I wasn't expecting a game like this one this morning. Very cool concept, very fun execution, it's got a lot of sauce and swagger, the snap of the balls themselves is very satisfying, the whole vibe feels kinda like a Pool-Balatro thing. Poolatro. Billiatro? (Back to Rack is a great name tho srsly)

10/10 no notes, this game rocks.

Great game! The art is really good. I really like the idea of unlocking different types of balls with different abilities.

Nice game! if you take feedback : i found the rotation controls to be too slow

super unique and really tough. I loved adding ball modifiers, and I like how you implemented the ball reset and the trade off.

Visually I think the game is very pretty and easy to understand. I especially liked the slot machine animation. 

From an Audio perspective, I really like how each ball modifier had some unique audio element. The balls are so small that it really made the difference in telling just what I had hit.

As far as feedback goes, it may be too hard without some way to restart a round.

Fun and unique game and take on the theme. well done.

Nice wacky idea with great graphics. Feels very polished.

Really nice idea, and the graphics were pretty cute! I did find it extremely hard tho. Probably a skill issue and not a difficulty issue

The delay in controls really feels off, but I really like the idea and execution!

Very cool concept, nice artwork, and great sound design. Very challenging as well! Adding mouse controls might speed up the game a bit, but the current control scheme works well.

Awesome game! Love the art style and mechanics!

Ya'll really cooked with this one, The art style and sound design are really well done. and the concept of reverse pool with unique balls that you have to gamble to get really spiced it up and was really fun to play. Great Job! :)
