Feels like there's too much rolling resistance, even with
a perfectly lined up shot there's not so far you can go.
And definitely not enough to make it in 6!Also if the
camera angle is too high, you can't pull back far enough
to reach maximum speed.
|
> munro
If you bounce off the wall at the start, and RNG gods
look down on you, you're lined up to go through castle
on first shot. Then knock it through castle, and lined
up for 3rd final putt into hole.But I agree with those
points. I feel like real putt putt glides more, then
more resistance at slower speeds then slow speeds have
more resistance. And then yeah, default camera angles
are troublesome--it makes it impossible to do full
power shot at some angles too.

tweaking this currently, thanks for the feedback

My pasteable "scorecard" was fairly simplistic,
just 8 solid green circles followed by an
ellipsis. I think you could improve this by
dividing the course into regions (either visibly
or invisibly - same number of regions as the par)
and considering each hit to be green if it makes
forward progress, amber if it doesn't, or red if
it goes backwards. And don't truncate it if it
takes more than 8 shots!
|
> > taikahessu
Also it was very disorienting especially after
making into the circular hole thingy, hard to know
which way to aim, some small sign which is the
right way would be nice, other than that, quite
nice.
|
> shakna
Don't aim forward. Jump the wall to the side, and
you'll be in within shout of the hole.

Every time I did that it 'splashed' even with the

I made my own daily golf game a couple years ago; honestly
it isn't even really finished but it gets a couple
thousand plays every day somehow.It's more like a 2d
platform golf:
https://squigglegolf.com/game/I had built out a custom
level editor and some other fun features, but never really
polished off the UI enough to release those. Someday I
should really finish / update it.
|
> footydude
> it isn't even really finished but it gets a couple
thousand plays every day somehow.Having just spent 5
minutes on it...I imagine it gets played because it's
pretty good fun (good work!)The inclusion of showing
the trajectory of your previous (failed) attempts is
really neat - it means I can refine my shots more
accurately.

I really enjoyed this!It was also a pleasant surprise
when I learned I could hit the ball again while it was

No offense to the OP but this game is much more fun.

It's cute but the physics feel off. Something about the
bouncing feels like it dampens the momentum too much, and
the rolling resistance also feels like it's too
aggressive. I really did not like the ramp that pushes for
you.
|

ya its still a wip, I appreciate the feedback though
and I do want to keep tweaking stuff like this. Feel
free to add feedback at the end of level prompts too

I like the concept. It's fun. Feedback:1. The ball seems a
bit soft. I suggest you get a real golf ball and putter
and see how they behave, if you haven't already.2. It
would be nice if the camera positioned automatically so
that it's roughly in the direction the ball should go on
the next shot.3. There were a bunch of flying yellow
blobs. I was not sure what they were supposed to be.

Prove you can get in the hole in just 6 putts, damn you.
|
> daemonologist
You can bounce the ball up slightly (presumably the
spin from rolling is modeled or approximated, and
gives lift when hitting a bumper), which might be
enough to skip from the tee to near the end of the
course. Not sure that should be considered for "par"
though. Took me 14.
|
> wtfHN26
https://ibb.co/VYwvY4qNIt's possible. Done in 4.Bounce
it off the left wall in your first shot and you can
land close to the end of the course.
|
> jdauriemma
I scored 5. Bank at max power at 5 o'clock from tee,
the ball bounces over the wall and skips most of the
course.
|
> > unknown_user_84
I have to wonder if they modded it because this
doesn't seem possible anymore. Though I may be
holding the putter wrong XDI tried hitting the
little floating island behind the start too to get
a bounce but the ball clips through it.What I did
find was that you can use the purple spinning
circle at the beginning as a teleporter to the one
near the end if you aim at the wall opposite the
spinner. Your ball will hit the wall and bounce
back and up into the teleporter thing.edit: I
think the level changed?

There's a new course every day (like Wordle),
so we were talking about yesterday's. It's
still accessible from the archive / calendar
button in the menu!I'm pretty sure Mr Dev Man
messed with the power levels after I played,
though, because it absolutely wasn't doable
when I first tried. Surely.
|
> > mcapodici
Thanks for the tip. Was 26. Now 4.More
specifically: aim back, and where the left side
(as you now face) starts to ramp down there aim
for the spot where it starts to slope down. Full
power.

Cool project. On my phone the camera is facing the
opposite direction and I can't figure out how to
consistently rotate it.
|

There's a setting on by default that aims the camera
at the hole. Turning that off helps a lot.

On mobile, don't make the ball the hit target to putt,
because you can't see where the direction/power under your
thumb

On a related note, does anyone know of a good (open
source) golf simulator/game for Linux? Serious level
gaming more than just entertainment, I'm thinking
something like FlightGear of golf games.
|
> Aardwolf
I don't know any since I'm not playing any golf
simulator games myself, but most games on Steam work
in Linux with Proton so you might find something
there. That's not open source of course but you had it
in parenthesis which I think means this was optional

This is really cool. Probably needs some physics tweaks as

|

Almost complete inability to sink the ball. I though I was
meant to get it to stop in the spinning circle? But it is
impossible to putt a short distance, it's always a couple
of feet, and when I managed to use the edges to bounce
away energy and stop the ball on the circle, nothing
happened.

The hole (like in IRL golf) has a flag in it. :)The

Adorable little game, works very well!
In today's hole I found a little shortcut by bouncing back
from the starting position into just before the little
"house" and managed to complete the hole in 4 shots. I
like that such things are possible, feels satisfying.

chandler5555

|
> Wilduck
You don't, you just cheese the level by slamming into
the wall just to the left at the start and skip most
of the course.
|
> > LearnYouALisp
The ball appears to go high enough but it
[control] doesn't like that it went over space. So
the best one could do was put it (after +1s) into
the port.
|

Same here, got stuck in an infinite loop of the

Before making the first shot, turn around and
face backwards. Shoot back and to the left
toward the barrier. After the ball ricochets,
it should hit the downward-angled barrier on
the opposite side and hop over it to the end
section, where it's not too hard to sink the
ball with three or four more shots.

screenshot of finishing with 4 strokes / 6 par
(tho my locked-in daily result was 14

the wall, water, and corner behind the start,
to skip most of the track.

You can go from the starting position to the last
u-turn, skipping nearly the whole course. But I doubt
that's intentional.

I did it in 3, but you need to hit a jump from the

on shot 2.

6 is possible. Just did it. Less is possible. Hitting
a wall gives you a vertical impulse. That can be used.

Really fun idea! Though I agree about the feedback on the
physics: the ball doesn't travel as far as I'd like and
bounces off the edge too often.The game also often wanted
to reorient me towards the flag which was annoying when I
was trying to go another direction.It also sometimes was
tricky to drag the ball - It thought I was trying to pan
the perspective.All that said, this is fucking rad! I
think with a few small tweaks you've got something really
special. And it could easily be extended with windmills,
power-ups, etc. I'm excited to play more and see it
progress!

Honestly the games very good, i played all the holes in

a bit less speed when it bounces off the wall.
