    Ok, this game started off good but the levels got too crazy quick. I agree with the comment on the main site that complained you can't make progress towards the goal on most of these courses. Either you get there in 1 shot or you get nowhere. That's not golf at all.

    Cog Climber is really frustrating me in this regard, I am at over 100 shots. I have a feeling I will just randomly get it at some point, but that's not skill, it's luck, and honestly it's not very fun.

    Also, it's really hard to see what's going on for the huge levels.

    If you release an update in the future I would suggest more simpler levels like the ones in the first half of the game, where there really is a golf style of making progress towards the hole and an attempt to minimize strokes.

    Thank you,
    Jeff

    Bump? I never said bump. Though bump is a very good game. (Seriously, I actually did write bump instead of Melon Golf when typing that >>; ) I think my favorite level is cog climber, because one, it reminds me of Cogs, and two, it's neat when you get it right. Man, I really wanna play Cogs.

    Like, really badly.

    Really really badly. I need a better laptop. >>;

    Minor interface issues

    I'm not a fan of that interface. Actually I have a few interface issues:

    1. Double tapping to cancel (and end) a shot. More than once I've done it accidentally out of impatience, and then it costs me a shot. Maybe a diagonal swipe across the screen would be better?

    2. What is the difference between practicing in Normal and practicing in Hole In One?

    3. As I look at all the courses to practice on, I have to enter each course to see my record. It would be more convenient to tap on or center a course on screen to see its record, then tapping (again) to play it.

    4. I can zoom in, but it seems to only zoom on the center, and then the screen seems to go crazy when I try to pan around, or it ends up taking a shot for me? It's quite confusing.

    5. A fast forward button on the screen please? Just run the simulation N times for every 1 render.

    These are small issues though. So far I really like the game. Good aiming controls and feedback, excellent graphics design (reminds me a lot of Patapon/LocoRoco), and the number of holes for 99c looks like great value.

    Great job.

    I actually prefer the double tap but maybe add an option for that

    practice is doing each hole while normal is doing the whole course

    I agree with that one

    ...?

    I dont think it needs a fast forward as they are short but faster animimations and not making us wait for it to finish.

    If only papaton came to itunes that would be amazing

    lol- I feel like an idiot.

    I initially hated this game because I thought it was too hard. I thought in order to launch the ball you had to touch the ball and pull back from there, not realizing you could touch anywhere on the screen.

    Now that I get the controls, I love this game! I would love to see more levels made

    Yes - there's an update coming to fix the issue where you slide seemingly forever on some of the slippery surfaces. It also fixes some depth fighting glitches on some hardware, and Birdie spelling.

    Apparently updates can take as long as the applications themselves to approve though, so it might be a while coming.

    Well, it's already made it to the Games Top 100 (barely), so there's a good chance that we'll see more content.

    I talked to BA a while back about this before.

    He has played it and from his response i think he enjoyed it somewhat the least but the reason for no review was of the short game play
