This game is really neat. I like the chess/grid take on golf. The aesthetics were very nice, and the game felt neat and polished. The leaderboard style seemed a little out of place, and I feel like it could have been put in the 3d-like ui like the rest of the buttons, but that's fine. Nice game!

The gameplay feels smooth. The messaging in the game is great, not too much, not too little - it's clear what you're doing and it's consistent. Great work!
Very well thought idea for the game, everything is very beautiful and clean, animations are smooth, gameplay is amazing, didn't want it to end, I would play this for hours. Nice job!
This game is beatifull, I loved the minimalist art and the way that you have to think in every play.
So relaxing and fun, would like to play more hahah, but i'm really bad in accuracy, it was hard sometimes.
Congratulations for the game
gameplay is great , and stunning intro. good luck on the jam.
Gameplay is very simple, but interesting! Love the idea, and also, a time limit, and strokes combined well in rating! I hope you will continue to work on this game and add some new stuff (or maybe chess figures?)
Also UI is super cool! I really like it!
Really good game. I am just not sure about the ball size which sometimes felt kind of weird when hitting the corners.
I agree with this 100% !!!
The bounce is not very realistic. Now it pretty much just sends the player in the direction between the player and the ball with the same velocity that it approached in. It doesn't use the players angle coming into the bounce. So like you said, it feels kind of weird and wouldn't work for some of the levels I would like to make. Preferably it would work sort of like 8 ball pool by miniclip. I would also like to replace the arrow with a line that shows how it would bounce as well. That would be cool. I wish I had used more of my time on the main mechanic!
Loved the aesthetic of the game! The gameplay was so smooth and relaxing! Unfortunately, I found myself overshooting a lot, which was a bit frustrating. Otherwise, definitely a top 10 game for this jam! Truly, be proud of yourself, this game is insane!
