Aha perfect!

Also idea for a power up if you're so inclined: when you get a hole in one on normal mode, visualize the gravity wells for the next level or two.

That's a nice idea - might be a bit tricky though. I'll consider it.

I like the ghost arrow idea a lot - I'm thinking of adding that to hard mode.

Yeah by all means you don't have to implement what everyone suggests.

Another suggestion: replay shot.i just had a hilariously roundabout hole in one. I wish i could replay it to grab a video to share (and therefore advertise your game!)

Yeah, the replay is an idea I'd like to implement - just need to work out how to do it easily without going down a rabbit hole..

Surely just record the last shot parameters? or even all shot parameters?

As long as the simulation is deterministic you'll be good to go.

Given a level and a list of velocities any sequence of shots should be reproducible.

Share replay feature is live in the store!
