Themes
The theme that inspired the game was “Is Physics Real?”.
Most golf games rely on physics, using power, spin and momentum to determine where the ball lands. I thought it would be interesting to go against the grain and make a golf game that doesn’t rely on physics for its gameplay. Instead of manually aiming shots and judging power, you move by playing cards. The game is played on a grid and movement is completely deterministic.
It’s a golf game, but without physics.

Jam
This was my first game jam and I’ve absolutely loved taking part in it!
I’ve never attempted to make a game in such a low resolution before; fitting all of the UI elements into such a cramped screen space was the most challenging aspect of the jam for me!

This is a pleasantly relaxing game. Well done! :)
Nice relaxing gameplay, a nice take on golf! I enjoyed it a lot
Too charming
Interesting interpretation of golf. Pleasant gameplay. Of the minuses, the principle of forming the direction of the options is not always clear, often they are all in the wrong direction (minus purely according to my feelings, perhaps this is part of the game design)
This was a pretty polished game, great entry for your first jam project!
That was really smooth gameplay. Awesome execution, great job!
A super relaxing game with very polished presentation and feel. A great entry all around!
Interesting proposal, I like how the trajectory is decided with cards. Good job.
Really like the game! finished it with 61. Reminded me a bit of the game called Golf Peaks.
What a lovely little golf game, well made, super polished, super relaxing, well done
Great game! Feels very polished, the concept is simple but works well, and visuals and audio fit the game well.
At first I was confused because of the "card" mechanic and where it says Clubs, I thought it'd say Hearts or Diamonds later in the game, only to realize it's different kind of cards :)
Great concept! I like how each of the later holes required some thought on how to approach, with multiple paths. There were some situations I ran into though where there were no good moves (e.g., at one point on hole 8, I got cards where every single one of them landed in the water lol)
This was beautiful gameplay. The concept works so well with the limited space. Impressive feel with the UI makes the limit of 64x64 non existent. The over all feel was amazing, keep up the great work.
Oh man, I really liked this game! Golf + cards / strategy. I think this is brilliant and I think the music/sounds/visuals are amazing too. Thank you!
Gorgeous graphics and music. The way hazards are implemented is very clever. A very enjoyable experience overall.
Damn, I love the idea! A golf game where you have to pick your shots with cards. I see a lot of potential for this to become a deckbuilder golf game in the future haha. Other than that, catchy tune and cute graphics, simply a very good game <3
Great presentation, all fun and bouncy!
This is a 5/5 for me. Cool idea, easy to understand gameplay, cute graphics and sounds, and just fun to play. Also works great in 64x64. I went 10 over par on my first run, but I'm sure I'll try again later.
This is really good! I love the interpretation on that theme. Great use of the resolution too with those UIs, they don't feel cramped at all!
I ended with 9 over par, but I had 1 very bad game that went to +4 because I had no card that would go right and I needed to go right! :P
It looks very polished, and is quite fun.
