Of course, I've played games like this before. I think this one is one of the best. Minimalistic but beautiful art; ability to move the map; some cool mechanics (for example, I can change the direction of the throw) — this makes the game attractive. The music and sounds are also done very well, they fit so harmoniously with the gameplay. The strongest aspect of the game: the tutorial. It's done right. This is how tutorials in games should be (not stupid dialogues)! The difficulty of the levels increases smoothly and slowly, which is also very cool. I admire the game design of this game.

I absolutely loved this game!!!! I even sent it to a few of my mates to play. The puzzles are really well designed. I would love to follow this if you decide to continue this after the jam! I think if you could add more planet bodies you could have some incredibly complex puzzles. Number 8 I had the most fun with making the ball go round and round!
I have one complaint: there's a bug where if you drag a UFO into the ball by accident, the UFO gets swallowed (not placed on the map), but you get stuck with a point. I had to restart the round to reset my score quite a bit.
With that out of the way... this game is FANTASTIC. I was hooked right away. I played for 3.5 hours. The art, the music, the puzzle design, the funny spaceman... it's all working so well. It feels so good to make the trick shots.
You've got something here. Really well done!

Oo thanks for catching that! TBH the code became very spaghetti by the end of the jam so I am sure there are many bugs.
We were really proud to here that you enjoyed the game enough to play it for 3.5 hours!! We're very excited about this game idea and will probably try to take it further :))
That was a lot of fun. I spent way more time than I expected trying to perfectly line up shots to grab as many satellites as I could while staying under par. That “just one more tweak” feeling was real.
Really creative take on top-down golf. The idea of building the course itself and counting planets as strokes is such a smart twist. It adds this nice layer of planning before you even hit play.
Everything felt really polished, too, from the tutorial to the level design. It never felt confusing, which is impressive considering there’s a lot going on mechanically.
Even when the line indicator showed I was going to make the hole, I still got a lot of satisfaction watching it actually go in. It just felt good.
Super awesome game. Really well done.

Thank you so much for the thorough feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it so much :)) We tried our best to prioritize polish over extending features and I think got a pretty good outcome in the end :)
