Cool game idea! I can definitely see this turning into a full-blown pico-8 game. My first play through sucked, but here's my second. I just tried to repeat the same key strokes / timing...
I mean since a negative score in golf means I'm winning, I must be great at this game, right?
Clever gameplay! Once you get the hang of it, it's really intuitive and fun. :3
Thank you for the nice comments everyone. Any score above 100 is really good. But because you get an extra ball for every hole in one I guess the score limit is the limit of an int in LUA ;-)
Hopefully I will get the time to tweak and polish it, it definitely needs a restart function.
nice game. i didn't really get the feel but it was fun! 87 on my third try and a ton of fun!
Thanks for the game. It's fun. I'd love to see some different sized islands and different positions to make it a little more challenging. :)
Not bad for my 3rd go.
This will be fun to throw on my PocketC.H.I.P. when it arrives.
I like it. I'm not good about reading the docs below the game so it took a while to work out the controls. :) But then I got good. Getting an eagle is very satisfying.
One thing: it's a hassle that there's no indicator of which island I've aimed for. Can you put a highlight on the active target somehow?
Thank you Felice, I think I need to clean up this thread the insrtuctions are rather messy.
Regarding the island indicator it is actually as simple as if you hit a long shot it can land on the long green and a short shot can land on the short green. This is not a classic setup but I kind of like it :-)
What a PHENOMENAL Game! :D
I just spent half of my lunch-break playing this game and been completely HOOKED.
- First I was always hitting the first green.
- Then I saw a 2x on the 2nd, so thought "that makes sense - it's further away".
- It was only after I nailed a round hitting the 2nd green that I spotted the multiplier moves... GENIUS!
That ramped this game up to 11 for me, as switching back and forth between greens to get the 2x REALLY messes with your timings/muscle memory!
Congrats on the game - don't change a thing! :D
My current best is: 219
(PS. My best Hole In One is actually 6 or 7, but fluffed up on this "better" round)
