The latest update for Super Stickman Golf should start appearing on the app store shortly. It’s a small bug fix update which (we hope) addresses the issue with the nitro ball unlock. It should also introduce some more stability when setting up online multi-player matches. Any issues? Let us know.

I have 33 achievements and still no nitro ball… After the update..
Turn on airplane mode on your device. (turn off all data access (wifi and 3G)). The open the app, and click ‘game center’, then click ‘achievements’. You will see a list of achievements (not the game center view). Count the number of achievements in that list. (Sometimes there is a difference between the number of achievement unlocked on the device, and the number of achievements on game center).
Well Will, that sucks… I have exactly 30 achievments. I had these before the new updates was released, when I opened up the game 2 min ago after updating and everthing, Nitro Ball worked just fine. It’s REALLY a fun power-up and I’ll beable to go back to all the courses and get higher scores on all courses! Thanks for the fast fix Jordan. Really good update. Can’t wait to get the “free” courses on ours!
Thanks for the fast response Jordan, however even after trying your suggestion, still no nitro ball. I wonder if the multiplayer achievements are counting towards the 30, because if not, that may be why it hasn’t unlocked.
Have you seen the nitro ball unlock screen yet? It’s a big screen that pops up when you reach 30 and explains how to use the powerup…
Fixed, it’s exactly what you were saying, I have different achievements on multiple devices and game center was showing them as all on one device, just got another achievement and it unlocked, now I’m excited. Thanks for such a great game, I recommend it to all my friends!
Great! When iOS5 comes out, hopefully the issues with data storage on different devices can get synchronized through the new cloud storage feature. Cheers!
The update worked for me – nitro ball now unlocked. Great power up!
Would love to see turn based multiplayer instead of (or in addition to) the “race” style that is currently in place. You know, like real golf!
It would be better suited for on the go quick play stints..
MrShoop, I do agree, it would be nice to see it as an option forsure, but race style would definatly have to stay. I love it. I do however think Jordan should put an option for “hard multiplayer”. Let us have one of each powerup for the whole course!
Same here, 30 achievements & no Nitro ball.
I have earned achievements on two different devices, so I figured that was the problem. I tried turning on airplane mode, killed the app and restarted, but when I go to the achievements screen it just tells me that it is “unable to load achievements”.
Hi Scott. Repeat what you did above AND make sure you have logged out of game center before you turn on airplane mode.
I have 30 achievements and no nitro ball……. Also can u make it so the multiplayer online is stroke play instead of racing to be first?
I finally got it to work following your instructions thank you!!! But could you please seriously consider multiplayer stroke play instead of racing?
Logging out of Game Center did the trick. I didn’t need to go into airplane mode, I simply declined the prompts to log into Game Center. Only 21 achievements on this device. Do I need to stay logged out of Game Center while I re-earn the missing achievements? This seems like a really big kludge… Still my favorite game on the iPad, but man.
In addition to getting achievements device-independent, it would be great to have level unlocks be device-independent. Seems silly to have Game Center integration if I still need to play through everything on both devices.
I just got the latest version. Network play is pretty bad. Tons of delays. Im a huge fan of this game but its becoming unplayable (at least the most fun part which is multiplayer)
Though the game is still ridiculously fun
In the description of this update, it mentioned about a new course that make use of Nitro’s power. Anyone knows where is that? I have briefly scrolled thru all courses but couldn’t find any new course.
Jordan answer my question and change multiplayer
@Alien – The new course was the Mustard Grove course. It’s at the end of the expansion course list. We are working on putting in 3 new courses into the next update. They will also most likely be added to the expansion course back
@Jeo – Network play sometimes really depends on the quality of your network connection. Playing over a cellular network could potentially product a lot of latency and thus a lot of lag. A good internet connection over wi-fi is often the best for playing real-time networked games
@Leo – We will not be changing multiplayer. We decided to make it a race type game because doing stoke based play takes too long, and would require us to buy our own server to host matches on… Something that just isn’t in our budget as a small startup. When Apple releases iOS5, there may be an opportunity for us to implement a turn based game as Apple is building support for it in game center. You can read more about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technologies/ios5/
Jordan I entirely understand and respect that. I thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I do hope that you make the multiplayer stroke play at some time.
A couple of things for you Jordan. Since the latest update, nitro ball worked (the one time I was able to access the app). However, since then, it has crashed every single time I have attempted to open it. It goes to the loading screen for a couple of seconds, and then kicks me back out to my iPad’s home app screen. Any help on this?
Second, you mention network has a lot to do with multiplayer lagging, however that is not true in my case, as I play on my iPad, connected to my highspeed home/office network that works perfectly for every other app I have. I have to quit about 25% of my matches due to the horrible lag.
Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
What’s with the global high scores. How can it be possible for someone to have a tour score of over -320 when the tour is only 6 courses. Super tour is a 284 strokes tour.
Am i missing somthing?
Super tour is 8 courses… And the pars are: 52+51+60+49+53+68+54+51 = par 438.
Sorry, I stand corrected. I was looking at the expansion tour and the super scores. My bad.
No problemo
It would be nice to have a leaderboard for each courses on tbe future release. By the way i’m addicted to the game. I unlocked all achievements. Now working my way up on the leaderboard.
Cheers
The nitro ball automatically unlocked when I got my 29th achievement and unlocking it gave me my 30th achievement. But I got the nitro ball before getting the super ball so now I have the nitro (which sucks, would be better if it gave you more of a boost AND IN THE DIRECTION YOU’RE GOING NOT JUST STRAIGHT UP). Anyway I need help because I beat the dungeon -14 under par several times and I’m not getting the stupid super ball. >:(
Why was my comment deleted? I need help!! I have the nitro ball but no superball! I beat the dungeon many times which completes the classic course section and I’m not getting the superball. I unlocked the nitro ball before the superball. If this is a bug can you please fix it? Thanks, and hoping that my comment won’t be deleted again.
My apologies, my comment was not deleted. I posted on my iPod and went on my laptop later and didn’t see it and jumped to conclusions. Sorry again.
When selecting the course to play in single player mode I understand what the star means, gold for -10 or better. Bronze for under par… But what does it mean when a golf ball shows up just above that star? Does that mean the best possible score has been obtained?
The white ball, mean you’ve completed a course under power without using a single powerup.
Jordan, I hate to ask, but seeing Baked’s comment above I can’t help but ask… Will there ever be a “gold golf ball”. One we can earn right beside the white one? It would have to be earned by completing the course with no power-ups and a -10 score. I know it sounds HARD but just let us have it. it would be SO fun going back to the levels to get that! thanks!
(opps, NOT baked, but DomNader)
(sorry)
Ha! Darren, that’s funny because looking back at my comment I still don’t have the superball. But I’m stuck with the nitro ball which I never use.
Baked – Nitro ball is actually really good, you just have to bank shots. This game isin’t complete without superball though. I’m sure in a future update, all will be fixed.
Enter your comments here…Since update, it crashes ALL THE TIME. I can’t even play anymore – any help?
@Ct – What device and OS version are you using?
A simple “yes” or “no”?
We will probably not be doing much more in terms of adding new features to SSG at this point. We’re spending most of our time on a new game these days.
Any hints on the new game? Im stoked!
Whenever I open up SSG, an error message opens and says “Game Center is not supported” I have a 3G. I am trying to play online but this is stopping me. Any help would be appreciated.
Apple does not allow Game Center on 3G devices. It is only available on 3GS and later devices. See http://www.apple.com/game-center/ for more info.
I can play online and I want my dollar Back or fix my problem cuz I love this game soooooo much I play online on my iPhone no problem and I got the game free but on my ipad2 not even one time have I got to play online HELP ME PLEASE really miss the battles!!
hey, first of all your game is awesome.
Second, i found a bug with achievements. I have both he ice ball and the air brakes but it doesn’t acknowledge that i have them. I tried syncing or w/e my achievements but they still go uncredited.
Please fix the multiplayer lag! Its driving me insane!!!! Why does it take 5 seconds after I swing the club for the ball to go anywhere when the person I play against hits the ball right away!!!! Also, add an option for stroke play in the multiplayer. this is close to being the best game of all time but its not their yet.
What is the difference between the superball and the nitro ball? How do you unlock the superball?
Have all 43 achievements and beat all courses under par. What a blast of a game guys, truly it’s the best multiplayer game I’ve played on the iPad. But we need more content, achievements, power ups, etc.
Thanks!
One more thing guys… When the stroke play option was mentioned, I thought “yes!” but then I realized that Jordan thought of it as Words With Friends-style. I’m thinking stroke play as in wi-fi multiplayer. Just like it is now, but strokes rather than fastest player.
Cheers guys!
Hello
One Question.
On my Iphone I become always the message: Game Center is not supported!
What can I do?
I want to play the Multiplayer-Modus.
Hey Noodlecakers!
I have a question. I just upgraded from an iPad to and iPad 2 and of course backed up all of my apps and such on the iPad and synced my iPad 2. I had all achievements and powerups unlocked. Now it seems I have to play the whole game over again to get all my powerups and unlocked levels back. SSG is a blast but I’ve already done all this once. :/ Is there any way I can get my unlockables back? Game Center correctly lists all the achievements for SSG.
Thanks!
Charlie
Hey! First off, love your game!! But on my iPhone I have no nitro ball with 31 achievements
another update coming?
Hey guys! I am currently running the newest version and have met requirements for Nitro Ball, however it still will not unlock :/
Hello
I have a possible bug going on with multiplayer. My opponents occasionally take their first shot while my countdown is still on 2 or 1. Was thinking this may be something to do with lag but on some levels their ball is in the hole before my guy has finished his backswing! Makes multiplayer pretty frustrating.
I am unable to make the air brakes work. I was able to unlock them and can choose them in power ups at the start of a course, but how do you apply them after you hit the ball?
I just hit 30 achievements and the Nitro Ball did not unlock for the iPad. Any suggestions?
30 achievements.
No Nitro Ball.
Multiplayer is seriously flawed… Everyone but me is shooting while it is still counting down 3…2…1… by the time I get to shoot everyone else is done… level the playing field please!
