Highly polished, concise golf game. Beat it in 69 strokes on my first run! The CRT / Vector art style is great. Theme of the jam aside (but also who really cares, it's just a creativity prompt imo), I loved this as a "vector mini golf" game. Reminds me of the best of Miniclip and Newgrounds games in gradeschool, but with a modern polish.

Great game, especially the game feel which is very nice. I assume the ball is hit by a hammer but without the context of the jam I wouldn't know it, it wasn't very clear. Some level feel a bit luck based because of the speed of moving objects. A bit of background music would also had a lot to it. But honestly other than that it's a very good game, simple but very satisfying to play. Good job!
Super fun little game! The art style was simple and nice and the post processing was done well. The game has the potential for a ton of cool levels and there are a ton of different mechanics you could add (portals, rotating objects, bumpers, etc). The moving objects were a little too fast and that combined with the small delay before your shot made it a little hard to judge the timings (maybe shoot the shot instantly after clicking?). Overall, this was a super great and fun game and I'm exited to see what you do with it next!
Really fun physics-based puzzles! Except the last level felt like I was hitting the ball until I got lucky. The post-processing effect is a bit too strong, I think.
But still, had a good time (took me 77 tries to beat everything :P)
A nice puzzle game with the potential of endless Levels. The different Level Layout and obstacles let the game stay fresh. I'm looking forward to see more gameplay relvanted mechanics. You made a solid game!
klein aber fein ;)
Very nice game, simple but effective graphics and audio, mostly intuitive gameplay, with the only complaint being that with some of the moving stuff it felt more like i got lucky rather than timing but thats no biggie!
Only other small thing i would've loved to see was an "actual" hammer sprite/shape that smacks the ball, as i first thought this was supposed to be a pool stick ;)
Still great job though!
Nice little game! Look and feel was great and worked really well - can see this being a really successful mobile game with the short one-screen levels. Only negative I can say is that I found the moving walls moved so fast that it was impossible to judge the timing of your shots, so those levels were just random chance of getting past.
Nice game! I like the minimalist style you went for and the particles and graphics are fantastic as well. I think having some music would have helped in the overall experience though, regardless, I think this is a solid game!
