This is a great game! One request: there's a way to turn off the music but the sound effects keep playing. Could you make that button turn off all sound, not just the music? Or add another one to turn off the effects as well?
Thank you - that seems sensible, I'll fix that shortly.

That's good to know. Not sure if that's the case on Android - I don't think it is.
Ah yeah, I'd not clocked your link takes us to the relevant App Store so I'd assumed it was an iOS only game. It's great by the way! I've played a bit of desert golf over the years after reading a HN comment about it, and your game is a delightful improvement =]
I remember playing a game like this when I was a kid (25ish years ago) at school, except it wasn't golf, but rather a two player game where you shot gravity-assisted missiles at each other (think Worms-in-space). I remember it being on an Acorn Archimedes, but it may have been a PC.

Presumably you want to listen to music over it?
Mostly I just want to play it in situations where my phone making sounds might bother people.
I don't know whether you have access to the "Taptic Engine" API on iOS, but a tactile ping when striking the ball and thuds when it hits a planet surfaces could be nice.
That is a nice idea indeed. I'll have to look into it. I'm always a bit concerned about vibration in games since you don't know how intense it will be on different devices: it can be very tacky if it is over-the-top.
Odd bit of feedback for you and others - you should register your domain and put some placeholder content that at least a week before posting the link everywhere. Many corporate firewalls block brand new domains!
