I'm in love with this game, this is my favourite so far of the entire jam! I'm a sucker for a outside-the-box idea and cute character designs, this has both, and as a bonus, clever writing, well-fitting music and fun gameplay with different mechanics added such as the bomb and glass. Amazingly done!

so cute!!!
the character design in amazing!! all the art really!!
i loved the different mechanics too!!!
Some bugs with the aiming but was neat nonetheless! Sure has a 40s crime film vibe to it. Probably the most creative interpretation I've seen of the theme too, so nice job! Ain't nothin' like a strike to swipe away the smoke, even for just a teeny chunk longer, aye?
Absolutely insane entry, everything is so good I'm still shocked! Great art, concept, gameplay, music. If this was a full fledged game with some tweakings and more levels I would definitely buy it! Great job guys
An armadillo detective obtaining information by rolling into a ball and playing pool. This is such a profoundly bizarre concept, but the fact that it's presented completely seriously makes me adore it so much.
The gameplay is pretty fun, though I think it needed a little bit more polish. Regardless, I very much enjoyed unraveling the loopers mystery. My favorite character is the frog mobster who "deals in chalk, not in talk".
Well done my fellow detective!
Game page with the images are looking CRISP!
I really love your characters, your main-character is such a cool person!
Such a unique idea making the character cool/cute but also the ball itself.
I really like what you did here.
Simple, effective and fun! Good Job :D
I really enjoyed the theming and structure of this one. What could have been a simple pool game was made so much more memorable and enjoyable with wonderful art/animation and a fun detective story. The pool gameplay was a little bit jank at times, especially the rather untrustworthy shot prediction line, but the overall charm and the variety of challenges kept me invested.
You cooked and man is it delicious. I love the narrative and all the fun names for the characters. Using pool as the main action of the game is a banger idea. Incredible work!!!
Really loved the vibe and all those puns—had me grinning the entire time! The narrative-billiards twist is super clever, and the music really sells the atmosphere.
I got soooo loopy with this one. I like how the pool elements were forgiving (like being able to shoot whenever) for bad pool players like me :)
Love the vibe, definitely want to get more of Benny Bankshot adventures! The dialogue was great, loved the music, and the atmosphere! The controls were a bit of a struggle but I can definitely see how great it would be once they are polished :)
