easily my favourite game of the jam!!
oh my gosh thats quite an honor of a title thank you so much!! Im very happy with it ^^!!
this is a really cool idea! the music is nice, i love the dithering effect on all the visuals and it is intuitive to combine golf and bowling in this way.
the spin mechanic just did not work for me. i just couldn't get the hang of it, and i also couldn't figure out how to land right in the middle. it resulted in me feeling more frustrated than challenged. maybe some visualization of how the spin would have affected my throw would have made it easier to grasp
Reminded me of a Wii game, great visuals / music! Took me the first two levels to actually understand the spinning, but after I did, this game was a blast :)
thanks so much for playing! We were absolutely going for an early 3d game style like wii/gamecube!!! Always love to match that kinda retro vibe
unique concept its great actually :D the levels get pretty hard and it takes a bit of time getting used to timing the shots but its pretty cool! i think having the shot meters move linearly instead woudl make it easier to predict but i got used to it after a while
thank you so much for playing! I totally understand what you mean, might mess around and see if linear vs how it is feels better in a future version! (Which there should be!!!)
For whatever reason I'm unable to play it, with windows claiming it doesn't have access to the fiile. I see other people did manage to so I believe it might be my pc acting up? But I don't know, because I've been able to run other games pretty troublessly.
oh no! Thats so strange im sorry, i do hope thats not the case but ill look into it and see if i can find something wrong
Yeah, I'll try it again at some point, I was really looking forward to testing the game out:(
I, unfortunately, was not able to find whatever was causing your error, since the new version worked for others
A couple things I found online, if you aren't extracting the game before playing that would cause it (sorry if you are just covering the bases!), but also if you have any sort of anti-virus make sure its not flagging the game!
Well, usually I don't extract the games and it works most often than not, but if it doesn't work, I try extracting and that's when my computer just outright says it has no access to the file and deletes the executable. I have been a bit busy so I haven't been able to look into this much, but its happened with other games, so I believe it might be a problem with my pc more than anything else
I'm a big golf game enjoyer, and this was a good time! There were a few levels that felt just a little strange, like the bouncing in The Bowl took a bit to figure out. But once I got it, it made sense. This was a nice combination of the two sports, and the pixelated 3D was a really chill look to go for. If you kept working on this with some more levels/backgrounds/stage gimmicks/etc., this would make a really cool full game!
Thank you so much! Me and the others working on it certainly want to flesh it out into a full project, so be sure to keep an eye out for that in the future!
10/10 for letting me feel like I did something awesome by getting the ball to the end of the first platform on the "rewrote physics" round 4 and then launching it off the end down to the pins to skip the other platforms entirely. Did it take 8 shots to finally do it? Yes. Would I have taken 20 shots to get it? Also yes. The narrow bridge should have been earlier to force me to learn to not have spin on the ball, then give me rebounds and the like.
Edit: Hmmm. I launched the ball straight at the bowl, not expecting it to just go up and over, and it did not. Instead, it just started bouncing around in circles, riding the wall of the bowl. Intended? It seemed like it might just bounce up and over, so I let it ride. After a minute, it clipped through the bowl, and I thought I was free, but instead it fell into the void. Still, though, you'll always get me to try a mini-golf style game.
thank you for the comment! The bouncing is intensional but we should have been more clear about it. The clipping through the wall is not unfortunately, if you could give some more context so we can figure out what went wrong would be greatly appreciated!
My apologies, I missed this reply. I'm not sure what context I could give you. I just watched it bounce around until it didn't. I guess it must have hit the seam between the bowl and the floor, but why that made a difference or why it fully clipped through is beyond me. When I went back to try again, it did a similar thing, endlessly bouncing and always seeming like it was one bounce away from escaping, and then it clipped through the bowl again, but not the floor this time, so I was free of the bowl and finished the level.
fun game !! all the 3d art was so cool!
I loved the game but at some point i think i found a bug where i was floating in the air but still very enjoyable
im so sorry i know exactly what you’re talking about but rhe unstick button in the pause menu works now!!! So that shojld never happen again
i loved it so much im going to the bowling alley tomorrow to recreate this thank you
yes, it is true. we will go to bowling alley tomorrow.
