I have to agree with everyone else; great game, but the timer issue is unacceptably frustrating. At least 12 minutes real time and I end up with 452 seconds. Not even worth trying again.
Enjoyed! PloftKaploft, I flew through the first 22 and had a very hard time with the last few, so I think the order is fine - it's just that everyone processes logic different, so I don't think someone can actually "order" this correctly for everyone. I honestly couldn't find anything wrong. Pleasant graphics, smooth operation.
Really enjoyed this game. I think the only thing I dont' like is that the items are a little too random. I've played sometimes with a ton of "slow-down" power ups and nothing else, so I couldn't really score up for quite awhile. Other times, I can score up very quickly.
I see your point. Goes back to your Newtonian physics and balancing real world with game playability. And it doesn't matter what you choose, 50% will like it and 50% won't :)
FP, something I think would be valuable is having an "orbit" (within a certain distance) count for a planet visit. Makes it a little more natural to get that achievement during gameplay than going back later and bouncing off all the planets.
My missing planet ended up being Masters Cup, Hole 3, Top Left - HOWEVER, it won't stick no matter what I do to get it. It checks off green, then as soon as I'm done with the round, goes back to a red x. Frustrating!
So close... 9988km putt on Hole 6 of GH Cup. Bounced just a hair over the goal. Crap! But, what are the chances of that putt making it that close anyway :)
