This is a great game, very clean style. I love the custom cursor with the soundeffects, makes for a unique and satisfying game! good work!

If golf was like this, I would win all the time

High score 453. Is that good, haha? I love the twist of being a bullet hell but the bullets slow down onto the screen and collide with others. Makes for some nice planning of where to hide from incoming bullets, etc.

Developer

From what scores I've seen so far, over 400 is a good high score after some attempts.
Really great scores are over 600, and insane scores are over 1000 :D (I achieved that only once during balance testing, but it is possible.)

Bullet hell golf haha. Pretty un take on the theme, I enjoyed it. My high score currently is 541. The game is simple and easy to grasp, but it gets really fun and hard when the field fills up. I think having the balls ricochet was also a wonderful addition and really added to the experience.  Presentation wise the game is excellent and that initial menu/main screen was very unique and memorable. I dont really have much feedback, the game was well executed. Now if you will excuse me ive got more not golfing to do.

I love how chaotic this game gets

great game! This is by far the best execution of this idea I have seen so far. well done! Also I love that menu idea.

(+1)

This is such a funny idea, I love it! Controls were very smooth, the idea was very clear, and overall the game was intuitive and enjoyable! The only thing I wish was that there had been something more to it after a while. Maybe "environmental" shenanigans (e.g., squirrels or rabbits chewing up the "course", reducing playable space, or golf carts "driving" over previously at-rest balls to make more chaos)?

Either way, you've got a great, addicting game on your hands, good work (: 

Developer

Great feedback, thanks! I agree that it has very few simple elements at play and could have more fun stuff as a round progresses.
My jam ToDos included collectable power ups / actions (more in the direction of helping the player manage the amount of balls on the green). But as it is, time ran away faster than anticipated :D

Very good game, it gives you a lotof time to react and it increases the difficulty constantly by leaving some balls in the circle. I love it.

Also *cough* *cough*...  NICE


(I promise I didn't do it on purpose)

Nice, simple and short game. The golf balls stopping on the green as an obstacle was a novel idea. Love it, great job.

cute and simple funny game, the golfers must be very angry cause I got:

Submitted(+1)

Very simple mechanics and I love how to gets progressively harder, SFX are satisfying and the music is very catchy! If I could give you a suggestion it would be to add a mode where you try to catch as many golf balls as you can instead of avoiding them! it would be fun to play after the jam is done :D


Developer(+1)

Thanks for the suggestion! Would name that mode "One for All" :D 
But I probably won't update the game further. It was great fun for the jam though.

Submitted

Alright it's your choice, just wanted to give you some ideas haha, good luck on the game jam then!

Submitted(+1)

I like your game! Also the sound effects are very satisfying:D

Submitted(+1)

This was really well done! Reminds me a bit of the dodging attacks from Undertale. I also really like how the golf balls collide with each other and bounce around.

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun -- I enjoyed playing it! It is well rounded and very polished, and I'm glad I got to play it!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Simple, but fun game! Definitely gets a lot more challenging once the balls start getting stuck on the green...

Submitted(+1)

Very simple idea! Great minds think alike:tm:

(+1)

very interesting idea, its executed really well, the sound effects are nice. the scoring system seems a bit arbitrary. maybe you get a point for each ball you miss?

Developer

It is based on time. Every 10th of a second you get a point. 

I agree it is a bit arbitrary. The first plan was to show seconds passed till hole in one, but my brain kept saying "Bigger score, bigger fun" :D

lol true 

Submitted(+1)

Simple mechanic but perfectly executed ! Here's my highest score :D

Submitted(+1)

Love the idea, fun to play!

Submitted(+1)

😂 An extremely clever take on the theme! The game was genuinely enjoyable, and everything felt smooth and polished. Definitely a great candidate for the Enjoyment rating!
