All systems go, we're finishing off testing on Mani Golf, with an eye to submitting to app store on Thursday. Can't wait to see it out.
I'd love any feedback on the preview vids, or screenshots, please feel free to add any comments?
Thanks in advance.
Here's a Review:

If you're a Physics Game Fan, then there's another must have game to add to the collection, Sogoplay's Mani Golf. Featuring 36 superbly thought out holes spread over two themed courses, touch controls that are a joy, beautiful graphics, retina support, as well as a comical Main Character, and an enjoyably challenging difficulty curve that will keep you coming back for more. Mani Golf ranks highly amongst the Physics favourites on App Store.

The unique thing about Mani Golf was always that it wasn't a faithful Golf Game, more a fantastically addictive 2d platform game with a Golf theme. To take your shot, you now have touch screen pull back, to choose your power and direction, and it comes very naturally. You can also make use of your accelerometer, by tilting the phone to adjust the shot in the air or roll it along the ground, which is a fantastic feature, as there's many a gamer who tilts their controller/phone whilst playing, the beauty here is, it works!

Once you've picked your way through the courses, Mani Golf keeps you coming back for more, with the hole achievements, it becomes hard to resist replaying to achieve an Albatross on every hole, and with the implementation of Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements, there's further incentive to shave yet more shots and time off your score.

The music and sound are brilliant too, with the Main Character Gaylord Mulligan, a hapless Terry Thomas type Cad, endlessly wittering his way through the course, several of his catchphrases genuinely achieved a couple of laugh out loud moments. However if you grow sick of Gaylord, and well you might, you have the option of turning him off, but keeping the music on.

If you're a physics games fan, then you're pretty much guaranteed to enjoy Mani Golf, and if you're new to the Physics game genre, then this is a fantastic place to start.
