I loved Desert Golfing, and also love gravity games (Angry Birds Space is great, and Mario Galaxy is one of my top games ever) but I really wasn’t enjoying this until I read a comment here mentioning hard mode being more fun. I never would have tried out hard mode on my own, or bought the full game, due to the main mode being so hard and, for me, unrewarding.
I’m finding hard mode easier in a way. I learn something between each shot, where I don’t necessarily when I land on different planets and have to make a brand new shot. This also just keeps my motivation up. Coming into a new level in Desert Golfing I usually see some way to get the hole in one, and can evaluate less risky plans that make progress — I get very little of that in this game. So having a mode that lets me learn from each shot helps.
I think what I’d really like is a mode that resets unless you land on the target planet. Let me make the putt. The aforementioned ghost arrow would be nice too.
