This is really awesome! But par 6 is absolute bullshit. I thought I was doing really good, made great progress with every putt, didn't seem to make any major mistakes... but way over par :( I'll return tomorrow and try again

I got a Birdie! You don't just have to follow the main path...(mysterious sounds)

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.

i agree on the camera direction. that is annoying.

the flying blobs are other players going wild

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.

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.

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.
