Nice concept, but a pretty poor execution... Way too short with way too little to do and no incentiive at all to get the coins. The concept, however, saves it from total failure so it gets a 2/5

@HaZaD - Why don't you just hit escape and chose "Restart Course?" It does sound like it prevents you from getting skulls for winning though.

onefoe your wrong about that the game dosnt have the need of stopping just see where the ball goes and shoot at the right time well too bad if you cant but still badges would be nice :)

fun game but it needs alittle more concept :)
though really ... hit it in mid air? just .......
alittle too much of the good :P but keep at it :) hope to see more of your games

Too much animation once at the start is enough. It slows my computer and you don't have time to make a shot correction when the ball is flying past the target. You should allow the ball to stop while you are applying the power. Otherwise its a great looking game. 3/5 for now. Fix and get badges.

I love how the solution to all problems is playing golf. Attacked by sea monster? Play golf! Boiled by cannibals? Play golf. I wish my life were like that.

Awesome art style, and satisfying to make long shots. It would be good for the controls if holding on to the button until it was full didn't automatically shoot, but rather started the arrow back downwards. So used to golf games doing that I kept trying automatically.

:D I love this game, its got great gameplay, and is nicely polished. There is no lag, and the ability to be able to shoot the ball while in motion is a nice twist, a solid 4/5 from me, i hope to see more from you :D

@conkedup: you're right, the game is a little short... it took so long to do the courses till I found they were "perfect" that it would have taken another half year to produce some more... and I did want the game to be released somewhen ;)
Glad you had fun playing and maybe there will be a sequel somewhen with even more courses and a more exciting story...

200,000 pts and 78 shots. I like the concept of the game, with objects to knock down, and the small storyline, I think it is too short though and may I suggest maybe, Three different storys, with three chapters, and each chapter has eight holes, I don't know how to do taht but It would be a lot better if it was longer. 4/5

@brak: you're right that normally casualgames shouldn't need much processing power - but I tried to do a game that plays casual, even if it is more an actiongame from the overall experience. And I wanted to polish the game with smooth animations + solid physics.
Actually I did a lot of testing, the beta phase with 50some close friends took more than a month. I also tested the game on slower machined and didn't get framedrops (I tried to make the courses as small as possible to boost performance a bit).
As it looks now, it's only the version at kongregate that freezes sometimes... the viral version of this games comes without Kong API of course, so the problem must be somewhere at my Kong API integration...
If anybody else had the game freezed while playing, please drop me a note! I want to narrow down the problem to fix it asap!

@brak, unless you have the 'D' letter next to your nick, please spare your uninformed comments. The game has great graphics + uses a physics engine + has scrolling. It runs smoothly for me so 5/5 is more than deserved :)

This game is too simple to suffer from framerate problems. Don't blame me (the end user) for your bad testing. I think you're losing a lot of the casual gamer audience - who probably don't have the fastest PCs (like me).

I just heared about some framerate problems while playing. Those didn't occure at any of the test sessions I've done before, so I'd like to ask wheter the game runs ok for you?
Unfortunately it needs a more powerful pc than many other flashgames, because of using physics and the graphics being all vectors (all but the dialogue character images)... but you still should be able to play the game...

I really like this game, it is very fresh, well thought and polished - easy 5/5. Excellent first game, interested in your next games.

This game is better than 95% of 'first' games that people make. You have done an extroadinary job and really know what makes a game tick. Bonus for bug free and nice little bits of physics.

Thanks for your great feedback :). I also report your ingame achievements to Kongregate, so hopefully, if the game gets played a lot and will be rated well, there will be badges for it soon :)
