10/10 incredibly fun and cozy. The soundtrack is a hit.

This is brilliant! I love the concept, the simplicity and the art, I especially love how seamlessly it blends into the itch.io page
Super chill. The decision to not have a goal but to just let the player keep trying as long as they want is a great fit for the game. It felt pretty hard though, I have no idea how people get to 10 or above, maybe I'm just bad :p
super cozy game... very polished and detailed. I've always wanted to play the GamePidgeon penguin game on my own! I got to level 14. Edit: got 14 in! but 15 might be the end for my run 😅. would be cool to see more modifiers, and also allow you to adjust your shot more finely, and see the indicator on top of the ball, rather than below it.
"POOL" "LOOP" Y'all musta been cracking up when you came up with that one.
Imma use this as therapy when I'm on a miniclips pool losing streak.
Excellent work.
Your game is very good, but the title is even better. Gj ! My highscore is 7, i don't know how people get over 10...
I wonder if you could mathematically find out what would be the highest score possible if you had perfect rng?
I love everything about this game 💯 Such a cool concept and beautifully executed! The variation might be a bit limited in the long run, but for a game jam this is absolutely amazing 🎱👏
interesting as hell. i love games where you have to work around your own mistakes. might be unbalanced and i know this isnt how real pool works but i kinda wish the full speed shot bounced infinitely, wouldve lead to some crazy solutions. overall though this is great, probably my favourite ive played so far. high score: 12
This is the best game I have seen in the game jam. So creative and addicting... The style is amazing yet simple
Another pool game!!!! I really love what you did here! I would play this for hours on my phone. I wish there were other ways to scale gameplay beyond just increasing the amount of balls, but over much excellent work! Would especially love your thoughts on our pool game. We leaned more into a pool RPG / narrative story around pool. Your pool mechanics are much tighter than ours, but would still love your thoughts!
Great work!
Super satisfying. I love pool game and even more pool trick shots apparently. It really captures this feeling. The fact that you can score past balls in different holes and it still works is also quite interesting as you have more options to pass the round. 12 was my max.
Only thing I would change is the amount of dragging you need to go max power, it is really short and it is hard to be precise !
Good job, I loved it !
Really cool use of the theme, very fun, and very satisfying sound effects.
