Still love the game (the leaderboards aren't a big deal for me, so I don't care if people can buy power ups in offline games). The hacking sucks, but hopefully it will at least be obvious when someone has hacked (like that screenshot). I have yet to run into any hackers in my online games, though mostly I'm playing with friends anyway, not randoms. But... I need more courses! ETA???
I actually didn't find impossible land super difficult with a little practice; with the glaring exceptions of the hole with the vertical moving bricks and the hole with the horizontal spinning ball. All of the other holes can be fairly easily completed (albeit not perfectly) with precision shots with the clean ball (thus the practice). I'd be happy to provide specific advice on how I did specific holes if anyone wants. That being said, I still haven't successfully completed the impossible land hole in one challenge and it's the last one I have left. Any tips?
Tip: Spoiler I did it with an accurate shot (vertical shot between the small sand traps) with a nitro ball and "Man-stache" 15% more power hat.
Hrm. I tried that, but gave up. I'll have to try it again. Thanks. Edit: Very touchy with my big clumsy fingers, but I was eventually successful. Thanks again!
I have tried that over and over without luck. Are you Spoiler bouncing off the right wall? I get it very close, but always just a tiny bit too short. Frustrating. But on the other hand I finally got under par on Impossible Land! -8. The stick to greens hat worked great. Made it much easier, though it still took a few tries. I didn't do this "clean", but I can see it being doable, at least somewhat, with that hat. I'll have to go for that next.
I gotta admit, I'm not having much fun on impossible land. I went ahead and did a run through for cash. I think I have $2 left to collect. I'll finish up getting a bronze and the cash at least. Not sure the clean ball is in my future because of hole 5. I think that's the one, with the tiny channel you have to hit twice in order to get it in the hole. The hat that lets the ball stick to the green definitely helps though.
Spoiler Try [clean ball] - 1st shot: default position, power just under tick 4 / 2nd shot: arrow aimed at lower half of channel, power between beginning and middle of final tick. Slight adjustments to power on the first shot will affect where you land (toward back or front of block) and may necessitate an upward or downward adjustment on the second shot.
Wow, I was doing it the hard way EDIT: Finished about 8 of these events now. Gosh it's so much easier being able to just replay the hole through the practice screen. I can't believe how hard I had made that part of the game.
Well, I've now completed every single player challenge except for the Impossible Land clean ball which is wholly related to my inability to complete holes 6 (rolling ball) and 8 (vertical blocks) with any sort of regularity. I can routinely get to the 6th hole at or around 10 under, but at that point, it's a complete crap shoot. Literally.
I'm pretty much not planning on getting the clean ball on impossible land until it's the last thing I have left to do. The first few holes I can knock down with ease, but then everything starts to go downhill after that. I probably just need to practice each hole till I'm just near perfect on each one... then go for it. I ended up finishing all but 2 of the achievements for those special finishes. The ones left are: Impossibly Possible - Get a hole in one on hole 3 of Impossible Land & Green With Envy - Complete hole 4 of Greens Land without hitting the green. On the last one, I've completed it several times without hitting the green. Both with and without powerups. Nothing. What a pain to finally hit the gap and it not register. I wonder if the area to the right of the green where the sand trap is, is considered part of the green or something? Either way, getting all of those achievements landed me some coin... I think I can outright purchase a hat. Not going to do that until later though.
