Weird golf with only 3 swings!

Made (barely) under three hours for the Trijam 256 (Feb/2024). Theme was "Only three".

Among the ideas that I had, one of them was for a golf game where you could swing only three times. But during the planning I noticed it could be difficult implementing different level heights on such a short time... so I changed the camera, and it worked much better!

The game also uses only three colors, for extra flavor. Using only one button for the controls was mainly to keep me from overcomplicating things.

Also, Godot's RigidBody2d and paper prototyping were the saviors while making this game.

 Inspirations: Golf games in general, I guess. Possibly there already exists a game that has the same idea as this one though...
