I really liked this one. I kind of like that there's no shot counter, or way to lose. I would have liked some kind of mellow music to be playing in the background while lining up my shots though to complement the chilled nature of the game. Well done!

Super Arcade ReboundVery original idea. In the middle of my play-through I though "Oh, this is like a pool game and a golf game mixed!" and then I re-read the name and felt really dumb hahahaha.
Quite a smart idea that fits the theme!
Since you had some time left, some simple background music would be a nice and simple way of elevating the game. There is a lot of free music in the community! Some way to feel 'challenged' is also something I notice makes the players more invested (some countdown timer, or some score, or max movements, etc).
Also, games with HTML5 versions get much more visibility on most Jams. And I believe Gamemaker has some html5 export functionality built-in (that's what you used for the game, right?).
Good job :)

I agree as a person who only likes to play web version and not download files.
I have not played this for that reason but I hope others do.
Nothing against you or the game i just have had issues before form itch.io files.
Only leaving a comment so you know I was here to play the game.
Thank you! I would've added music and some goals like a certain amount of shots give a certain star count, but some real life stuff happened on the submission day so I couldn't work for the last 30 minutes. I'll add them to the game when I have time later (if it doesn't disqualify my game), and yeah, I used gamemaker, which does have a html5 export option in pretty sure, so I'll add that when I can as well.
Thanks for the feedback!
