This is a pretty cool take on mini-golf. Being able to control the car after winding it up is pretty fun since I can pretty much right click to steer the car like it’s one of those old rally racing games.

How does your game fit the theme?
My game revolves around a wind up car which you constantly have to "startup" to complete levels. I also have it so when completing a level the starting line for the next level appears.

Loved the mechanics and the game concept although i found the car really hard to control and manipulate but overall nice game, would appreciate if you checked out my game.

Everything starts smallSo simple, but so well done! "What if minigolf, but control?" Stole a whole 15 minutes before I realized I had other things I needed to do today. Perfect marks!

Two Factor Authentication (2FA)That was great! The music is really fitting and the sound effects are just right. The controls were a bit difficult for me, but the concept is awesome.

Marble MomentumThis was a really fun game and very cool concept. I loved powering up the wind up car and moving it around the levels. Very satisfying to play!

Usagi CatchThis is such an incredible game! I dont usually like puzzle games but this one felt like it had a skill to it and its very satisfying to get better and better at the drift I really did not expect to enjoy it this much but incredible job on the game!

Gumbo* and the MACHINE!This was a really fun game,
I really liked how the car controls worked, and it actually did feel like using one of those little cars you wind up, let go and they drive forward.
Playing on free cam mode is MUST, as it makes it a lot easier to see where you are aiming at.
But I feel like the free cam was a bit hard to use while playing, and that you should have to move your mouse much closer to the edge of the screen to make it move, or let us use WASD to control it.
Overall I think you have done a great job, well done ^.^

Running Commentaryhey... this is so creative! love the gameplay and look of the game, all very cute and charming, and I like that it is "golf, but more" with a spin ... I can see something like this making big as a cozy game, very "Kirby's Dream Course" feeling. Good job!

Bunny Brew CafeThanks for playing! Kirby's Dream Course was actually a huge inspiration for this game. I originally tried to create my own version of Kirby's Dream Course's 3d engine so I could have slopes and ramps and such for this game but I quickly realized that was a bit too complicated for me to make in a short timeframe. I'm glad you liked it!
LOVE the gameplay and vibe here, the golf with drifting mechanics really add a lot to an old genre, and the almost unsettling energy reminds me a lot of Nubby's Number Factory or even Dungeons of Blood and Dream. Amazing work!

Bang! Crash! Dash!Really cool concept and presentation. Controls feel pretty good once you've gotten used to them. Had a bug where I'd spawn on a void tile and fall instantly and the bar for what is considered an easy level seems quite high imo but this is a really good entry. Deserves more ratings.
