Controlls: Mouse for aiming and hitting the ball. Click, aim, drag, release.
A and D for rotating the camera, W and S for zooming the camera in and out. Press space to unto the previous stroke.

Update.
Well, I said I wouldn't release v0.2b, but I did. There is no new content (other than the fact that there are now 18 levels, although there are still the 12 level files), so this is just a bug fix. The bug fixed? The wall glitch.

After nearly 2 months of work and delays, V0.2 is finaly here! Whats new in this version? A mini-map for starters, 4 new levels (as well as replacing the old 8th level for now), and a level designer (as well as an updated HUD, main menu, a different icon from the Game Maker default, and settings). Why was there a delay? Well, because I wanted to make the game as fast as posible for older computers, I re-wrote how the walls were drawn from scratch. At first, I had to make the level tile by tile, now, the game automaticly draws in the walls with as few polygons as posible. The map editor also draws the walls in automaticly (controlls for the map editor are in the help file).

There is no story line in the game it self as of yet, so I'll tell you what it will be.

There is an "evil scientist" who captured you and many others and trapped you in a vast mini-golf resourt. He uses you for tests of his new golf balls on his golf courses. You see no harm in it, and go along with it, playing through tournaments with other people with his golf balls that you earn.

What is in this version:
V0.2b
18 levels (12 files)
Level designer
Minimap
Basic gameplay elements

What is planned:
Some form of non-laggy terrain
More golf balls
...

Known bugs:
Most of the walls textures are repeated incorrectly (will be fixed asap)
There is a post in the corner in both the level editor and the game that shows up after loading the level.

Wow, it's 3D, but the ball didn't roll correctly. 9/10

Yes, sound will come in time, and I'm working on the ball rolling, but that's amazingly hard.

HOLY CRAP!

That was amazing! This makes me want to make a 3D game. This gets a 10/10, which is kind of rare for me.

Great job, it's the best mini golf game made in GM yet (that I've seen). Keep up the good work.

Wow, pretty awesome. Hopefully you plan on adding different things like windmills, loops(that might be hard), and other things like that.

9/10 for now

Kaz: If you look in the data (or is it graphics?) folder they are 3d models of a golf-windmill.
Anyhow its looking good and I've PMed you a link to the logo on the MCG forum.

Its good...really good...
But to those who rate it automatic 10's or 9's because of 3D:
It's really not all that hard to do. 3d isnt so hard.

@JID: CAPS LOCK MUCH
8/10
Was the ball supposed to spazz when it went in the hole? Ah well. Still a good game.

Nice work, but 8/10 for now. It needs more mini-golf stuff in it, like windmills, slopy terrain, and other random stuff you'd find.

Wow! This game rules! I'm not a big fan of mini-golf, but I couldn't stop playing. Until my dinner was ready, anyway... I'll give it 10/10

I know that. I've done 3D in the past. What I was amazed at is how well done it was.

I must say this...graphics are amazing, game is fun, and...overall, it's just awesome. sounds though? Ball does roll a little funny, and a quick overview of the entire course would be nice. Right? Otherwise, this is SOOOOO cool. 10/10 for now. I wanna see this done.

Wait wait! I take that back about the zooming out part. I found out you could zoom and stuff. Even better!

Bug: When you press start and the level LOAD screen comes up if u click a wrong file instead of a level you will get an error and u cnat ignore it u have to abort other then that and the wall glitch 10/10

Well, I'm working on a different loading system so you don't have to go into a browser. That, and I'm working on the wall glitch as well.

This game is really great in almost every way except for the wall glitching...that part is rather bad...

The level editor is pretty sweet, and the levels are pretty cool. You should add water hazards too and such. Or windmills or something that's just plain crazy. Good work...umm...although it is a little buggy, I like it way too much to rate it below a 10/10...I love mini-golf games...10/10...
