I did the design, coding, and graphics. Chris (@gruber_music) did the music and sfx. We've worked together before and it is always a pleasure!

No problem with the resolution. I rarely go above 128x128. :)

Wonderful entry (as always) - a cozy golf game, perfect for playing on a Sunday (as I did!)
Great gfx, mechanics and music (Chris!) - had a blast while scoring a "course worst" score! 😁

Beyond impressive! Everything about this game is just awesome. Can't even pinpoint any specifics :)

Lovely arcady golf game! I love the overall aesthetics of the game, the visuals, the audio, the gameplay it all just fits together so well.

It's great that you have different types of underground for the golfing itself and also for the golf cart. The destructible environment is a great little detail.

Some minor points for the gameplay I would have liked:

  • being able to influence the accuracy of long shots at least a little bit, for example doing first button press for the general direction and then for the shot a quick time event like for the putting
  • make the quick time event for putting easier, the closer you are to the hole - it felt like it didn't matter where you end up on the green as long as you end on it

Scored 44 points on the first playthrough btw.

Amazing work! This feels really polished. I especially love how the player affects the environment. Running into things is fun!

This game is pretty incredible! Very polished, feels great to play and manages to show so much in such a small resolution! Just great, well done!

I used to love mini golf games as a kid, and this definitely reminded me of them, and how many hours I spent trying to improve my high score, well done!

I absolutely loved the little details, the tire marks, the fact you can destroy the flag and the numbers, etc.

But seriously, why do you have to be sooooo mean on the green? I kept losing and losing and losing, it’s not fair 🤣

Love it, easily the best game I’ve played so far!

Really fun and polished game!
I liked the inclusion of golf carts.

Submitted(+1)

There's so much attention to detail here I love it! Being able to run over signs, driving my cart into the water and being surprised when my cart is ruined, seeing the tracks behind the golf cart, it's all amazing!

I remember you mentioning in a tweet how you got the cart to be 3D (using sprite stacking) and I want to say you totally nailed it, it looks great!

In general, the "3D" parts of this game feel so good. The way the ball's shadow tracks under the ball as it goes high in the air is really slick.

It took me more than a few tries on the first hole to realize that when on the green, you want to press X when the cursor is on the marked section, NOT the green section.

Gameplay-wise, at the start I had mixed feelings about what seemed to be a purely probabilistic golf game (move the circle farther, more probability for error, closer = more precise), but in the end I really liked the simplicity of it. I think there are enough golf games with 'power meters' and timing your shot. I was here for a relaxing game of golf and I got it (plus the 'on the green' had the "power meter" anyway).

Really great job, you really nailed it! I ended with a 43 because I did some, uh, 'limit testing' near some of the rivers haha.

What a lovely game, the little touches really bring it all together. The freedom with the golf carts is a lot of fun. Taking a break to sink them in the water is recommended. Really nice job.

Being able to drive into a sign after your ball lands into a sand trap. Perfection!

Swimming could be a little faster. 

But everything is else is just joyful. The art style, the music, and being able to express yourself with the cart. I played with a smile on my face all the whole time.

Great job!
