I thought the concept was nice. I liked the chill music and I liked the art style and the effects you had.

Feedback: 

Controls for aiming and throwing definitely need adjustments because they felt too low on sensitivity, control and smoothness. I'd have to use my cursor almost all the way off the screen just to land on the edge of the pots. 
It would be nice to see an indicator as well on when you aim and throw. 

Overall, cool stuff

I tried to use a combination of release speed and distance, but I don't think it translates well to new players. I definitely agree it needs an indicator. Thanks for the feedback!

I tried this in Firefox on a Mac and it worked OK. The response was not super fast and therefore it was even harder to get the ball in the cups. Would be great if you can make it run well on a mobile device.

Pretty cool. The old classic carnival game in a digital format!

I think it would have been neat to have some type of power meter or something to show how hard we threw it or something. I felt like it either always went too far, too short to go over the wall, or exactly into the lava pit.

The points could be better distributed. I kept getting 5 points, then 10 points. But then one of my shots actually went in. 125 points. lol. I figured the scoring system should be a bit closer to darts making it more fun to compete with someone. The holes could be a bit bigger but the ball still goes in so its good. :)

But it was fun! I stopped trying it because the game only lets you retry once. After your second try, the browser has to be refreshed. But the game itself is pretty cool. :D
