Liked it a lot! Unfortunately only 2 levels (at least for me) but cool!

Nice game, would be nicer if there were more levels. The aiming part was a bit hard to control and would be nicer if there was an option to stop shooting after charge

Feline FrenzyThank you, I didn't have time to make levels for the jam but I'm currently working on some improvements and on levels.
The aiming is bad but I guess it's part of the identity of the game. I made it all by myself and I think I used the wrong technique... If you know GDScript you can download the source code and have a laugh at it if you want
And if you want to not hit the ball, you can simply turn around when charging. I tried adding a way to cancel but it didn't work out with the kick mechanic.
The aiming was a bit finicky at first and I wonder how it would have been if you could kick in any direction but was cool nevertheless

Laser CrazyYou can still kick up and down if you position the cat correctly.
Actually the reason why the cat can only rotate on the x axis is that all I learnt to do were 2d platformers. I wanted to make this game without looking at tutorials but I had never made anything like that before. I think I did pretty well, but I couldn't really figure out how to make diagonals and stuff other than with a ton of 'if' statements to check what inputs are pressed (which is kinda bad)
Glad you found it cool :)
The game is cool and fun. Never thought I would play a cat golf game lol. Great job!

Cat SquaredCongrats on finishing your first non-tutorial game, that is definitely something to be proud of! It's a really cute take on the golf genre :)
It took me a few tries to understand exactly how to angle the kicks, but it was very satisfying once I had that "aha!" moment. I do genuinely wonder if a visual indicator would be helpful or not, on one hand it would help teach the player how to line up their shots, but on the other hand it would take away that feeling of skillfulness. I'm not sure!
Overall, it's a very charming game. Cat + golf feels like a very cozy combination! The little animations are lovely, I especially like the intro sleep animation. Great work!

Look Mom I'm an AnimatorThank you! I'm currently working on adding a visual indicator and yes, it does help a bit. The tip for angling the shots is to look relative to the cat's head. I wanted to include this tip in a tutorial level but my time was cut short because of a small incident this weekend. I'll update the game soon because now it isn't that great
Neat little game, would be improved a lot by any kind of visual indicator of where you're aiming though
