Great Golf Game
There are so many terrible mini golf games out there that I expected this one to be bad too. Once I started playing I loved it. Its a game, its a story, its just plain old fun. I gave you a 9/10 because the rainbow waterfall hole is my nemesis. I have yet to complete it in under 12 strokes.
Wow
Beautifully designed game. The environment created with the super-clean simplistic animation style and music selection makes it a place you want to go. I hate golf, but I love this game. And although the replay value may not be there for me, I can't stop myself from telling other people about it.
Great.
Really liked this game. At first when the game loaded up I thought that was the main menu and not the actual game. xD
Turned out it was the levels. :P
The only problem was the sometimes awkward camera angles and power meter where I just couldn't get around certain curves. Over all, great game.
One of the prettiest golf games yet!
This game is simply beautiful, with entertaining and unique visuals that look like the world's most complex diorama. The way the level "evolves" the farther you get adds to the originality and magic reminds me of that old "Grow" series of games, and I can see some inspiration has been taken from that collection. Other than that, its graphics are unlike anything else I've seen recently, and the number of different challenges make this a must-play.
One of my gripes, though, is the camera angle. It's hard to see what's a wall, what's a curve and what's a straight corridor with the isometric view, and all the props end up cluttering your field of view. This is "Wonderputt"'s greatest setback, in my opinion, and if this issue was fixed with some different camera angles for added clarity, it would earn a perfect score hands-down.
This is the best golf game I've played in a long, long while. A thumbs-up to you, sir, for showing us bland people that there's still quirky originality in the world!
Soooo smooth!
This easily hits the best virtual mini golf I've ever played! You really ought to be commended on delivering such a fantastic experience!
Now on to the business. The reason why you didn't score a 10 is because of the various minor graphical and audio blips here and there, and two glitches. I'm not saying you should have been absolutely perfect at everything, but the accumulation of these issues was enough for me to say "it could have been better."
Glitch number one is precisely what Hib42 said: game breaks if you try hole #17 too much from the selection screen. When the ball pops out of its package, no arrow appears, and you can't hit the ball. This will not get fixed until you refresh the page.
Glitch number two: sometimes you can hit the stonehenge rocks and they won't "deactivate". Don't get me wrong, for the most part they work, but when you go OCD, sometimes the ball clearly hits them and they're still glowing, and that's when I get sad. I've experienced this the most with the upper right-most rock.
Various hitches:
-- When the cows mow down the field for the first time, the apparent elevation of the standing wheat and the smashed wheat where the circus tent used to be looks to be the same.
-- The rocketship, when in space, looks kinda fugly.
-- I found myself wanting a camera angle change, especially when I'm trying to get a good score in the pond holes (9 and 10). I suppose you can't have everything, although I wouldn't mind having the geyser removed.
-- A part of the dino's head in hole 13 is obstructed, leaving you to guess what the boundary looks like there.
-- There was nothing to suggest that my ball wouldn't fall off the slanty roofs on the building.
-- I don't appreciate having monkey screeches (I guess that's what an albatross sounds like?) and score tabulation sounds happening randomly when I'm repeatedly practicing holes. This is one of the bigger issues, and is more like a glitch that doesn't affect gameplay directly.
The things I do like that I think are worth mentioning:
-- The transitions are pretty cool.
-- The clock on the building is the game timer. It's not in your face or part of the HUD, but a neat feature to discover later on when you're familiar with the game and looking for a challenge.
-- After hole 10, it always stayed interesting and fresh. A couple holes in the first 10 felt like repeats, being all in the same area of the "world" and having the same features and all that jazz.
-- The ball changes color :o
I'm not a fan of sports games, but as a testament of my devotion to your game, I successfully completed the perfect challenge (look it up on youtube by the username kajitisouls). Phew! Not sure if I have the energy to grind out 50 fully played games after hours of practice sessions, but this game will definitely be an option whenever I need to sneak in some 15 minute fun somewhere in my busy future.
I wish you good fortune in all your future endeavors! You deserve it!
Thanks for the glitch report! I've not noticed these bugs before to be honest, nor had them reported from playtesters so It'll be interesting trying to recreate them.
Interestingly you completed hole 11 differently to how it was intended, nice one :)
Very impressive perfection achievement by the way, I really am amazed players go to such lengths!
