The gameplay experience here is impressive to me for a jam game with a short time limit. This feels like something I'd see in an app store with weeks of dev behind it. That impression is helped by the little things, like how the music and sfx echo about while making your move. I can't see any flaws here, except that whoever set the Par score for 3-stars on these levels is way too good at pool.

super cool, highly polished game. i really enjoyed it. personally i didn't need the swallow animation every time, possible only the first time i hit a new type. awesome submission!

Submitted

the animations were smooth, and polished

i also enjoyed how newer mechanics were slowly introduced

That asteroid has absolute goblin energy! Honestly, everything can be improved with silly facial expressions. I love the direction you went with this. Fun take on the theme -- nice job!

Submitted

Stellar visuals and general shader work. The faces are super cute and the gameplay felt challenging but never unfair or undeliberate.

Submitted

Love the juice and sound!!! great entry!

Submitted

This game is awesome! Very cute graphics and presentation

This has some serious polish to it, well done!

Also love the little D: face they do when they go in the hole.

Fantastic game! I love the moment on the start menu where it looks 2d but then it moves and you realise it's 3D.

One comment: The giant black void looks more like the bit you need to bump things into than the black holes do.

One Technical comment: Really wish you could drag off the screen (Some configurations you can't get enough power to do much)

Loved the game! Great art style and well implemented mechanics. Also has good difficulty without feeling overbearing.

The planets are so expressive. Good job!

You guys made my favorite game from last year. This one is not nearly as creative, but it does have 11/10 animations.

Submitted

I loved the sound effects and the art style and animations of the cosmic pool balls going into the "pockets". Very clever.

Hi! I played your game!

I was kind of tired while playing, so I didn't do too good.

Anyway, I like the gameplay! It was a fun game, and I liked the expressions of the other planets! They were funny. :)

I didn't notice any glitches.

Good job on this! :) Thanks for making it!

I like the addition of obstacles and the changing hole placement in this billiards game! The art and style is magnificent--the sound and look blend together really well to create a game that feels pretty satisfying :D

Submitted

Well polished and executed. The presentation is fantastic and the art style is really charming.

Really fun zen game. The shader work is amazing, the 3d dark matter (?) and the black holes are done very well. The animation of dudes falling into black holes never got old for me :) For gameplay, it kinda is just pool. But I enjoyed it, and played it all the way.

Great work team, you all build something fun, but clear and cute. The sound design is fantastic, and the controls are crisp. I feel happy and sad everytime a planet is sucked away
