In Epic Golf Adventures you are a fearless archer traveling through mysterious forests, battling dangerous foes, collecting shiny loot all while...playing golf? Even Legolas needed a vacation.
๐น HOW TO PLAY
--------------------
Tap the bow and arrow and drag back to prime your shot. Release your finger to launch the arrow at the ball, but watch your health as each hit does a bit of damage. If you're running low on health, tap the coin icon to open the shop. Apples and Health Potions are great for refilling your health. Get the ball to the end of each course in the fewest number of hits to get the best rewards.
๐ NOTES
--------------
This game is in alpha so expects bugs and missing features.
๐น Buy upgrades from the shop to make your character stronger. Tap the coins at the top of the screen to bring up the shop.
๐น The number under the character portrait represents the level you're on.
๐น Finishing a course with PAR number of hits or less will get you the most coins.

Great game 95% satisfied the only thing I donโt like is the fact that the bird can fly cross the map and hit you

Great job with the project! Fun take on mini-golf ;)

@bosswave Really appreciate all the feedback. I tried (and failed) to get automatic out of bounds detection working so a reset button or menu option might be the way to go.

Allocated all of my money to speed and bounce and accidentally screwed myself lol: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TcLGxhDANlHAMTFo8BcJEcqKNY3iepgU/view?usp=drivesdk
This is actually turning out to be very entertaining! I only stopped playing because of the barrier break, but thereโs something intruiging about finding out just how powerful you can become. โOne more speed updgrade and Iโm doneโ I kept telling myself.
Iโm aware that you are still working on this, but I would recommend either: A.) A way for the game to detect if a player is out of bounds and promptly return the player to the playing area.
Or
B.) A button that a player can press to return themselves to the very beginning of thr course.
Once again, good job! Keep it up :)

Thanks :D

First hyperPad game? Seems like you already have some experience making things like this, well done! ๐

This is great! I love mini golf games, I was actually hoping id get to play some when we launched the contest ๐.
The polish is great, I really like the details like collecting the coin and it animating to the UI at the top.
Only issue I find is the power is the same no matter how far I pull back.
Iโm not sure how difficult it would be, but it would also be really awesome to have a line representing the balls planned trajectory. This would be great for an easy mode or some sort of power up or something.

Congratulations Stanica.This game is cool,it is really fun to play.Just the ball speed a bit slow and it doesnt effect the speed of the ball no matter how much you pull back the arrow.
May 25, 2020
I really like this take on mini golf! My only suggestion are some different environments/music, instead of just the one grass land. It also feels like how far you pull back the arrow doesnโt actually effect the ballโs velocity all that much, only the health consumption. Itโs definitely a good start though, thereโs tons of polish in the graphics nd Iโm looking forward to where this project goes!
May 25, 2020
Different environments and music are on the to-do list but they're more of a polish thing so they'll come after the core mechanics are in place. Thank you for the feedback Linko :)

This is awesome! A very cool twist on mini-golf and very polished and intuitive. I started playing a little bit out of curiosity and my girlfriend took over and played for a while lol. Definitely looking forward to future updates!
My only advice would be to avoid having top speed as an upgrade and instead have the ball move more quickly by default. With how responsive the game feels, Iโd hate for it to turn anybody away because of it maybe feeling too slow. Itโs a great idea in theory, but it sacrifices a great deal of fun. Itโs a good idea to spend some time on making the actual gameplay itself feel nice and โcrunchyโ to the point where the game simply feels enjoyable to just mess around with. Particles and perhaps even subtle screen shake can also help give your ball more weight.
Great job so far! Are you going for a roguelike or is it going to be endless?
May 25, 2020
Thanks! I know that moving quickly feels better but the combat system I have planned uses top speed as a way to deal damage, so I need the stat to be upgradeable. A scaling top speed stat makes PAR calculations trickier so I might end up taking your advice. There's screenshake and dust already but they might be too subtle. I'll look into tweaking them. I wanted to do a roguelike endless game but I'll have to see what's easiest to balance.
May 25, 2020
Of course! A possible alternative could maybe be resistance to slow effects? You could include sand traps! That way, the player still gets a sense of progression while feeling as if they have more control and power over the base speed of the ball.
Thatโs just an idea, though. Iโm sure whatever you come up with will be great!
