Really like the story, keeps you real intrigued!
The sound aspect could do with some work though, a lot of the unexpected contact sound effects and constant static was kinda disorienting.

Super satisfying physics gameplay. The sound effects really bring it all together for me.

The fullscreen didn't quite work for me (I am using chrome on windows 11).

Really cool & creepy story elements. I love how the different balls had their own personalities and I was really tempted to keep replaying the game over and over again to find the true ending.

I enjoyed it but no matter what I couldn't escape..

I love golf games and this was really fun.  I'm not sure why, but on my Apple laptop (both in Safari and Chrome) the game would only fill up 1/4 of the screen (even if I zoomed in).  It was still playable though and a fun challenge.  I love when the golf ball started to have it's own identity and thoughts.  Really clever and original.  I hope you get to continue this.

This was a really cool game. Making the game become meta and break down was an interesting choice that left me unsure if some of the bugs I experienced were intentional? I couldn't fullscreen which I assume was unintentional, although it *SPOILERS* caused me to try and refresh the game to see if it would fix the issue after I couldn't figure out how to escape. I wanted to try and read some text I couldn't see when it was small but then I realized what it meant by the true start of the game and proceeded directly off. I don't know if the audio was supposed to break down into buzzing a few minutes into my playthrough but that was unpleasant. I really liked the simple visuals and the shader for the clues or whatever looked incredibly cool. I was actually having a lot of fun even with just the mini golf. I didn't see any animals but I'm assuming I just missed them. Maybe a video of a whole actual playthrough would be nice to tell which bugs may or may not be intentional and how the game is actually meant to end. I still had a great time and think that it did a great job with some criteria just not others. Nicely done!

Really liked the minigolf mixed with the existential dread of the golf ball. Really fun game.

This is, so far, my second favorite game in the entirety of Round 2! I love golfing games, and creepy imagery, so this game couldn't be more perfect! The controls were a little hard to use at first, but after I got the hand of it, I did another 5ish runs. My best run was 8 total shots! It's hard to say anything other than, THIS IS AN AWSOME GAME.

I found the secret path and all the hidden messages, but I couldn't figure out how to escape. I don't know it it was a bug or just a user error. Regardless, fantastic game!

I always enjoy a good mini golf game :) Well done.

Very good, I cant escape though :(

Nice game with a great creepy vibe! I keep getting surprised. I still can't find the way out - I found the hidden path and thought that was it, but I still get reset after falling off the mini golf track. Maybe add more hints for how to progress the story.

Still a very cool game! I'd like to see how you further develop it.

Interesting! A kind of analog horror twist on golf is a super cool idea and the narrative components with the dialog and the cool effects and hidden messages is a great vibe. I freed the blue guy, but I wasn't sure exactly how to get to the next stage of the story, do I just need to hit a low enough score? 

Really cool idea, I love golf games, I love the verticality of the level, and I love creepy story stuff. its like half minigolf and half marble run half horror game. I think there is something super special in that concept.

Great job!

I only managed 13. Loved the creepy plot twist and the rewind shot ability was cool. A couple audio bugs but other than a fun game. Nice work!

I got 12 😁 I love golf games, this was great. I liked how precisely you can hit the ball. I think golf fits 'projectile' perfectly and you had the animal narrator with the surprise twist. 

The only gripes I can think of are that the camera sometimes is positioned in a way where you can't see where you're supposed to putt, and the lack of full screen.

Fun game, great job :)

I was worried that there wouldn't be a story, until I got to the end. I got legitimate chills. Great job! I hope you figure out that issue with the window. I'd love to play a fullscreen version!
