Yeah it's alright!

I managed to beat it on my first run, which I'm okay with. It definitely wasn't easy, and probably having had played the demo made that a little more possible. Took about 6 hours total to complete.

I don't know if I just somehow missed it, but I didn't find out about spin until pretty late in the game, when I saw it on the controls menu. It's pretty crucial in the late game so I'm glad I came across it when I did.

This game is purportedly a rogue-like, but it doesn't do much to encourage multiple runs after you've beaten it, and in fact it might be discouraging to get sent straight back to the start without having much to show for it. I played Slay the Spire earlier this year, so the bar was set pretty high for rogue-likes, but even then, there are some basic elements I would've liked to see, such as having to choose between awards from trophies, more randomization/paths, outfits being special rewards and not just attained incrementally after beating bosses.

It would've been cool if the outfits had benefits/drawbacks. You only get the chance to change them at each shop, so it seems like the perfect opportunity for that. Imagine if the Spicy outfit made every ball inflamed, but also made it so you could never use frost, and vice-versa with the Frozen outfit. I can easily think up a bunch more, but already that sounds like it would add more strategy and planning.

Golf-rogue-like is a really clever idea for a game, and it was kinda well executed, but kinda unambitious too. I still had a lot of fun, anyways.
