You control 1 golf ball tethered to another - the goal is to move the other golf ball by smacking into it and getting it to the goal

This is a really good game! We love it! Unfortunate about the bug, but that happens sometimes when jammin'. The only improvement we can think of is that we'd like an arrow pointing to the direction of the goal! Overall a super nice game!
Thank you! I really like that idea, I think I'll add it to the fixed version :D
I really liked the game, the visuals, the artstyle and the music! Only problem were the crashes, but other than that I greatly enjoyed my time! Having time-attack and par modes was a nice addition.
Great job!
Thanks! Par was actually a last minute addition, but honestly I think it's my favorite of the 2 modes
Really enjoyed playing. Crashes are understandable, it was made in 48 hours. The graphics are awesome too. Simple mechanic, hard execution
Thank you :D
Aside from the crashes, the game is beautiful and the sound design is nice. It would probably be easier to control with a controller or the mouse, nice game tho and the mechanic is interesting.
Thank you :) I'll definitely be adding gamepad support, and experimenting with mouse control
Aside from the crashing, this game is extremely polished! Even the menus feel good to use.
Thank you!
With the crashes aside, this is a very cool game with amazing graphics! Mechanics are flush and working so well.
This can very well be a 2 player game.
Glad you ended up with that main menu design :)
Thank you! I'm super bummed about the crashes, and kicking myself for not adding a level select at the beginning, but I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
What are your thoughts for making it 2 player?
Don't stress yourself about it! You've done a great work on it!
For 2 player game, either blue/red golf balls can be the win condition, but let them be controllable with WASD / Arrow keys respectively. It can be a fun casual game to play with friends!
Unfortunately as mentioned, the crashes make this a little too hard to persevere with. But from what I played it seemed interesting, I like the artwork and the theme of golf + pinball.
I'm really disappointed in the crashing, but glad you enjoyed it :)
I figured out the issue, but too late to update the game sadly. I believe I have an in game work around if you want to try again before I can officially update it.
Of course, what do I have to do?
Crashing seems to happen when the in level timer reaches 2 minutes. If you play in "Time Attack" you can see the timer, then pause the game before it reaches 2 minutes and select "Retry" to reload it
For me the crash is occuring almost immediately
Well there goes that theory. It was pretty reproducable for me, but that is unplayable. I am so sorry.
Also I just noticed the pun in the name. Nice!
cool games although the controls are a bit tough to learn. Enjoyed the theme tho was a pretty cool idea of a game!
Thanks :D when I can update it, I'm definitely adding joystick controls. Maybe mouse, will see how that feels.
fun! i agree with some other comments that the arrow controls are a little goofy and it'd be cool to see further in the direction you're aiming but smacking your balls together feels great (don't take this out of context PLEASE) and i appreciate the time attack mode so you can just go at it without strategizing too much
Now that I've got some distance I totally agree. When building it I didn't see it as an issue, but when I can update it I'm definitely adding gamepad and maybe mouse controls. And I'm thinking some zoom out based on how stretched the balls are..
The moving walls were a cheap shot! Pun intended. You can't see further, so no aiming for the sweet spot where and when the balls will flight to the hole. Moving with the arrows is frustrating. It is possible to hit the ball from every angle, but it is annoying to try and hit in the right angle at the right time.
Agreed - when I can update I'm gonna add gamepad and maybe mouse control, and some zoom out when you stretch
Love the concept. Did miss some way to graduately control (with a mouse and dragging or something). The arrows felt a bit too direct. Could never finish within the par :P
Par is definitely possible for each level, though I probably should have been more forgiving ^^;
I'm gonna add gamepad and maybe mouse support when I can, gotta figure out how that will play though
Very creative take on the theme and quite unique ! Love the art of the game btw ;)
Thank you!
Love this one, it's unique, fun to play and I love the aesthetic. Give it mouse controls and it would be the perfect game! Definitely one of my favourites of the jam.
(I crashed on level 5)
Thank you! I think I have a work around for the crashing if you want to try again. Also, how would you envision mouse controls working?
I think for mouse controls it'd be click and drag the blue ball into position and then release to fire it off. If you've got a less crashy version then I'd definitely be up for playing it!
I'll play around with that when I've got some time.
I've got it fixed, but can't post it here till after the jam per the rules. In game, the crashing seems to happen when the timer gets to 2 minutes in a level, so you should be able to pause and retry the level before this happens. You can see the timer in "Time Attack" mode, it's not visible in "Par" but it's still running.
This is top notch. Takes a concept I've seen so many times in this game jam and made something fresh and fun out of it. Looking forward to seeing this fleshed out more!
Thanks! I'm definitely fixing some things post jam, and depending on how well it does I'm very open to adding more levels and obstacles :D
Having made a golf game myself I thought we would have had similar ideas. I was wrong. What you came up with was different that what I had. Your game is fun and looks great. Good Job!
Thanks! I've seen a few golf games myself, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When I started building this it was not going to be like golf at all haha
Very cool take on the theme, very fun! The crashing is a bummer. Big jump in difficulty from the 3rd to the 4th level, at least for me.
Haha rest assured they are all completable in the target par and time, though that one could've done with a better ramp up. Really wish I knew what caused the crashing, it seems to just be a unity player bug since everything runs fine in the editor.
awesome concept, and great music as well as sound effects! It was sometimes difficult to see whether the balls or the world was moving in the levels with moving world objects, but still a very fun twist on the theme.
Thank you :) I agree, it gets a bit tricky to tell what's going on at times, probably need to revisit the background and wall graphics to make that clearer
Very well done. Love the concept.
Thank you!
Really nice!
Thanks :)
