Nice art and humor! Does get a bit hard later but I'll try to finish it! :D

The game was fun, quite hard. If I can recommend something, add an indicator for the strenght of the last throw so you can adjust the shot :) I managed to finish it in 78 shots ahah!
I really like this game! It has a ton of personality - the cutscene at the beginning was fun and I was delighted when I shot myself out of his mouth only for a short clip to play where he instantly threw me in again. Difficulty was good imo - the few last levels took a few tries. Destroying organs on the way was a cool way to show progress. Congratulations on a solid entry!
80 shots! Not the best apparently. An ultra solid entry, a bit of polish on the visuals/sound design and this would have a great place on the google play store or the app store.
Fun and funny game. I liked all the unexpected moments like the voiced intro and shooting yourself through organs. I loved the really long "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" you got when you were airborn for a long duration without hitting anything. Sometimes the wait for your charater to come to a a complete stop before your next shot felt a bit long. But that's a minor gripe. Overall awesome job.
This game is great, I am glad the anti-murder pill is having such a good time with me. I love the innovative way you made the controls, levels, and the audio. Somehow the frustrating part of failing as the little pill called out in joy was fun.
Incredible job! Despite how hard it could get at times, it was definitely addictive enough to make me want to finish the game, even if it did take around 80 shots. Well done on your first submission!
Wee! Ow. The sounds are so great! The title screen is so clean I actually thought it was the page banner instead of the game at first, haha. It's a really great design though. I liked the colors and how organic all the shapes were, and how the levels all made sense as parts of a body (in a very cartoon-like way), and the acid effect was also really good.
The only things I think would be really nice to add would be mobile support and a bit more of an ending
Haah! This was awesome :D Love the sounds and the dark backstory. I didn't see any bugs, the game felt great and really well polished. Absolutely loved it!
Challenging, humorous, a bit rage-inducing, but fun to the end. The sound effects remind me of old cartoons, the gameplay is nicely polished. Loved it! I predicted a lot of golf-like games to be submitted but this just might be my favorite out of those!
Great submission, fun well polished version of a commonly used concept with loads of content and a great backstory with some excellent humor, hilarious experience, and I especially love the easter egg.
Such a fun game! The art and the sounds made it super cute and funny. It's challenging and the level design is well done. The video in the beginning was awesome 😆
Made me smile quite a few times, I liked the voice acting, the pill reminded me of worms games haha. I managed to get to the end, took me quite a while but enjoyed the journey!
Haha I love the idea and the mechanics are nice. I like the indicator to show you your strength and direction. It felt like without such a clear indicator it would have been a lot more frustrating. The sound effects are also brilliant. I love the long drawn out "wheeee" when the pill is slowly falling to its doom.
The bubbling acid looks great! I like how the difficulty progresses and new elements are introduced, it encouraged me to try again and get better. Managed to get through with 46 :)
I love the subtle touches, like the way the pill stops joyfully wiggling its hands and gets all serious as soon as it hits a wall for the first time. The game plays very smoothly, the reset button is a god sent, completing a tricky shot is always satisfying, and that intro is delightfully well-drawn! 30 murders out of 31!
This is such a fun game! Love the cartoony art style and the cute sound effects. The gameplay is simple and satisfying, but my only criticism is that sometimes it takes a little too long for the pill to settle. Otherwise a solid jam entry, and if this doesn't score well that'd be a tough pill to swallow.
Really fun little game that feels complete! The little pill really has character and the audio was great! Had me laughing all through to the end, taking 95 shots 😅 Nice job!
Really cute and fun game. Super creative idea, I LOVED THE OPENING CUTSCENE IT WAS GREAT! The mechanics felt really solid and consistent and I loved the art style. The only thing I thought of is that the level difficulty curve might be slightly off not much but I felt some levels earlier on were a bit more difficult than those I found later maybe I had just gotten better tho. Overall great job!
This is simply the best game of my life! This is one of the most fun games I've played. The idea is interesting and good implementation. And the voice acting is just the icing on the cake.
Great game! Loved the premise. One minor issue is that if I play on full screen, I sometimes hit the edges of the screen while trying to aim, preventing me from aiming properly.
This was good, simple fun, but I do have a couple of small criticisms: - The enemies near the end (antibodies?) seemed to move very suddenly. When there was only one, I could follow their movement, but when there was more, their movement felt very abrupt and hard to predict. A simple wind-up animation just before they started moving might have helped. - The pill turning to a "dead" sprite as soon as I fired made me think I only got one shot per level! The was just me misunderstanding things, but a different sprite might have helped me avoid that misunderstanding.
Really, though, these are minor complaints. This was a fun game with just enough content to be engaging but not so long that it ever really got boring. Good job.
That was awesome! Was so happy when I made it. Intro was amazing. "Murder", "Murder" ... going to be stuck in my head all day. Thanks for letting me play!
Lesgo!!!!!!!!!!! God so many levels!!! Great job! Very charming and funny game! I love how you even took the time to add a cutscene for getting out the guy's mouth. The physics were a bit weird at first, since it looks like you gradually lose speed while in the air and then fall really slowly, but I got used to it.
Great work! The gameplay was really fun, and I was amazed by how many levels you were able to make in such a short amount of time! They got more challenging as it went along, but I was able to complete the game. The little touches are what really makes this game stand out, the way the pill says wheeee and ouch made me smile every time. I will also support any game that uses the mouse cleverly, which you did a phenomenal job at. Great job!
Managed it in 54! The capsule shape made it feel pretty different from your usual minigolf game, plus whatever strange in-air deceleration was going on. While the capsule bouncing was fun, it did make it feel more random, and really incentivized going for more holes in one. A few more concave resting places might have helped with that?
I love it! The intro and the audio design are both adorable and I think my favourite detail was that my first shot was backwards straight back out of the mouth because I didn't know which way to click and the fact that there's a special animation for doing that is 👌! Really well done!!
Lots of polish to this! Definitely has old school flash game vibes which I love.
It would be very nice to have a "ghost" or something of the last shot - I found in some cases getting things tweaked just right was really difficult as it was tough to repeat things consistently.
I also maybe ran into a bug when playing full screen - I couldn't drag my mouse cursor "out of bounds" so, for example, if the character was right at the bottom of the screen I couldn't give much power upwards - so in the end I just didn't play in full-screen mode.
All in all, great job - especially for your first go around at Ludum Dare!
Good job. Love the audio and the simple visuals are nice. Going for this golf style game though I feel like getting the feeling of it just right is super important. There seems to be a lot of drag being applied to the acceleration and going full power shoots through the drag but doing anything less than half does almost nothing. this also cause unpredictability in medium power shots as I would think my shot was going to go a certain distance based on other shots, but would then start to slow down and drop. Other than that good job
Amazing. Legitimately funny, good input mechanic, cute graphics. Only gripe is that the pill guy boomerangs a bit, probably due to "air" resistance, which can be annoying. But yeah, this was a gem, friendo.
Adorable cute, great sounds. I think reversing the controls (dragging towards the direction of launch) would be better though. I had a lot of instances where I had to come out of full screen to shoot properly because I was spawned too close to the edge of the screen. There might also be something to be said postLD about tuning the physics. Often I'm waiting for what feels like a while for the pill to finish inching downslope to an inevitable doom. Overall I loved it.
Hey! What a game! I would really watch out that the pharma groups won’t try to sue you because of this game! I liked how you take care of the small mechanical screws like “x - restart level”. Those small improvements have a such big impact on the flow of the game. Congratulation to your magnificent game!
What a challenging and fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/BCEhcn4pHX0

GG!
Well done, I liked the voice acting :D
@everyone else, thank you for your kind words!
PS - My record is 35 ;)
I liked all the unexpected moments like the voiced intro and shooting yourself through organs.
I loved the really long "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" you got when you were airborn for a long duration without hitting anything.

It would be better with retry button!
I got stuck on the cheese and cookie level!
The sound effects remind me of old cartoons, the gameplay is nicely polished.
Loved it! I predicted a lot of golf-like games to be submitted but this just might be my favorite out of those!
Very well done 👍

Sounds and graphics so satisfying, I really enjoyed the game. And it feels completely finished
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... OW!
One minor issue is that if I play on full screen, I sometimes hit the edges of the screen while trying to aim, preventing me from aiming properly.
The audio did great at keeping it light-hearted and made the times I failed a shot enjoyable.

I liked the intro a lot, there's something about the dry delivery that makes it really funny!
sound effect(or voice over?) is definitely the soul of this game. classic level design and control feels good too!
