Cool narrative, pleasant visuals. A little bit challenging if you have no experience in similar games. Would have been nice if it has restart button on the Game Over screen.  

Developer

Thanks so much for playing. We didn't intend for it to quite as challenging as it ended up but ran out of time to fix that. ;) Great suggestion and feedback. Thanks.

The art and humor kept me smiling, and the polish (like cutscene skips) made the whole experience smooth.

Literally no notes! lol

If I had to, I would say that the camera continuing to follow the previous projectile while I was aiming a different projectile made aiming a bit difficult, but this is really well done! I loved the humor and simplicity of the idea. Excellent work!

WOW!! I d like to play it on Steam actually
The dialogues are awesome and the fact that you can resque a teddie bear is just amazing! Love your game. Hope to see you selling it on all platforms some day

The atmosphere is really amazing. It’s set in space, but gravity sure gives you a headache haha. I had fun!

If you had told me a day ago that my (so far) favorite jam entry this year would be "Golf with your Bolts" on a spaceship... And yet, here we are! The art is fantastic, the writing is hilarious (and I learned a new science term!), and the gameplay is just fantastic! Sure, it would be nice if there could be something like resetting bolts that get too far from their target or get stuck in frustrating places, but nothing seemed totally impossible to recover, and my only real complaint is that I wish there was more of this! I'd play the heck out of it! Awesome work y'all!

Also, bonus points for including a intuitive "Skip Cutscene" and "Restart" keybinds. They definitely helped when I lost my first run to the last bolt, and just added to the overall feeling of polish on this entry :)

Super fun, great art, and I like the narrative tied to it! I saw your other comment mentioning implementing a way to cancel an unwanted shot, which I also think would be a helpful addition! Y'all did an amazing job :)

Developer

Thanks so much for giving it a try and for the helpful feedback. :)

Story telling is solid. Now I truly understand what Kessler Effect really is. Game play is so satisfying. Music and artwork are well blend. Nice work.

really cool story, mechanics, and art! i’m amazed that this was made in 96 hours.

The controls were pretty intuitive, but I wish there was some feedback when I tried to swing while being too far away from a bolt, because it sort of confused me at the start, and felt like the game was being unresponsive until I realised.

also I wish there were a restart button :(

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our game. Great feedback. We did indicate that "R" will restart the game, however, we've been thinking it might have been nice (if we'd had the time) to have added button or mouse click to cancel an unwanted shot that was lined up. We made some changes late in development that seemingly and accidentally made the game a little more challenging than we had hoped but hopefully it's still a good time. :)

Thanks again for playing. :)

Oh by the time the game ended I forgot that I had read that you can press R sorry D:

Great game! I like the story and the music is good too. I just wish I was better at golf...

Developer

Aw, no worries! Glad you enjoyed! :)

Submitted

Very creative game. I wish I was better at golf because I can't seem to complete the round!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing. :)

Nice looking game!

The timer is superfluous
