I also like the game flow (no menus like retry\/go next\/exit when you are finishing or losing the level). It speed's up the gameplay significantly.

This is one of those rare games where as soon as I started playing, I immediately thought, \"Why hasn't anybody made this before?\". You combined both genres just perfectly. The scoring system of golf. The physics of pinball. I mean, I guess if I were being super picky, I would say pinball and golf are not actually incompatible, as they are fairly similar games in principle. But you did such a fantastic job of combining them, I'm so happy this game exists.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"chronofeed","author_uid":"1078372","time":"2018-04-25T00:22:41Z","epoch":1524615761,"modified":1524615790,"text":"Pretro Shoferystov, you beat that level by hitting the ball over the trees, hitting the wall above the hole and so that the ball ricochets down into the hole.

You can catch a ball with the flipper and it just stops instead of bouncing. I think it is an interesting mash-up and could be something cool with a bit more development time.

The music is fitting but can get a little repetitive and all the sound effects are perfect.

The physics are a bit weird. Definitely could use some work.  The art is alright. The trees and the water look a bit off. other than that everything is pretty clear as what it is supposed to be. The music i wish were longer so it wouldn't be as repetitive. The sfx work with the game but sometimes overplay each other ( from what i understand is a gamemaker studio issue ). Level 4 could be worked on a bit more as it is very difficult to get passed. The game was quite fun though and i enjoyed it :).","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/84761-63792ec6e576adde2c5ed42d07b3101e.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/chronofeed.itch.io\/ludum-dare-41-jam","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"45233","g_author":"1078372","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"227826","g_title":"Pinball Golf","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"849","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"84761","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"84761","n_urlkey":"227826","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/pinball-golf","n_slug":"pinball-golf","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"78372","n_created":"1524268805","n_modified":"1524545113","n_version":"269074","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":84761,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":78372,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-04-23T22:26:13Z","created":"2018-04-21T00:00:05Z","modified":"2018-04-24T04:45:13Z","version":269074,"slug":"pinball-golf","name":"Pinball Golf","body":"![Cover Image2.png](\/\/\/raw\/422\/31\/z\/1347e.png)\nThis game is a mix of pinball and golf.
