Minigolf Exam by Dr. Mo

[raw]
made by Dr. Mo for LD28 (COMPO)
Minigolf Exam! You only get one chance pass your Minigolf Exam and prove your skills. Don't mess it up or your minigolf pride will be ruined forever! You can't take it again!

The is the first game I've written in HTML5, and it's played entirely with the mouse. Click to shoot the ball. Get the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible. There are 8 holes, but you only get scored on your first attempt.

The game requires a browser with HTML5 Canvas support. The newest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome all run it nicely with only slight differences between browsers. The game is even playable in the Android browser, but aiming is more difficult. I think I have all the game-breaking bugs out of there now. If the game still fails to load, please try pressing F5 to refresh the page. If it still fails, please let me know.

I always love a little game of mini golf. I enjoyed this one. Didn't get the idea of the theme though. One hole per level? Sorry if I'm stupid :)

Fun game, really reminds me of all the old minigolf games I played on my old 486. Really hope you develop this further.

Well, it's minigolf! A little weak on theme I think, but the gameplay is executed well.

Alright... that had nothing to do with the theme, but it was a really solid minigolf game. Nice work :)

Doesn't run fluidly in firefox on my Samsung Ultrabook with its amazing Intel HD 4000 GPU:) But nice game, although the sound is a bit, uhh... monotone.

This brings back fond memories of playing Java applet minigolf games back in the day. Fun times!

Props for using pure HTML5 and Javascript. Very cool.

It's a fun game! This is the happiest I've ever been to get a score of 0 on a test.

This was quite fiendish and I enjoyed beating it! The puzzles were nicely thought out with a good difficulty curve. Perhaps my PC is a bit anceient but it seemed to run around 15fps which was actually quite uncomfortable to watch after a while. If it was smoother this would be a total win, good work!

This was fun! Now I want to make a mini-golf game! Nice and simple implementation here :)
