Mini Golf: Wacky Worlds by Glu Mobile was a fun project to have an opportunity to work on. It was winner of the "Bronze Award" from Pocket Gamer (more on that review here), and is a game featuring:

• FOUR WACKY WORLDS: Explore the wackiest courses ever imagined for an ultimate mini golf experience. Float on islands in the sky, dodge volcanoes in the sea, slip and slide on the ice, and jump over rivers of melted cheese!
• DIVERSE AND CREATIVE MINI GOLF EXPERIENCE: Play through 40 uniquely different holes with interactive scenery and striking 3D graphics. Play around giant mushrooms, rivers of lava, snowy beasts, and lumps of cheese. Watch out for the dynamic obstacles and be sure to knock out all the gophers in Gopher Mode.
• FOUR CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS: Visit the pro shop to upgrade your equipment, personalize your characters and buy better clubs, like the Gyrohop Mark III and the Robosteer 1000!
• SHOW OFF YOUR SWING: Touch and tilt to control the ball and earn up to 15 achievements to unlock courses and show off to your friends.

I worked primarily in the pre-production stages which gave me the chance to do the early concepts for the Cheese Moon level. Here is a look at some of those early concepts:

And here is a look at what it all looks like finalized in game! Check it out if you like mini golf!
