Thanks! I would've kept tweaking the bounce physics, but something in my mind told me that was going to require some real thinking about physics (or at least going back and reallycribbing reverse engineering my source material) on top of probably switching to deltaT over per frame physics, but I didn't want to break something that was already working well enough.

Oooo, physics toys along the path could be really fun...I'll keep that in mind for the next iteration!

There was definitely a point where I was considering changing the ballance around how long it would take to get enough views to push the view count outside the bounds of the menu box. It would've been a great gag, but would've had to push it so far you really wouldn't get that reasonable first week. Glad it kept you into it for that long tho!

Bonus:

I had some idea for ways to bring idle game progression hooks into it, to maybe make it a bit more than re-treading known territory, but sadly didn't have time. But everything that did make it in is p. much just as I imagined, so still calling this a victory!

Yeah, for some reason sounds in Game Maker give me fits, so rather than fight with whatever problems they threw in the mix, I just pushed them off and off until they didn't make it into the game at all...

But I wanna revisit golf swings based games in the future, so I'll be able to skip right to finding the good sounds!
