Use of the limitation
I incorporated it by having powerups that when collected would often cause more of a hinderance than an advantage, as they were ridiculously overpowered.

Very nice concept!! The game has a really good level of polish, and the idea is creative.
However, I wish the mechanics were more deeply connected to the gameplay itself. For example, a beginner might think, 'I don't want to take that; it will make me lose.' But a player with a deeper understanding of the game should be able to find a way to use it to their advantage.
Or maybe that's just my thoughts! 😅
Anyway, the art is great, and you have done a very good job!!
Cool concept! I can tell you have an eye for detail tool. It felt pretty polished! Great game! Also crazy to use PowerPoint for art but I love it.
I love the concept, its pretty nice. Also i love what u did with the ground plane when the balls go through it
I enjoyed the different power ups. Duplication was awesome. The heavy/slow ball was super frustrating! Nice job.
Powerpoint for the art! Wow nice. All in all it felt like a mini golf game should, and works best when the annoying power-ups are used as part of the strategy. I think having them be a built in, rather than collected might help make the player not avoid picking them up? Then again, it was a satisfying puzzle when I realized how to beat the third level (I think?) by running into each powerup in a way that resulted in the white ball being placed in a perfect spot to continue. Figuring out how to deal with challenging powerups can be interesting, but the interruptions to the gameplay every time a pickup happens slows things down in a way that makes it a bit frustrating. Nice job though!
The idea of an adversarial mini golf game is a lot of fun and subverts some of the expectations around the traditional browser golf game. Having power-ups to avoid or have to cope with is playful and pretty funny - a lot of the time I was like, oh damn, I don't actually want that! It fits the theme of the jam well without a generic "this game has good power-ups" design. The tradeoff is that a lot of the time, the player will just want to avoid getting them, so I think the more effective levels were designed in a way where players had to consider the risk of taking an unwanted powerup or going around the long way. Great work and a lot of fun!
Game is overall good but it miss a little something IMO. Art style is cool and the physic is swell used. Great job !
Pleasant game, cool art and nice music
This was a great game and idea! I like that the powerups are potentially "overpowered" to the point of making things more difficult (low friction ball!).
This would be great to keep going with and expanding! Amazing work.
Super cute game!!! I really enjoyed playing!
I wanted to avoid that slippery powerup! It made it more difficult. Loved the mobile aesthetic.
