The hole at the end of the universe by Greet
Scenario
You can call me Horfel, the last remaining one.
I don’t know where I am, where I go, I don’t care,
I ought to only golf in this world of nightmare.
As there is nothing left, no hornet, wasp or bee,
To run with here and there, no mountain, path or sea,
I ought to only golf, now that mad men are gone.
From the gigantic union that all wanted to keep,
Where they all have built and all have created
Worlds, and fame, and greatness. What they awaited
Was to grant human the greatest means
and conquer sky and earth.
To the great overthrow where they began to weep,
Where they all fled faster than their old rocket ship,
Leaving their elders, disappearing in a snip,
And giving me rights of old queens
To live and golf and mirth.
I ought to only golf, and now, white ball, you fly

I loved it. Maybe with some polish it would be fantastic.
Thanks for your work!
I couldn't help but finishing the game though, it was pretty hard at some moments, like this level where i had to play 35 times... xD
Anyway, i loved it, the system of par/albatros... just get along so well with this, it got me win dancing for an albatros (while crying of course).
A couple issues though :
- For some reasons, i first thought the arrow pointing at the finish line was a wind indicator... just because it is a golf game you know ...
- The blue / red flames were a pretty cool mechanic, but more than once i got stuck and had to play in the air ! ^^
Oh, and THANK GOD the water isn't adding a penalising point, or i would have never made a bogey x)
Great job, guys
Ps: Je viens de voir que vous etes français aussi, des bisous !
I enjoyed the level design and the whole game overall - I kept draggin my mouse in the opposite direction because that's what most other games do, but I quickly worked it out.
One small note on the levels, I finally understood how the "red fire" works only when the game was already over :)
Please check out our game too and give a rating. An honest rating and any comments are much appreciated.

As an aside, on very right edge in level 10 I got into an infinite loop where the ball kept dropping into the pit before i could shoot it.
Couldn't quite get into the story but it is an appreciated effort. It felt like it didn't register all of my mouse clicks and I ended up messing some of my shots because of that... Liked the pixel art & idle animation, overall you managed to create a wonderful game :)
What worked:
- Shooting the ball and where it landed felt good. I never felt cheated.
- Great mash up of themes
- Was a lot of fun to play!
What needs some polish:
- The art felt a little too pixelated.
