This mood of this game is creepy and I like it. Cool mechanic with splitting the balls. Good job on the game!

Played this really late at night, i absolutely dig the somber ambience you've created there !

- had a pretty spooky quality to it that i really enjoyed ^^

Good old game of pool, splitting the pool balls in half is an interesting mechanic that i'd be interested to see expanded gameplay-wise, has some potential ^^

Would have liked to have a way to progress the dialogue manually instead of it advancing forward by itself though, it ends up being pretty hard to read some of the lines since they progress so quickly !

I'd love to see more of this though, very nice work !

Glad you felt the vibe I was going for. I do wish I had more time to polish the dialogue system and have more dialogue + story. I do plan on making a full game out of this soon...

this was pretty neat! at some times i felt the ball mechanics were a little unfair and lost some lives, but overall great atmosphere, this was super impressive

Developer

The ball splitting mechanic was very fun. I feel like I'm too old to get the hat man reference, but I'm glad he has a hat.

Love the style with the models/textures. Similar vibe to Buckshot Roulette with a great twist on pool. Could see this be expanded pretty easily with many unique modifiers as part of the progression. Great job!

Great vibe. Liked the story element and loved bathroom layout. Would love to see more of this so do please continue working on it over the holidays or sth. The ball splitting mechanic is a great touch on pool. Wish Hatman wanted to talk more. Great job!

Developer

I loved the aesthetics and the pool felt really good.

Nice texture and environment, it’s really short but i thinks you capture quite well the feeling of hitting the ball

Finished it! Good job on the environment and textures. The way you cut to the guy talking and stuff has a very creepy quality.. reminds me of some game.. can't remember. But overall nice job!
