weird to me.

Looks like a complete game :)

Really good, loved it. i've got stuck on the other side of the wall once i finished hitting a ball close to it XD but besides this bug the game is really fun ^^

This came out so nice! 
...and even teached me that I'm bad at golfing xD

Found a bug where the player just got shot outside the bundaries of the game and had to restart tho, too bad xD

Sweet game!!! Really liked the blending of the these two very different genres! I only wish the combat and the golfing was a little more intermixed.

Developer(+1)

I agree, that was in the plans but there just wasn't enough time :) You can hit the enemy with a ball which gives you an extra shot for that room but it's not very clear in the game :)

Submitted

Oh I totally didn't notice the extra shot! Neat! I also wasn't sure the penalty for hitting over par.
