Prove you can get in the hole in just 6 putts, damn you.

Par 6 my ass

Feels like there's too much rolling resistance, even with a perfectly lined up shot there's not so far you can go. And definitely not enough to make it in 6! Also if the camera angle is too high, you can't pull back far enough to reach maximum speed.

Par 6 seem impossible? At least 15 necessary at the least?

This is really awesome! But par 6 is absolute bullshit. I thought I was doing really good, made great progress with every putt, didn't seem to make any major mistakes... but way over par :( I'll return tomorrow and try again

It's cute but the physics feel off. Something about the bouncing feels like it dampens the momentum too much, and the rolling resistance also feels like it's too aggressive. I really did not like the ramp that pushes for you.

Congrats on game that can be used in a mobile browser. Thats rare.

I like the concept. It's fun. Feedback: 1. The ball seems a bit soft. I suggest you get a real golf ball and putter and see how they behave, if you haven't already. 2. It would be nice if the camera positioned automatically so that it's roughly in the direction the ball should go on the next shot. 3. There were a bunch of flying yellow blobs. I was not sure what they were supposed to be.

The score card should reflect your latest playthru even if it “doesn’t count.”

fun little game!

Freakin awesome. Hahahah, I love that there are 'cheats' and the fact that you can see everyone playing definitely makes it cool! You can even get hints by watching the ghost players. Great job!

Adorable little game, works very well! In today's hole I found a little shortcut by bouncing back from the starting position into just before the little "house" and managed to complete the hole in 4 shots. I like that such things are possible, feels satisfying.

I like it! The graphics are really good but it feels a bit laggy to me. IDK if someone else has experienced this.

ellg

thanks again for the feedback everyone. I just pushed a few updates around physics and scoring!

kevinwang

Looks quite funny actually. Maybe it could be some multiplayer mode that I can srike and crash my opponent ball.

The phrase “how was this hole” was amazing

fabled-out

Love it! If you added a more useable multiplayer mode, I'd love to share with some friends I usually golf with.

brikym

I like it. What stack did you use for rendering, physics etc?
