It was fun but my issue is that the ball often starts near or ends up there the edge of the screen, and you can't move the charge thingy past the edges of the screen (at least on web)

even though im really bad at golf irl i love a good golf game. my only complaint is that my mouse kept going outside of the window, but i can let it slide because it looks really cool to have it blend seamlessly into the page. very fun!
Honestly, this game has a really solid core idea. I think you could take it even further by tying the gameplay more closely to the countdown theme. The concept has a lot of potential for expansion.
(One small annoyance, though: since there's no fullscreen mode, my mouse cursor kept leaving the game window.)
You've done a great job. Keep it up!
Very fun idea but if you actually made a set number of moves or bounces for the ball it would fit the theme better in my opinion. The game has nice art, but like some people said already, the only real issue is that you can't drag out of screen for more powerful shots.
Fun mix of pool and golf. I appreciated you including a way to check out other levels if I got stuck in one, and there is a good number of courses. The physics of the balls were fun, especially with a really strong shot that made them bounce around wildly. I also like the addition of the shadows to give a sense of depth to the visuals.
One issue I kept running into is if the ball was near the edge of the screen and I tried to drag the cursor off screen, there wasn't a way to launch the ball once the cursor was offscreen. This made it hard to perform stronger shots at the angles I wanted. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.

If the cursor is offscreen, I can't hit the ball at this angle, so I had to move the cursor back on screen and settle for a weaker shot than I wanted.
Overall, nice job!
Fun and simple gameplay. The art is simple I just wish there was audio in the game. And I like the fact that there is no cooldown on the shot. Fun Game.
I like the visual style a lot! I found myself frustrated that I couldn't get a full-power first shot because of the edge of the screen., but good game overall!
This a fun game! The only problem i have with it is that was able to slovw most of the levels i played by just shooting with max power until I win. Also the game is very creative
Great job making this in only 4 days! Well done
P.S Im in this jam too with "snake countdown". Would love to hear your though
Fun game but I cant seem to hit the ball hard enough as my mouse just goes off screen. Still, was fun and relaxing
Fun game! At first, I couldn't hit the ball hard enough, because the cursor was getting out of screen bounds. But later I realized you can start holding your mouse from the middle of the screen :D. Good job on submission anyway!
Pretty nice gameplay, but as the description says, it is unfortunate that the core mechanics are gone. Looking forward to your next game jam though!

Fun idea, I could get to level 3. I don't see countdown theme being used in it, maybe limited shots or time would have made it feel a race against time. You can add collectibles and checkpoints in each level or buttons to hit etc.
Please play and rate my game as well
The ball doesn't get hit hard enough. Other than that, it's a nice and simple game :)
Very addictive, fun art style, and quite hard too! No complaints!
