How does your game fit the theme?
You play as the pool table pocket instead of controlling the pool balls. You want to avoid the balls instead of sinking them!

Opened this game, thinking it would be something like golf kind of game, where you dodge golf balls in real time (Nothing wrong with that, really)... And I was wrong!
Instead, this is a fun puzzle-ish game, where you need to change your position every move, calculating exactly where the ball will NOT hit! Such a fun concept!
Good job at making this game, it was an enjoyable experience!
Thank you for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed the game & concept :)
I really loved the idea of this one, and it plays really great! I honestly cant believe that it had that much polish for a 48-hour jam. Amazing job, and check out my game if you have a chance :)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and appreciated the polish!
Simple and creative idea, had quite a bit of fun with it and got to round 15. I wonder if the ball directions are randomly generated or calculated to cover as much space as possible?
Thanks for playing! Each ball has slightly different properties, the 6, 8 and 2 balls all have their angle calculated randomly (but they fire at different speeds). The yellow 1 ball aims at the previous position your hole was in (to keep you on your toes)!
Round 12! I have to admit from the name and thumbnail I thought it was going to be another game about just moving the hole like reverse golf, but boy I was wrong! It quickly turned into quick thinking action of surveying the table to find a safe spot! Really really great, definitely top 20 for me
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Super addicting and such a simple concept. I thought I'd cracked it early on by just putting the hole as close as possible to a ball shooting the other way, but as soon as more balls started popping in I got 3 potted immediately and then spent far too long trying to beat my record. It's fun trying to avoid the balls while moving as well. Great job!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Very unique idea. Simple and well executed. It did get repetitive quite quickly but for 48 hours great work
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Well made and very unique. Good Job!
Thanks!
Pretty unique and simple, I like it!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Great arcade style game! Love how you can sink balls while you are moving, it adds more to the frantic gameplay. Clean artstyle, thought it was 2d till i saw the balls moving, very nice. Good job!
Glad you enjoyed the game! Actually, it is in 2D, I just use a shader to scroll the texture of the balls to give the effect that they're rolling!
Solid game, the concept is clear and I felt like I understood even the smaller details easily. We loved the sound design as well! Good game, good mechanical aspects, good fit for the theme!
Thanks for playing it on stream, I'm glad you enjoyed!
I got to round 14!
Great game! I love the idea! And the game is perfectly readable. Until there's too many balls of course.
It's really polished for a gamejam I think! Congrats!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant game! Starts out simple, then becomes exponentially more chaotic. I really hope you develop this further.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This game is really good with such a great concept. I love how you can still sink the balls in setup mode as it really adds to the pressure. If you continue to improve the game in the future you could maybe implement spin on some balls adding an extra layer of difficulty for the later stages. Overall great job!
Spin is a really interesting idea, originally I had planned a ball that would have a curved trajectory, but I ended up not adding it. So maybe post-jam I could play around with that kind of thing! Thanks for the suggestion, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Well made, super fun, and difficulty increases nicely!! I wonder if a version with an increasing amount of holes - up to 6, would be more chaotic and fun than just the amount of balls increasing? Good stuff!
Thanks! That multiple holes thing sounds like an interesting concept, you'd have to have more time to move each one but it is something that I could experiement with post-jam!
Extremely well made and fun! I loved how the difficulty ramped up so quickly as you get further on. And god the sound effects are incredibly satisfying.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, especially the sound effects!
Very nice idea and very good implementation. The only problem I noticed is that there is a moment where every position in the board will be touched by a ball, making the game unwinnable.
Very cool mechanics, well done!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully the game shouldn't get to that point as I assume it's probably a game over before then!
What a fun little puzzle game! I didn't get to the end (if there is one), but I really enjoyed what I did play. The balls moving have a really satisfying noise to them too.
Glad you enjoyed it! There's no end btw, it's just an arcade style endless mode.
loved this game!
Thanks!
This was a great game! The idea was very creative and was executed perfectly. I especially liked the sound effects of the ball collisions :) The only issue that I have with it is that if you move the hole under a ball while you're in the setup phase, you still lose a life (which makes sense, but it's a teensy bit annoying.) The graphics work very well with the subject matter, and the difficulty curve is well designed! Great job!
Thanks I'm glad you liked it! Perhaps I should have explicitly shown that dragging the hole under a ball during the setup phase still loses you a life, however it is definitely intentional because it makes the setup phase more interesting and not as easy as just dragging the hole to exactly where you want it to be.
This is great every way! Only problem The ball drag line is stretched an can look quite odd, but that's fine. The balls are great. The idea is great. The difficulty is *mmcha* perfect! The 3 lives works well with the bullet hell like fashion game. Overall: Top 100
Wow thanks for the glowing review! I agree the arrow texture looks a bit odd stretched, but I wanted it to be easy to see that the red ball would go faster without having to draw another texture (it was a bit last minute).
