Generally, gameplay was nice. Maybe it’s just me but I think the balls move way too fast, I’d have loved them to move a bit slower so I can trace their paths with my eyes. I also couldn’t tell if you used a timer or a moves count criteria for the win condition. It would be nice to make that clear to the player so they can make better decisions.

Oh okay

Thank you for the feedback , I will take note of that and work on it.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play Snooker and this game gave me an idea of how it works. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit the game jam theme. Perhaps I missed something — please clarify. Thank you

As a note, it would be fun to incorporate elements of the game jam theme in the game. Maybe balls with special powers or each ball has a personality/skill. The ideas are endless. Please explore the idea more, I have a feeling this could be the beginning of a unique Snooker game.

Thank you for your submission.

Thank you too for your feedback, I will work more on it.

Kudos on the implementation, the gameplay was fun. For a quick fix, please have a look at achieving a uniform scale for the balls, the snooker stick layer around the board edges and the falling of the balls into a hole. Amazing work!

Developer

Thank you, I will also look into that.
