I'm so hyped

This is a great little game and I've enjoyed playing it quite a lot! But I'm having a bit of an issue with missed inputs and delayed / laggy keyups with both this and another game of yours that I played (Pakpok). This is playing on Firefox 83. This might be just the computer being too slow to run the cart, but I don't remember any issues with PICO8 Celeste and played a couple of levels just now and didn't see any missed inputs.

This hasn't made the games unplayable - I only see missed inputs or delayed keyups every few minutes or so, but it's very annoying when it happens.

I recorded a delayed keyup in Pakpok along with my keyboard inputs, and slowed it by 50% to make the issue more obvious. (The issue looks exactly the same when it happens in Flip Knight.) You can see in the recording that I continue moving to the right at least 14 frames (recorded at 24 fps) after I've released the right arrow key.

Not quite, I got a -40. ;-) That's the best I know for sure you can do, but it might be possible to hole-in-one #11 or hole-in-two #8. I'm pretty sure you can't go beyond -42 though. 

Really loved this game and the soundtrack, btw. I'll be checking in later to see if it becomes a complete game.

One bug is that typing 'm' on the high score screen will toggle the mute. There's also a glitch where sometimes you putt backwards, but I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it. 

Update: I succeeded on getting a hole-in-one on #11, a hole-in-two on #8, and one more improvement. So -43 is theoretically possible. If you consider adding more features I think an expert mode with harder pars would be fun, since it's very easy to hit par currently. I'd suggest 1,2,2,2,1,4,2,3,2,1,3,2,2,2,3,2,1,3, or 38 total strokes, or -34 under the current par.  It's possible to get under that par for at least 8 holes.
