I love so much about this, but I'm not sure how much I can come back to it.
Art - Awesome
Theme - Awesome
Where I run into a problem is level design. The difficulty of this is way too high, right out of the gate. I love difficult games! This one just was too hard, too fast. This feels like it's trying to be Getting Over It, and maybe it's succeeding at that for some. Not for me, though. Getting Over It has so much moment to moment tension and control that a golf-like game doesn't. The controls here are too loose for a difficulty cliff this steep.
I feel like I'm being harsh, but it's because I really feel like there is something here that deserves refinement! Just pull that back just a little bit, keep it challenging, and allow someone to save their progress, and I would totally come back to this!
