Neat concept :)
I wanted to play a bit more levels with new nice idea like in the last level.

It's a nice idea.
Graphics are well. they are graphics :).

It lack a restart level button to avoid waiting that the ball goes in the hole because it's annoying to wait when you know that you will lose.

I never played an anti golf wind god simulator. And I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Great game. Awesome music. The Art is very very basic, but fine for that kind of game. The wind is a very unconventional weapon, even though you could argue, that it's not really a weapon here, but still: great gameplay mechanic.

Obviously leaves a little to be desired visually, but a thoroughly enjoyable puzzle game - completed it and would probably have gone for hours more if the levels hadn't run out... really great!

Really, really cool idea and totally fun to play! Could have some more levels, tho.

I love it! The gameplay was great and could easily be expanded to a more complete game. The music was pretty good especially the ending song. I actually like the intro and success graphics, but it definitely could use some polish to make it complete.

Overall, great idea pretty well implemented.

Addictive game, and music fits greatly to the mood. You should keep developing this game :-]

I truly enjoyed playing this!
In fact, one of the funniest games I've played so far!!
The concept is very very very veerrryyy original; The gameplay is truly amazing, a lot of fun to play!; And the background music is just... wow... perfect!
Overall, AMAZING ENTRY!!

repstyle said something about a restart button so you don't have to wait until the ball goes in the hole. I agree with him. A restart button / shortkey would make this game even more perfect! ;)

I would like to add that there is indeed a restart button, if you press ESC you get to the pause menu. There you will find a restart button, I didn't realise I never explained that :)

It's a bit of a stretch to call the wind here a weapon, but otherwise it's actually pretty fun, I enjoyed it.

Outstanding! You guys really did a great job on this. The only thing I have to rate a little low is the graphics. If you had more levels I'd continued playing for long!!

That was such a fun concept. I got a secret glee from ruining all these golfers' days. This was a ton of fun. I was really happy with your level design and the difficulty curve you established throughout the game. (until the end that is) great job!

Wow! Great game. Though the art could have been a little better, the music well made up for it. The sound of losing was so satisfying and the background music was so calming that I didn't really even care when I lost, unlike most games of this nature. I LOVE the feeling of being able to ruin other people's days (does that make me a bad person?), so this was really fun (it was a lot like the un-convention game, you should play that one too, the music isn't as good though). Nice game!

This is fun!
It's a neat idea with lots of potential, the only problem with it was the balance.

Finished !
I recognized the music, are you the developer of Höme Improvisåtion ? :-)
Nice work.
