Delightful! Is it intentional that some holes can be completed under par? No objection just confirming in case you intended par to be a "perfect score" motivator.
If you've got any tokens left, some suggestions:
- offer a 'replay the level' option when you complete a level.
- in the level selector on the title menu, distinguish between levels that you've completed on or below par, above par, and haven't completed. E.g. similar to how the info is displayed in the game over stats screen.
Awesome puzzle game!
Up there with Tower of Archeos as one of the best puzzlers I've played on PICO-8. Quite the impressive little mechanic, did you base this on another game?

Hole 15 says 11 strokes, but it's possible to do it in only 6. Is that intentional?
@kimiyoribaka yes, just like in regular golf it is possible to go under par on some holes. thanks for playing!
ooh I crashed it! I started it up in the browser (here on the BBS) and the menu was set to hole 33, apparently cookie-stored from my previous playthrough. (Opening in an Incognito window shows hole 1.) Tried to Play and got this:
lmk if there's something else I can do to help repro.
ok I think it's repro'able if you play all holes in the browser, then restart. It starts at "hole 33," and if you try to play it it crashes because there is no hole 33.
In this state I was able to select hole 32, play it to end the game, then restart the cart at "hole 33."
302/233. I really enjoyed this, wasn't ever far too hard so I felt like I could happily keep playing, nice tune too.

Lmao, I got 226/233. Level 14 -> 6/11
Some of these were pretty hard to figure out but it was fun enough to keep me playing. Well done.
Excellent game, I really enjoyed this. It's very fun and well done!
hints: you only need 3 of the balls. once you have 2 balls left, you need to find a way to make them vertically stacked instead of horizontally.
