2. Current Viable Solutions (Obstacles)
I like the idea of a hill that you
have to hit the ball so it goes up
and down.
freegameaccess.com
This one has many different kinds
of hills and jumps that we could
incorporate for our designs
robingames.com
I like this loop, because it’s
practical because the ball won’t just
fall when it get to the top.
games.multimedia.cx
All of the obstacles are very
exciting, because of their
originality. I especially like the
windmill and moving ramp.

3. I like the idea of a jump that could
have to go to another platform.
lisisoft.com
I like the swirly hole. It is an
uncommon design that is slightly
difficult to get past.

Current Viable Solutions (Putters)
I like all of the bright colors. They
are visually appealing and make the
product appear more exciting

These putters have more geometry
and look more interesting.

This one is ambidextrous and it
also had a center line allowing the
person who is putting to see if
they’re lining the shot up correctly.
