LBPGolfNA - Par 5

Archive: 18 posts


PSN: tsr13

This is a Par 5 hole for LittleBigChallenge 2: Golf Course! Enjoy true-to-life golf action, including shot-based scoring, hazards, and your own golf cart. Do you have what it takes to get a birdie? - (Thanks to hdak for the community font shapes.)

Yep, another golf course level. I spent quite a bit of time trying to actually make it play like golf and yet still be fun. There are sand traps, water hazards, fairways, rough, and of course a green. Both sand and water will result in a small distance penalty; water will also add a penalty stroke. Speaking of strokes, this level contains a full-featured shot counting system that will tell you how you did (par, bogey, etc.) and will reward you accordingly. Landing a birdie will net you a nice pile of score bubbles, while racking up 10 strokes won't earn you much besides being laughed at by the crowd. There are 9 possible scoring levels ranging from eagle to 10+ shots.

The golf action all takes place from your cart. Adjust your shot power, line up with the ball, and take a swing - you can watch your ball in flight and see where it lands. Hints and advice are available along the way from your faithful caddy, and you can preview upcoming hazards by grabbing a nearby camera.

Your golf cart radio is tuneable - choose from 5 different songs or simply turn it off if you wish. An in-depth tutorial (optional) is also included, complete with a small driving range so you can practice your swing before heading over to the tee.

You level really is amazing. It's now my favorite right before Jeayden's. I simply have no bad things to say about it. I could only wish for more holes!

You golf mechanic is impressive, clear, simple and effective. It's really really cool.

Best golf level ever! Although I dunno why you put points in the tutorial, to get the high score you have to do the tutorial now! 2009-04-13 22:25:00

I really liked this level, very fun and very polished. I thought this competition was kinda stupid, who wants a golf level, but this level surprised me!

+ Tutorial
+ A helper guy through the whole course
+ The camera to see the hazard is helpful
+ The camera follows the ball (This feature is awesome!)
+ golf cart and music!

- I guess the only thing bad I have to say is that it is a golf level. But besides that, very cool.

I'm thinking of building in another couple of hidden score bubble spots before tomorrow just to make things interesting.

Nemesis!!! lol of course i had to check out the competition great level you have here, I had a lot of fun with it. Your golf cart>mine simply because it looks like one, instead of a schoolbus I really liked the helper throughout the level, and you did a good job with the character there, the little irish guy fit in well.

The only problem I had was the forest hazard... I broke my ball there, and one time it got stuck so it wouldn't even move. So I hit it like 9 times just trying to get it to do something. well, that's what hazards are for, right?

Otherwise, fantastic job with the decor, and it had a very nice golf feel to it. I gave you a 5 star rating, even though all my instincts said "give him a 1! maybe you'll have a chance!" ;P but seriously, you did a great job here.

f4f: my golf level... of course

Checked it out last night and it's really got some amazing stuff going on.

Loved the intro to the level along with the wacky sound effects. Very playful. The instruction section is really thorough and doesn't take too long. I did find it a little annoying to have to run down there to grab the bubbles if I was going for a higher score.

First run through I did exactly what the caddy said and I kept overshooing the hole. Same thing the second time through. Decided third run through I wasn't going to take his advice and I pulled off an EAGLE! (3rd on the scoreboard as of last night!)

I love the cart and your landscaping too. Really nice design work and I liked the innovative use of the cherry blossom decor on the willow looking tree.

I'm not a golfer and have only found a handful on LBP I've really enjoyed and this is one of them. Nice work 5 stars and I've hearted it. Thanks for sharing it!

This level seems to be slipping under the radar! It's the BEST golf level I've played. I'd say the only other level that comes close is Jaeydens level. It works so fluidly, and the graphics are great!2009-04-19 03:58:00

Hey, thanks everybody for the support and all the plays - you guys (and gals) rock! I'm really excited to see this receiving so much attention.

I've been completely unavailable for the last 2 weeks, and while I've managed to squeak in a little PS3 time here and there it hasn't been nearly enough for my liking.

Now, time to start playing some levels, starting with TJapan's.
