Hi @Ieyfo,
This is an interesting idea - using the "swing meter" as the primary mechanic - are you a fan of old-school golf games? :grinning:

Sadly, the User Interface lets this down - buying stuff in the shop while the action continues and having to trigger your purchased items from the same shop is a little clunky. I was doing fine until things other than asteroids started to show up. After that it all went a bit mental! Nevertheless, congratulations on completing your game in such a short amount of time.

That swing meter makes for a great "rub your stomach and pat your head" gameplay as you manage purchases. Graphics were on the weaker side and it's a shame there wasn't audio (or maybe GameMaker decided to break audio again? It happens). I didn't find out what "null" did in the menu though?
