Here are my preliminary boost/power-up feature ideas/designs. Feel free to discuss, critique and add suggestions.

Possible boosts

• Stop! (stops the ball in its tracks)

• Speed boost (gives the ball a boost of speed in its current direction)

• Coins magnet (ball attracts nearby coins)

• Mulligan (player can redo their shot, all things collected on the shot remain collected)

• Do-over (player can scrap their turn and have another go from the beginning)

• Pitching wedge (player can chip the ball over things)

• Floaty (ball won’t sink in water)

• Off-road (ball unaffected by sand)

• Big Hole (makes the hole 50% bigger)

Boost Design 1

• Allow player to activate up to 3 boosts at the start of a match

• Boosts cost coins to activate

• Better boost cost more

• Coins collected on courses are added to your piggy bank

• Coins can be purchased from the store

• Boost Power Meter (only if required for balance)

• Boosts may need some other mechanism to balance them.

• A meter that is consumed when using a boost.

• Boost power can be collected on the course in the form of collectibles like the purple gem

• Different boosts consume different amounts of boost power

Boost Design 2

• All Boosts are always available.

• Activating boosts costs coins

• Coins collected on courses are added to your piggy bank

• Coins can be purchased from the store
