Great idea! Reminds me of Chevy Chase's character in Caddy Shack. "Be the ball... Nanananananananana..." Also, good choice of music. It's definitely a lunch break kind of game. Good for playing on stressful days. GREAT JOB!
NOTE: The browser version kicked my CPU/GPU fans up to 4500rpm on my 2015 MacBook Pro (i7 Quad Core 2.5GHZ, w/ 16GB DDR3 at 1600MHz, AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2GB of GDDR5). Something about it was taxing the system.
I really liked the inertia mechanic. It gave a fun element of strategy to the game
this is actually a really cool idea that is worth exploring further. congrats!
i feel like if you make it so the player can only control the ball while it's moving would make it even more interesting and you could design some sick levels around that :)
Cool game! I like how you limited the influence the player had on the ball.
I like the name and the idea behind it. Maybe if you had to move the hole and avoid the chasing ball, the theme would shine more.
The camera is cheeks, but I liked the idea of the game.
I liked this! Reminds me of Super Monkey Ball and Mojo. The one critique I have is the camera after you get the hole in one, since it goes into the level geometry. Should be an easy enough fix, though!
Relaxing Game, but the camera is too close to the ball.
Fun! I liked the relaxing vibes as I struggled to get my hole in ones.
Difficult game but I enjoyed it!
The energy bar makes the game challenging so you have to be pretty precise.
The camera control was a bit unresponsive or inaccurate which may lead to people leaving the game but I think that's the main issue, the rest of the game is fun!
Nice!
Nice concept with the golfball the initial hit is a bit intimidating and the camera does also play against the player^^ but 3d cameras are always hard.
it would be nice if you get a little stage complete screen instead of the ball just sitting in the hole with the camera wierding out. Maybe also show the swing and give the player a little time to see the level first.
Nice idea and execution, would have enjoyed it a lot more if I wasn't fighting the camera
Great job with your first 3d game!
I Like That Game... It Does Feel A Hard On Some Level Due To The Stamina Being So Low And Limited... In Between The First And The Second Level There Is A Huge Skill Curve.
Yeah, unfortunately we didn't have time for balancing the game. This is something we'd like to improve in the game after the jam ends.
I guess know I know, why I am so bad at golf. The ball does its own thing. :D But the game is very relaxing.
Loved the cozy feel. i would of 100% played more levels if they were available.
I loved the basic mechanic, it feels like it has so much potential to create interesting physicsy almost puzzle levels. Only constructive criticism I would give is that some objects like the boost pads are a little hard to spot - some glow or other means of making them show up a bit better could go a long way. Good job! :)
Love the music, very minecraft-esque
Really cool and relaxing, I like the idea of being a golf ball, I like the mechanics like would be nice to see what would happen if there where more levels, but great concept! Hope you make more of this!
Thank you! Yeah, we would also like to have more content in the game, but we didn't manage to make them in the limited time. We hope to work on this project after the jam, so stay tuned for some updates.
