Insane. On point. Loved it.
2 very very small notes of critique:
Fantastic game.
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I had planned to add a feature where you could move the camera but time was against me. I also spent a lot of time debating where the "?" should be placed. I decided on the end of the hole for the reason you stated and also as a bit of a safety net to stop players over shooting the green and adding to any frustration lol
wow really cool mini golf game easily scaleable really enjoyed it. Hope more levels and more crazy hazzards in the future. Great job!
Thanks for playing and the kind words :) I'll definitely be updating this game further once the jam has finished.
Very well put together game, looks a finished polished title. I think this would benefit from a much shallower learning curve with the obstacles appearing one per hole instead of throwing everything at the player in the first few holes, made a fun game quite frustrating to play. The quality of this game is top notch well done, very impressive for a single dev in 2 weeks.
I really regret putting lava into the game lol. Definitely agree I made the learning curve far too steep on this one but I'm really glad you did enjoy it and thanks so much for playing. I really appreciate the feedback :)
The polar bear was my least favorite animal LOL! This game was my favorite, and I really enjoyed the effort here. I feel like a little more early integration with your animal facts would have been nice to see. It was a shame they were all at the end. It's totally what kept me from getting a hole in one. My par 26 on a par 3 was not the issue...
Seriously, amazing game!
Hi thanks for playing. The polar bears are proving to be very unpopular with everyone lol. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback, once the jam is over I'll be updating this one with lowering the difficulty and reassessing where the facts are placed.

Thanks for playing and I'm happy you liked it :)
What a fun game. I did feel like some levels were a bit too punishing and difficult, while others where easier and (perfectly) balanced! Either way, really good job on everything, especially by a one man army!
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I definitely agree some of the holes should have been balanced much better and this is planned for once the jam is over.
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
Enjoyed the physics. Nice touch showing the hole then moving the camera back to the player so you know where to shoot. Getting 10 strokes on a Par 3 hole makes me cry. Good job!
Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I thought it would have been a bit too mean to make everyone play the holes blind haha :)
Very fun! The controls were a little awkward and made it difficult to play though. I suggest this. There's no reason to not continuously show the power meter. So with that in mind the controls can be simplified. Start with a 45 degree angle. Use left arrow or A to aim counter clockwise. Right arrow or D to aim clockwise. Up arrow or W to shoot. This will make for a much smoother experience. Start with 45 because that seems like a more useful angle and allows for one button press to keep playing.
Hey, thanks for playing. That's a good idea for the controls and I agree it would make it a better experience. Thanks for the advice :)
Nice game! Some holes are extremely difficults, some are maybe too easy. And some passages under the walls are not so clear. But I enjoy it!
I completely agree with you, the game could have been balanced a lot better and some of the layouts need improvement but I am glad you enjoyed it :)
Graphics and sounds are really good, well done! Also, clever name!
Thank you. I got far more excited than I should have when I thought of the name :)
