Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
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.

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.
Cute little game
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.
I loved the little wind-up mechanic, the sound matched so well! The concept is super cute too! I wish I could somehow see the entire map before I started winding up. Great work!
You actually can! If you press f you go into free cam which zooms out the camera and lets you move it around. Thanks for playing!
That's awesome! Great work :D
No way this is your first jam! WOW
This is actually my second game jam. Thanks for playing!
You Welcome and should have read the big text saying you did a game jam before lol.
The control feels a bit tricky at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was fun and engaging, really. Nice graphics, good music and sounds. Well done!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed
So 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!
I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thank you for playing.
Really cool idea and well executed, fits the theme perfectly! Love the artstyle, I don't have any complaints!
Thanks so much! I tried to fit the theme well enough.
I really love your take on the theme! The graphics are cute and the gameplay is challenging and fun
One of my favorite entries so far, congrats!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Ah, it has such a lovely retro vibe to it! Love the idea and it's so well presented like an old XP ROM game, so amazing for the time (even though I'm too bad to get past anything bar the 4th level I was given - they seem to be random?). Great submission!
Ahhhh thanks so much that's the exact vibe I was going for and yea the levels are randomized from a pool of levels based on difficulty.
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.
Thanks so much. I really like making music and sound effects for my games so I'm glad you like em.
This 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!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed
This 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!
Thanks so much! Im glad you enjoyed my little game (:
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 ^.^
Thank you so much for playing! I like the idea of controlling the freecam with WASD. I diddnt think about that. I'll add a toggle to switch between the two controll modes as well as adjust the bounds for the mouse movement after the jam. Thanks so much for the advice!
Super interesting idea and the game had a lot of charm. Well done!
Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoyed
hey... 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!
Thanks 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!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed. I was definitely going for that sort of vibe. I love Nubby's Number Factory. I've never heard of Dungeons of Blood and Dream I'll have to check that out! Thanks again!
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.
Thanks for the review! Sorry about the bug I did not come across that in my testing.
