You are Taiga Hoods, pro golfer and master criminal.

Golf is your weapon.

Score par. Steal things. Don't get caught.

Made in Unity. Coded in C#. Graphics in GIMP. Music made in Musagi, and sounds in SFXR. Did everything myself, but didn't finish in time for the compo :/

Authentic ColecoVision graphics! (almost)

If anyone knows a good place to upload the game where it'll work with the "Embed URL" option, let me know. Also, I can put up Windows/Mac/Linux builds if people want them. But for now, the itch.io link should work well enough.

Good idea, but i didn't understood how to beat the first heist.

I love that this being a golf game results in a mechanic where your character warps to wherever your "weapon" goes when you attack. That's really unique and inventive. You managed to have nice level variety, and I'd love to see what other levels could look like. It did seem like my shot count wasn't shown, so I couldn't tell whether I had hit par for each level. Nice work, I really enjoyed this!

Good idea! Although, I wasn't sure how to pass the first heist after knocking out all the guards.

I like the Golden Tee reference.

Well done, this was very nice! Felt like a complete game - music was there, mechanic was solid, and there was a beginning/end. Definitely not your average golf game - much more fun! I love the absurdity of it - pulling off heists by putting golf balls at security guards? Amazing.

I got a little impatient waiting to putt again after hitting the ball, but I can't think of any way to avoid that, except maybe speeding things up. Also, keeping track of how many times you've hit the ball would be nice.

Overall, great entry.

Just like the others, I couldn't figure out the first heist.. maybe adding some clues?

A little tip for the first heist: you want to get the big shiny diamond.

That was nice! It was difficult to figure out the first heist. Also, at some points, i wished for stronger shots (like taking out someone with a reflected ball). Overall i think its very cool!

Wow, this is one of the few Ludum Dare entries I've played so far that felt truly original. Loved the golf mechanics mixed with a stealing theme, super good take on the theme!
