Fun game, better than the average golf game. Didn't spot any bugs while playing either.

Haha this is pretty fun man! I like the idea of the game and it plays well. The lazer sound effect got annoying though,

Great game.
Hole 7 is a nightmare. Probably because I suck at angle-force games =)

Wow that's hard! I love it, it's a pretty interesting take on the "throwable" genre, very fun. I lost on hole 5 :/

Only thing that irks me is that the animation for the alien when it destroys the town is a bit long. But that's a pet peeve more than anything else.

Like it! Different spin on it.
I found the speed of the swing a little hard. I struggled to get the angle I wanted more than figuring out where it should be.
I enjoyed tho!

Hole 8 is really clever.

Fun/addictive game, plays great. Great use of the theme, too. Love it!

Lost on the 9th hole. Best part was when you get the alien right in the head :) Controls were good, felt like the swing timer was a little fast, or maybe I'm just slow. Fun game, I really liked it.

very nice game! i had to play until the city was saved. i guess you designed it having a mobile port in mind?

Concept is good.
Found it a little punishing to try anf fail, maybe a level retry option.
An indication of my last attempt path, and settings would aid.
Fits theme well.

Not a big fan of golf but this was pretty fun! I found a bug at the very end where if you click swing again a second message shows up and the ship creates new destroyed buildings on the right.

Nicely executed! Entertaining with polished game mechanics. Also, I liked the alien slowly destroying all the small houses in the background. The laser animation could have been faster though (or having a skip button), as I spent half the playing time waiting for the animation.

After hole 9 it crashed for me with the console message:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'par' of undefined (index.js:432).

Nevertheless, nice job :)

Great idea and lots of fun! Would be cool if you had some kind of indicator to line up your shot a bit easier

What a hilarious concept, and lots of fun to play. The animation of hitting an alien right on the head is hilarious and super satisfying.

The game can be quite challenging, since you have to extrapolate from the Swing meter where the ball will go, resulting in a lot of trial and error shots. It would be nice to let players restart a hole (with whatever level of city destruction there was when the originally started that hole) instead of having to restart the entire game.

I really liked the music and graphics, aside from the red text that can be a bit hard to read on the backgrounds it appears on.

Great work!

Really cool game, i had a good time playing. I just wanted to test it, but finally I play more than i should :).
The only drawback is the laser sound which can be annoying over time

Really awesome! Liked the mechanics. I wish I could click anyway to start swinging though, and not have to wait for the alien to destroy a building.

Good audio and graphics, fits the theme nicely and very playable. All in all an excellent game! Would be a good on a mobile phone too.

Nice game. The speed of the Swing is a tad too quick (and the laser animation a bit too long) though.

This one goes in my top 10 list (out of about 40 reviewed so far). Great idea and execution. The whole situation is pretty funny as well. You took a pretty well known game (golf) and put a very different twist on it while still keeping its core mechanics intact. My only complaint is a lack of instructions for how to play; and a description of the different clubs would be useful to us non-golfers. Good graphics and matching audio as well.

Clever original game, enjoyed this one alot. Liked how the buildings in the background were your lives. Will be coming back to play this one. Only suggestion is maybe tweaking the swing timer a fraction.

It was a pretty fun game. Saved the city on my second try with a score of -9 and two buildings left.

Fun little game.

Hole 7 felt like bullshit because you can only win by abusing the fact that the hitbox is bigger than the sprite (you can't actually hit the sprite itself), so it took me a lot of tries to figure out how to clear it.

The game's replayability suffers from the lack of variation between playthroughs; once you memorize how much power each shot takes it becomes kind of boring.

(Best score: -22. Did really well until I got a Triple Bogey on hole 9.)

Overall was really good, the different swing styles and bounce mechanics were cool

Cool idea for a game, very different kind of game. Fits the theme well, had nice graphics, great audio and was fun to play! Well done!

When I saw the screenshots I didn't think it would be this fun, but this game is GOOD! I enjoyed playing it a LOT! :D

Graphics have that nice NES style, sound effects and music are really nice, but the gameplay is really good!

It falls perfectly in Bushnell's Law of being "simple to play, but hard to master" as the controls and concept are quite simple, but levels become challenging enough to require lots of gameplays.
