Hey, you had a similar idea to mine. Nice work.

Submitted

This is an interesting game!  It reminds me of a game I made for a previous game jam.  Good job!

Submitted

Cool game, very polished!

Submitted

Nice game! I love the artstyle and its addicting but some levels are way too hard for me 😭😭

what an amazing work loved the way it gets crazy in the best way

May seems like an obvious take on the theme but in the end not many games applied the loop to something else than platformer. I love pool so I immediately liked your game! The games quickly becomes really chaotic but it’s fun. I’d love to see an option to play with more than one try each time. Congrats for your entry

Submitted

Really fun, and the audio and graphics are perfectly refined! Although it's up to luck whether or not you can make some shots, it's always satisfying to try a wacky angle and just barely make a shot that seemed impossible (and it's understandable why you wouldn't be able to guarantee solvable setups). I think it might be cool to have some powerups in the game that could maybe save you from a hopeless situation, though I don't know what form they'd take. The game is good and polished as is, though!

Super interesting take on pool. Has a lot of replay potential, becoming more aware of how to set each ball up early on. Really good take on the theme!

Submitted

Very interesting mechanic, I tried to use a past ball to do a trick, but I had some problems because I couldn't remember the exact trajectory, maybe a preview would be helpful.

Really cool pool loop. Fun idea and well executed. Couldn't get past 9 loops though!

Bravo! Very fun game, and a fun take on the theme.

This is fun! Solving with Poké Balls like this makes it surprisingly complex! Sometimes the ball takes a bit too long to stop, but it wasn’t a big issue. I really enjoyed it!

Sweet and simple little concept that works really well. The art and audio work together perfectly to get a very tactile pool table feel, and I like that there's no superfluous scoring apart from the current loop. Awesome work!

Submitted

The game's concept is nice and fun, and the aesthetics are good too. I appreciated the fact that the game doesn’t give you a game over when you make a mistake, instead, you can retry from the same pool ball. Good job!

Submitted

Such a well-executed concept given the time constraints. Visually, audio-wise, gameplay-wise—even the custom game intro is prepared. Congratulations on your submission and good luck! (In my opinion, it definitely deserves a spot in the top 10)

Submitted

Good work! I like the simplicity and creativity of the core mechanic. The art design and audio are strong and polished. I do wish the difficulty increased a bit more slowly and there was more of a reward for clearing stages (like maybe the ability use powers that can temporarily turn the ball you're shooting ethereal and have other balls pass through it). But the creativity of the mechanics kept me playing for a while despite that.

Something is very wrong about this game. I got to 11 and got stuck so bad BUT it feels relieve and soothing and I keep hitting that ball with satisfaction. You got 25/25 stars from me. I wish this game at top 10.

Submitted

Very satisfying visuals and sound, and simple idea executed well. Sometimes it feels like the game puts balls in the most unfair positions where there's seemingly no solution. But apart from that, it's fun figuring things in the most absurd scenarios. Well done!
