Well is it possible o leave the scores as they were and have the new effect take place starting the level they are on? It really is a pickle. But I do agree the ball should go back to the position you shot it from. Billy
Bought on this alone. e: re - water holes In real golf you either replay the shot or drop the ball from behind where it entered the water. I dunno if putting the choice in is feasible, so either option works for me. e2: The tapping finger icon is super confusing. It looks like it wants me to flick or tap where I want the ball to go or something. I would have no idea how to shoot properly from it if I hadn't lucked into seeing the yellow line once. e3: I just had an ad pop up. Either something's still screwy or Japan's ads aren't disabled
Hi I think You should leave the scores. If someone wants to erase and improve their scores, reinstalling the game is the solution. Pedroapan
I've had ads pop up in the UK too. This is brilliant though, I'd echo the comments above and what's really annoying me is if I click on the screen during the fly over it registers as a shot.... I'd prefer a click and go to the tee to start method I've lost count of the amount of shots I've wasted by doing it without thinking.
Hi all thanks so much! It's not my day - I have now had another go at disabling the ads and I think they really really should be dead now! Sorry once again! Based on your feedback I'm proposing to make the change the reposition the ball at the position of the last shot rather than the start of the hole. Short term pain for a few players vs long term pain for everyone seems the right call! Thanks for helping me get there! I've fixed the 'touch during flyover' bug already, sorry for that one The "finger of doom" has also been improved! I'm going to ask Apple for expedited review to address the IAP problem - will report back here with the response
Expedited Review Great news and huge kudos to our friends at Apple - MiniGolf Endless MMO is having an expedited review to address the IAP problem. Hopefully will be live today or tomorrow The release also includes the change to reposition the ball at the last shot location (with a +1 penalty), like in actual get-out-there-and-hunt-for-lost-balls Golf Thanks all for the enormous support
I like it as it is, it's bigger loss if you hit in the water. It make you think before you hit because of the punishment given of going back to the start. Not seeing the map gives the player a surprise of what's coming up. It's the simplicity of the game is what makes it so good. I would not over complicate it.
Update Just to confirm the update is now live so 1. The IAP now works correctly, apologies once again! 2. When you hit in water your ball returns to where you just hit from instead if going back to the start. You receive an extra +1 shot penalty- this is like in real golf 3. Scores and progress will be unaffected by the update 4. If you lost a lot of shots to water getting where you are you have the option of resetting your score by deleting the app. Thanks again all and please let me know what you think of the other small changes in the update!
Thanks so much L0ck, your post was extremely useful, great to meet ya Edit: I also love that golfing metaphor haha!
Yeah, the greens where the ball just rolls off like the slopes are made of ice are super annoying. That really could use some more tweaking. But I live the MMO aspect of it...landing the top score on a hole (#30, wooo!) is pretty awesome, and seeing all those ghost balls flying alingside yours is a nice touch. e: I get the impression since you don't want to inclue a free look feature, and since time is part of the ranking, that you're going for a kinda speed-golf vibe? If so, maybe make that more clear somehow? Otherwise the lack of free look feels, er, lacking. Dunno, just some thoughts. I really want to love this game more, the idea is awesome and when things click it plays great. But those superslick greens, I think it was hole 15 for me too that had me attempting the same shot like 10 times in a row.
So you can cheat by shutting down the app for as many free Try's as you like. That seems pretty broken.
@L0ck thanks again for the insightful comments. Some good food for thought there! I suppose my attitude to it is a kind of 'throwaway holes' idea, since there are an unlimited number of them I guess a few duds don't matter ?! I like the different challenge of the greens but I'll think carefully about that. Streamlining things and not annoying people are definitely high priorities! @grits if anyone takes this game seriously enough to make a habit of that then I would be flattered (and somewhat surprised!!) - I'd put that in the category of "nice problems to have"! The community have really helped so far, I would LOVE to hear your ideas for new features... I'm considering day night cycles and weather effects for variety, more achievements and running-average leaderboards (after you reach say 18 holes). New course graphics and various other things like ducks rabbits etc are possibilities too - anything that doesn't get in the way of the gameplay ... let me know!
The hole fly over needs to be fixed. It makes a straight path to the tee and there are some holes where a dogleg prevents you from seeing what the layout is. You are essentially making a blind shot which is beyond frustrating. Also wish the ball wouldn't drop you back at the tee after a water hazard. Love the leaderboard!
