This was one of the games I was saving till last to play as I was really looking forward to playing it. First hole and I wasn't disappointed, hole in one, yay, here we go. and at this point i have to say this is a great little game with solid mechanics and a great look but I do have a couple of points. From hole 2 the difficulty goes through the roof as other than a brief scroll through of the level you have no real idea of where your ball will end up. The game really needs to show you a view from the hole to your ball each stroke to give you a fighting chance or maybe some kind of hole map to help you plan your shot but this is a bit like playing golf with your eyes shut. Also the addition of hazards should be a gradual affair but by the 3rd hole you have tunnels, moles, bottomless pits, lava, hedgehogs, birds all making the game harder. I appreciate you may not have the time but I would love to play this game with some simpler starter holes and one of the suggestions for showing what's coming up, this could be a great game. Damn game jams and their ridiculous time constraints!!! Having said that it was still in my top 3 for fun to play, great stuff.

Thanks for playing and for the kind words. It means a lot.
There was a lot of features I wanted to add but time was against me. My initial plan was to have 3 separate courses; The starter course, the winter course and the evil lava course but I quickly realised that was ridiculously ambitious and ended up cramming it all into one.
Once the Jam is over I'll be making a lot of updates to this game. I agree with everything you've said and will definitely take your suggestions on board. I really appreciate the advice :) But thanks again for playing and i'm really happy you enjoyed it :D
