Freakin awesome. Hahahah, I love that there are 'cheats' and the fact that you can see everyone playing definitely makes it cool! You can even get hints by watching the ghost…
wuliwong on HNI like the concept. It's fun. Feedback: 1. The ball seems a bit soft. I suggest you get a real golf ball and putter and see how they behave, if you haven't already. 2. It would…

Physics feel off: too much rolling resistance and bouncing dampens momentum
From 4 comments
Feels like there's too much rolling resistance, even with a perfectly lined up shot there's not so far you can go. And definitely not enough to make it in 6! Also if the camera…
Retr0id on HNIt's cute but the physics feel off. Something about the bouncing feels like it dampens the momentum too much, and the rolling resistance also feels like it's too aggressive. I…
hankbond on HNThis is really cool. Probably needs some physics tweaks as a short putt is almost always way to hard. But love the idea!
kylegalbraith on HNReally fun idea! Though I agree about the feedback on the physics: the ball doesn't travel as far as I'd like and bounces off the edge too often. The game also often wanted to…

Par 6 is too hard to reach; shortcuts via wall bounces dominate
From 3 comments
Prove you can get in the hole in just 6 putts, damn you.
darkgray on HNPar 6 my ass
2OEH8eoCRo0 on HNPar 6 seem impossible? At least 15 necessary at the least?

Camera orientation is hard to control and often points the wrong way
From 3 comments
Cool project. On my phone the camera is facing the opposite direction and I can't figure out how to consistently rotate it.
buggylearning on HNThe camera auto orientation was 180 degrees wrong after clearing a stage. Maybe you need to give it a sort of "preferential direction"?
atoav on HNI like the concept. It's fun. Feedback: 1. The ball seems a bit soft. I suggest you get a real golf ball and putter and see how they behave, if you haven't already. 2. It would…

Lag and slow loading on some devices
From 3 comments
I like it! The graphics are really good but it feels a bit laggy to me. IDK if someone else has experienced this.
m1rsh0 on HNReally love the concept! It was kinda laggy for me tho. Had to stare at a blank screen until i spammed the refresh button. Other than that, pretty cool stuff.
passiflora96 on HNAin't even loading for my poor laptop. Sounds like a lot of fun though!

Aiming near the hole is hard, and thumb covers the power indicator on mobile
From 2 comments
Fun but closer to the hole it’s impossible to aim. I missed it for time because I have no way to understand fine direction if my thumb covers the indicator at low power
camillomiller on HNOn mobile, don’t make the ball the hit target to putt, because you can’t see where the direction/power under your thumb

kjgkjhfkjf on HNi agree on the camera direction. that is annoying. the flying blobs are other players going wild
em-bee on HNI'd love a rotation fixed overhead camera

Better multiplayer or private rooms with friends
From 3 comments
Would be awesome to also have a private room where you can play X old random/picked holes in a series versus your friends.
dirkhe on HNLove it! If you added a more useable multiplayer mode, I'd love to share with some friends I usually golf with.
fabled-out on HNVery nice. I'd be interested to hear how the real-time/multi-player element is working?

Direction hint for disorienting circular hole section

Also it was very disorienting especially after making into the circular hole thingy, hard to know which way to aim, some small sign which is the right way would be nice, other…
