One good shot might ruin your whole chance at clearing the hole, forcing you to start again and again until you get it right.
#TORRENT WORMS CRAZY GOLF TRIAL#
What a lot of the game boils down to is a lot of trial and error – trying to find just the right angles, power level, and timing to get the ball from start to cup. You also have an unlimited supply of ‘ball control’, allowing you to add a subtle amount of spin while it’s in the air to help the ball get just a little bit closer to where you want it go. You can make the ball far more elastic, blast it upwards for extra height, or slow time for tricky shots, among other tricks. As you play, you’ll also unlock special abilities that can be applied to your ball, with each one only have a limited amount of usage per hole. You have a selection of different clubs to pick from, each with their own trajectory to keep in mind as you take a swing. You’re also given several tools to make use of on your quest for the trophy, all of which you’ll need to call upon sooner or later. If you use all of these things together just right, you can carry your ball incredible distances with just a single shot, and this often becomes necessary to make par. Others are somewhat more helpful – trams that can carry your ball from place to place, teleports, and cannons that can be angled to launch the ball further. Often more vexing are things like magnets, which can push and pull your ball off its projected course unless you find and the switch that controls them. These explosions can both push your ball off of its path or blow open new routes to the cup. Many courses are littered with things that explode if they’re struck, such as explosive barrels, land mines, animals, or other worms just trying to do the groundskeeping. It wouldn’t be a very Worms-like experience if the geometry was your only concern, however. From the first handful of holes you’ll be encountering things like floating chunks of land, underground tunnels, and ramps your ball can roll upwards and downwards.
The further you get, however, the more surreal the courses themselves become, however.
You’ll constantly run into the usual golf concerns, such as water hazards, sand traps, and the occasional wandering animal. Instead, it’s your ball you’ll have to be concerned about as it navigates the various hazards you’ll come across. Thankfully, your worm will automatically teleport to the ball between shots, preventing you from having to navigate the course yourself and risk getting blown up. Just don’t hit the red zones, or else you’ll screw up your swing and waste a precious shot. Release just before the red zone on the meter to achieve the expected trajectory, or hit the sweet spot just inbetween the red zones for an “overdrive” shot, sending the ball much higher and further. It all starts off with the swing – take aim using the trajectory guide the game offers, hold down the button to build power, (or, optionally, press the swing button, wait, and then press it again) and then release. With that in mind, it’s a little simplistic, and makes for what’s generally a very light and fluffy, “pick up and play” game – not that such things are unappreciated.Ĭrazy Golf is more of a puzzle game with golf trappings than a true example of the sport, meaning that any experience with a traditional golf game is unlikely to be of any help. It’s actually somewhat of a remake of several games released in the past for Java phones, with far more mechanics to make use of and content to play through.
#TORRENT WORMS CRAZY GOLF SERIES#
Such is the case with Crazy Golf – far from brilliant, but an entertaining spinoff that makes use of the series “aim, launch and fire” in a unique new way. Although they’re not always gold, such in the case of Worms Blast, it’s always good to see the franchise try something new just for variety’s sake. With Worms as a series so often being about reiterating and improving on the same basic mechanics, the times when it breaks out of that mold are often particularly refreshing.
