Cool concept! Great job! But I couldn't find the target.

I liked the moody music. I didn't know where I was supposed to be heading for, so some sort of target marker would be nice. Also I couldn't figure out if there was a way to turn the camera, so I couldn't go backwards or to the side.

Cool game. I saw the target (I believe it had a lightsource) and overshoot it at the end and got out of the map :smile: . Well done. Music and mood are good

Thanks for the feedback on the target, my bad! A marker should have been included.
For now, just keep going forwards and look for a light. In some cases the path is blocked though due to bad coding, so just restart :disappointed: .

I don't want to sound harsh, but it's very hard to see what I doing and what I was supposed to be doing. When I thought I found the target I fell into the void and nothing happened.

Golf games are usually always colorful and cheerful... so golfing in your dark and gritty caves was a very refreshing experience! Excellent use of the theme, both for graphics and audio. If you happen to design some levels too, I think that would be a great addition to the already existing procedural mode :smile:

Great job! I can see myself playing this for hours. I'm interested to see what the future holds for this game. Only issue is it feels a bit unfinished. Other than that, it's a very nice game!

There was an old PS1 Net Yaroze game called Sphere that I played a lot of as a kid and this really reminded me of that. Nostalgic!

Fun little game! I restarted once due to flying out of the map and the starting area was literally golf ball sized ground, surrounded by walls :laughing: For a second I though I got put into golf jail for leaving the bounds of the course!

Interesting mechanics! The take on going deeper and deeper into the gave via "golf" was super interesting, and I especially liked the audio. Alongside wonky map generation, I did find myself going straight through a few walls when full speed, but other than that I had no issues. Outside of the solid sound, there was definitely a creepy atmosphere to this game. Well done!

The idea was good, and I liked the music and the atmosphere. The game felt a bit unfinished, and it's very difficult to see anything.

Great idea ! The light is a bit too low for me and sometimes I couldn't see myself but otherwise the
atmosphere was great thanks to the dark caves and the music. Good job !

Nice mini-golf game. I'm impressed the caves are procedurally generated.

Very interesting idea, but encountered some display bugs while playing, perhaps too large screen size is not suitable for a web version

Good hustle for a compo game, especially the graphics! I found the game a bit boring to play and a bit slow, to be honest. I think you can improve it a lot.

Very nice spooky music and lighting, really helps to form an eerie atmosphere.

I unfortunately accidentally got out of the level geometry fairly early on, on my first attempt. It might be nice to be able to move the camera, to perhaps rotate it or see a view from higher above.

Interesting idea! I haven't seen any other golf entries.
