How does your game fit the theme?
This game is about making it as far as you can in the same level over and over. You can pick up abilities to use the next "loop" around to help you get further.

Really nice concept! Love getting to unlock new abilities over repeated runs, reminds me of minit and other games in that sort of genre. I found hitting the golf balls to be a little frustrating to do, the angle of the club is a little hard to read and often the ball wouldn't go where I expect it to in a way that felt out of my control. I appreciate the work you put into the opening slides and loading animations also, don't really see stuff like that but it was good! Music was nice, the death sound effect though was fitting but a bit annoying (though it made me not want to die). Overall you've got an awesome base idea for an interesting game , a bit of polish in some areas and I think you'll have something super great!
Thanks so much for playing!! Noted on the golfing being hard to read and out of control - definitely could have tweaked it a bit and now Im keen to rework it completely. Thanks for the awesome feedback!
i realy like your game, but: i think you must put a tutorial to haw pass the levels and the mecanic
but, i realy realy like. the sounds its amazing !!!!, and you is very creative.
good luck for the votes...

is very important to me
(Edit: Problem fixed itself after I restarted the game!)
Love the shaders!
@knockowt I really wanna play this but am stuck on the loading screen after I click play, it's stuck halfway and I've got an absolute monster of a PC, but I wonder if something else might be the problem with my setup, is that problem happening for you?
Hey! Thanks for playing!! Yeah I noted that issue happening once or twice - I looked into it and couldn’t figure out what went wrong. It stopped afterwards though so I assumed I fixed it. I played yesterday on another PC and ran into it too, restarting the game fixed the issue. But yeah pretty devastating bug thanks for noting 😅
Fun idea!
I enjoyed being a gopher running around and exploring, though I feel the golf aspect of the game is very unpredictable and difficult to control-- making it pretty hard to get further in the levels at a good pace. Also the art and audio is quite nice!
Hi, thanks for playing!! Really appreciate the feedback on the golfing mechanics - I wholeheartedly agree looking back on it. Especially since with the camera control logic I completely forgot that I set a threshold for the mouse velocity to actually rotate the camera 😭😭😭. Super excited to rework how the golfing works at a later date. Ill relay the kind words to the lovely art and audio people 🙏
