I think I found 2 different bugs. On the first hole I died by going over par the first time because I didn't do the practice and I didn't realize the line was the direction the ball was going to move. After an embarrassing amount of bogeys, I got a hole in one and it killed me too. So I restarted the game entirely to get a par and moved on. I think it was the second hole that is an L shape. I hit the ball at an angle so it could bounce around the corner and when I hit the ball towards the hole, the ball went forward not even half way and bounced back. It was like the ball ran into an invisible object. Next hit didn't bump into anything, so I don't know what happened the first time, I thought it might have hit me, but I don't know if I actually have a collision shape or not. Overall, the ambience was spooky and the death scene got me the first time. When I got to the hole with the zig-zag sequence, I gave up. The death sequence took too long to get through. I would recommend penalizing the player a stroke and putting them on the green and lowering the par to adjust for not having that instant death.
Best bits: Making a golf game is a very difficult undertaking. It's physics-based and fiddly. Creating a workable golf game in a short amount of time is a great achievement. There are some fun design twists to the various holes, such as barriers and exposed parts of the course.
Ideas: Have a look at how other 3D golf games help the player understand how much control they have over a shot. Some ideas you might like to try include having the camera follow the ball, using the mouse to set the trajectory, and having more visuals to predict the ball's direction!
Thanks for submitting this game to the jam!
I got to the 5th hole then then lost my mind after hearing the dialogue for the 100th time haha. It would be good if you didn't have to wait as long after failing.
Appreciate the feedback! I was wondering if the death sequence would be a nuisance after a few retries haha I'll make sure to keep that in mind moving forward. Thanks for playing!
