How does your game fit the theme?
In this reversed putt-putt game you have almost no control over the putt, but you have control over lil' scoocher bugs in the course itself who will help you guide the ball to the hole!

this broke my fingers. i love the concept but holy moly my brain is much too slow for that xD

This was bananas. Not sure how much I really enjoyed playing it, but it was definitely interesting to figure out how best to scooch. Well done coming up with something I never thought I needed in my life.

Submitted

Haha love the creativity with the controls! Hard though, but fun for sure! 

Submitted

Cool game!

Quite a tactile control scheme. Did not feel as though there was a putter besides me with regard to the actual gameplay of it. Could have been interesting trying to do much the opposite to really land on the theme. Play the little bugs that try and scooch the ball out of the path of the hole the real golfer tries to target.  Nice putting game at present.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! To fit the theme I originally planned to have the initial putt be done by a really sloppy AI, and then you'd do the scooching from there. Unfortunately that just wasn't as fun to play as the current implementation. I'm not sure if that's a design issue or an implementation issue, I'd like to do some more tests but it takes so much time and effort lol. I like your idea, it would take some really good course design to make it difficult for you to stop the ball from going in the hole that I'm not sure I could do.

I really struggled with the control scheme :( sorry 

Developer

No problem, thank you for giving it a try still! Trying to teach how the control scheme works was a huge challenge and if I had more time I'm sure it could be done better.

Super interesting concept and fun to play! I love how well-made the "tutorial" / helping graphics are. 

Submitted

Really fun to play! The weird controls make it really fun, not only is it challenging but it feels great.

The movement is not conventional but it feels awesome, really good job!

Submitted

Controlling the game is enjoyable, but the roles are not reversed. The player still scores the ball and directs its movement.

I appreciate the ability to control the ball mid-hit, which enhances its strength and role in the game's design. 

Overall, great job on the mechanic and controls concept.

Man, those controls! Very cool!

Very creative and calming game! I really like the idea and the name is cool too!

Submitted(+1)

The controls are pretty cool actually. Once you kind of get the direction sense of it, it's not too shabby. The game is relaxing and well polished, in my opinion. Very cool!

difficult control scheme but i really enjoyed being able to turn the ball while it was still in motion

Damn! Highly Presentation, I shouldn't suffer alone, everyone should come and give it a try!

What a great experimental idea! It took me some time to wrap my brain around it, but it was super cool once I did.

This game was really fun and enjoyable, you got me with the easy input

Developer(+1)

Haha I actually planned to make that mode real, but I ran out of time. Glad you had fun, thanks for playing :)
