Really polished game! I love all the graphics and sound effects as they work together really nicely, and the music is fitting . Gameplay is fun since it's satisfying to lock a screw in and see it slowly move into place. Something to consider:

- Totally missed the restart button and skip cutscene button so many those could be placed in the UI somewhere?

- Some of the angles you need to hit are quite difficult, especially with the timer. I'd suggest easing the difficulty some or letting the timer expire, but not force you to lose. That way I can keep trying to win even if I'm really slow lol

Otherwise, this was a really great entry and fun to play! I see you plan on making some changes after the jam, so I'm looking forward to seeing them! Congrats on your submission!

Edit: Just replayed it and finished it! Really great stuff, I think the first time I was just bad haha

Developer

Great Feedback. For sure ideas we'd like to implement with more time. :) Thank you for your thoughtful comments, and thanks so much for playing!

The golfing mechanic really feels polished and I like the animation of the bolts too, the only issue I noticed is that the bullet prediction could might be a bit off, or maybe I'm just a bad player haha

Developer(+1)

So fair. We're definitely gearing up to adjust that after the jam. Thanks so much for playing it! :)

All around a great game. Enjoyed all the funny dialogue. Firing the bolts felt really good. Great art and music.

Developer

really enjoyed the narrative up front. the music was delightful, and the golf mechanic is fun just to whack things, even if i had a hard time getting them where they needed to go! very polished work.

Developer

Thanks so much, and thanks for playing! :)

First game I played with a narrative shown in the game with dialogue and nice jokes! made me chuckle very charming! The game is also insanely polished and visually pleasing!

Developer(+1)

This is actually well made but that top right HOLE I CANT SHOOT MY BOLTS LMAO HAHAHAH and I lost becuz of it frick that hole Anyway Love the Game tho Awesomely Done!

Developer(+1)

Yeah sorry :( I take responsibility. I ran out of time for one of my planned features — shot prediction. Either we needed to get that in, or make the top right hole easier. 

Hopefully you can complete the game with the post-jam build!

Submitted(+1)

HOLY (because you shoot it in a hole LMAO) ANYWAY WOW YOU ALREADY MADE PREDICTIONS! Thank you for improving this game even more <3

It’s a very well done game, but I did cause a softlock :( image.png

Developer(+1)

Oh thanks for catching that! We’ll try to fix that after the jam :)

Submitted(+1)

All in all, it was an awesome game! I was sad to get stuck haha. You guys did a great job :)

Developer

I loved your game ! It's fun, the little story is cool, I like the music, the gameplay is cool. Nah this game is so good !

Submitted(+1)

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.

Submitted(+1)

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

Submitted(+1)

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

Submitted(+1)

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 :)

Developer

this is a really nice comment. Thank you for playing
