Warp Ryder Cup by Mach60KAS

"...It looks like our professional space golfers are in for a treat this year!"
- Robot Peter Aliss, 2378

A once in a lifetime dimensional convergence has coincided with this year's Ryder Cup, and the organizers are just running with it. Guide your astro-golfer to professional glory* in a hostile space environment**!

(* Glory not included. Everyone in this year's cup forgot how to keep score. Oops.)
(** Space may or may not be all that hostile. There are just portals everywhere.)

Good luck!

-Use WASD and the ARROW KEYS to move around.

-Hold SHIFT when close to the ball to begin golfing.

-CLICK to start your swing, CLICK again to set the power and CLICK once again to set shot accuracy. Remember, the last click should be in the gold sweet spot!

-When Aiming, the ball will travel towards your mouse cursor's position on the FINAL click.

-Hold CONTROL to pan the camera with the movement keys. This can also be done while golfing so long as you hold control.

I never had time to write a proper post on the controls, I had to sleep at the time. Gimme a sec.

Nice work! I love the animal crossing drum solo breakdown. Too bad you didn't have the time to implement a par system or anything like that.

I could not play the game, the loading screen got stuck in the end and stopped.

Quite a cute idea! I enjoyed playing around with it, the teleporting was a fun twist as well. I wish people made more golf games :)

Interesting art style, but I'd like a par system to see how I'm doing.

Intresting to see a golf game. Controls a bit too loose and I think it would be nice if the golfer instead automatically went toward the ball so you only needed to focus on the aiming.

Interesting gameplay! The music is nice! I think it will more fun and easier to play if the player can be control the movement of the character with mouse too.

Interesting and different concept. It was quite hard to understand how to play though, and almost equally hard to get the ball where you wanted.

Nice idea and decent graphics, overall a good entry!

The backgrounds are nice but they strobe rapidly on my monitor, I think because of the pattern dithering. Still nice though. I like the details on the space platforms as well.

You have some cute glitchy backgrounds, the music's adorable and the mechanics aren't common at all. It's pretty fun, I just wish you'd implemented the aforementioned par system

I've played again and managed to move the ball, thanks for explaining the controls !

Good concept, just unfortunate time was not on your side and you could have included the scoring notifications. Music and graphics sweet :)

The controls are very hard, and I think they might be a bit buggy as far as aiming is concerned (on Firefox, OS X), but I really like the game's concept. Well done!

The controls were difficult to use. Sometimes the meter would show a lot of power, but the ball would barely move, or not going anywhere at all. Liked the music though

Nice little gold game. I enjoyed the atmosphere, music and graphics. Controls took a bit to get use to but after that it was really easy to get the ball go where I wanted. Great work!

nice mini golf game, I like the wormholes that teleport your ball, could do with a score and less flickering on the background images

Fun little game about golf and warping. It was very difficult to control but I got to finish the three holes. With 50 + shots

Nice graphics and color palette, reminds me a bit of the
colors that I used on my game, in a good way :) Fun concept
and music, I'm not an avid golfer so it was a little difficult to get into but overall good job!
