Golf is a boring game for lame rich dudes and lumpy old geezers, right? That’s the image, anyways.
\nPutt Putt Masters puts you in control of Golf Ball Man—part man, part golf ball, all lunatic. This is golf, but dangerous. Golf, but deadly. In fact, you must be willing to die to reach the hole. Honestly, that’s completely optional.

\nThe game played very slowly on my PC, not sure what it was meant to be like.
\nSome of the levels are quite devious, but an interesting dynamic.
\nQuite slow to load. But the music was brilliant and I liked the way it was positioned in stereo space with headphones on.

My only problem with this game is it should be easier. Level 1 had too tight spaces for progress, on Level 2 you have a small jump and few depth perception, so I don’t know if I can make some jumps or not. Overall, it’s a good entry!

Each time I died, that performance got worse. It seems I need to die to be able to use my dead bodies as platforms. That’s super clever and fun. If only i could play it. The camera controls are also a bit to aggressive when turning.

It’s an interesting take on golf, I liked it. The music is also cool. Some sound effects would be nice for a full score on audio. The controls and camera however need some extra love. It was difficult to time my jumps, and see where I was jumping. It’s the first time I’ve felt dizzy after playing a game. Maybe a fixed camera would be better. If we need to rotate or tilt the camera, I think using the mouse would be better. It would also help with a shadow below the golf ball to navigate better mid-air.
\nSome ease-in-out movement on the platforms would make it more predictable.
\nI think this game has potential, and is a great entry in itself. Polish the controls and camera and the game can really stand out.
\nTry to making even more use of the “death” mechanic you have. Make some golf courses (puzzles) that make use of this mechanic to your advantage. Maybe some (not obvious) paths are made so that killing yourself is the best strategy to reach the goal in the shortest amount of deaths.

Is always hard to make the camera work well automatically.\nThe music is very good! It should start enabled by default and muted on request because is nice. Technically quite impressive for 13k
