This is "Guardians Of Lodino Forest" (G.O.L.F. for short); a surreal need to play experience, an amazing hybrid sports action-adventure rhythm game about shooting an Armored series of giant golf ball boss Guardians into submission and then striking them back into their lair for a hole in one!

Nice quick play. Very satisfying to knock one of these jerks in the hole.
ESP: Por un lado, la jugabilidad es interesante; se nota la inspiración en Space Harrier y la idea de pelear contra las pelotas de golf antes de poder embocarlas está bien lograda. El contenido no es mucho, se puede completar en menos de media hora. Son 18 hoyos en los que varían un poco los gráficos y los patrones de ataque de las bolas.
Si bien el minimalismo no me molesta, en este juego sentí que se podría haber trabajado un poco más, tanto en los gráficos como en el apartado técnico, ya que solo tiene dos opciones: mutear la música y pantalla completa. Cosas como guardar la partida o quizá leaderboards habrían quedado bien por poner ejemplos.
A pesar de esto, me divirtió, por eso el pulgar arriba.
ENG: On one hand, the gameplay is interesting. You can see the inspiration from Space Harrier, and the idea of fighting against the golf balls before being able to putt them is well executed. The content isn't much; you can complete it in less than half an hour. There are 18 holes where the graphics and the attack patterns of the balls vary a little.
While minimalism doesn't bother me, in this game I felt that they could have worked a bit more on it, both in graphics and technical aspects, as it only has two options: mute music and fullscreen. Features like saving the game or leaderboards would have been nice, just to give a few examples.
Despite this, I enjoyed it, so it gets a thumbs up from me.
This one is something special.
Killer OST,

GOLFING on THE MOON
He was a good old American boy:
Draped like an idol in the stars & stripes.
He was a firm believer in freedom
And the grand power of progress.
He was a bright, comic book Buck Rogers:
Made flesh & blood; stylish, cool & cocky.
O he dreamed of scaling heavenly heights
Like Belief's kind angels..o how he dreamed!
Yes he was born to roam the galaxy!
O if you could picture him in his prime!
With his bulky suit and bubble helmet
Dragging His N.A.S.A space cart behind him
To collect the random, lunar rocks;
Wearily climbing significant craters:
All in the name of cold, calculated science.
O but he is most fondly remembered
As the first man to hit a golf ball on,
The crude media saturated moon.
In that same crucial mission, he swung hard
And true with trusted, rusted six iron
At a teed up, miniature pock marked moon.
O yes it shot out of a spray of dust
And it traveled for miles & miles & miles...
Our hero would become immortalized!
A very light game, suitable for pick up and play and set and forget style gaming.
You have to get the ball into the hole, but the ball is evil and wants to kill you.
Some gameplay QoL improvements I would suggest is a level select and not getting brought back to the title screen when I hit the Esc key, but apart from that, it's fun to play for a little while.
This game is an absolute fever dream of golf and I am the best dont ever speak to me about it
And because mere walls and windows must soon drive to madness a man who dreams and reads much, the dweller in that room used night after night to lean out and peer aloft to glimpse some fragment of things beyond the waking world and the grayness of tall cities.
“Sonofab!tch, ball! Why didn’t you go home?! That’s your home! Are you too good for your home?! Answer me!”
WILD.
There really is no other way to describe this.
I saved the universe from Giant Balls
