Great job with the visual effects!
Watching the numbers pop up was very satisfying especially when I got lots of hits on a Saturn. It would be cool if there was something to make me think more about where the planets/moons are going to bounce, like bonuses for potting specific pockets. I really enjoyed playing this, great job!
Neptune for the win!
Very cool idea! I was wondering on making some kind of billard remake game but this one is fantastic!
Simple gameloop, simple upgrades, fun game!
Nicely done!
Very fun to play. I loved the music, the sounds, the visual effects. Awesome.
Very addicting! While I didn't have much strategy after getting 2 Neptune planets and relied on whacking those two to score me all the points I needed, it was still a great time trying to see how many points I could get in a single turn! As the game got larger it was a bit more difficult distinguishing the moons from the stars in the background, but not enough to hinder my enjoyment while playing. Great job!
It's so fun to play, I could play it over and over again! I think the combination of Jupiter and Saturnus is very overpowered. As the level goes up, the moon seems less visible, and I tend to create chaos to win, rather than strategize. Handling the cue ball is also a bit clunky at times. But I really enjoyed playing it.
My god this was super addicting lmao It was also cool that you can sink the planets into the holes, naturally making it harder as you go. Great job!
Amazing! It would be cool if you lost points for sinking the que ball.
This seems like a really nice take on the game jam theme, and the execution is very well polished. I love how the board continues to scale and how there are certain combos that can be super effective like combining the venus, saturn, and jupiter balls to get lots of points. I can definitely see this being a fun multiplayer game if you guys chose to keep working on it after the jam!
Very satisfying visual style. Great job!
Its a cool concept and I really like the visuals, the glow looks nice and the planets are cool, I love the physics and chaos, it is very fun and unpredictable. Great job!
I made it to level 20! I loved how robust the game was to an ever increasing table size and loved seeing the pretty trails of a huge combo explode outwards.
The sleek art style and exponentially increasing score are just irresistible!
I was a little bothered by the fact that it became harder to see the small planet as the billiard table expanded.
Billiard with planets and balls with powers is such a cool concept; it's a great idea! I wish the moons have different color than the white ball
i quite really liked this game! it was interesting seeing how i could position the ball between neptune and saturn and other places to amass huge amts of points in a turn
Good game! Loved it! Played and rated!

There is only one copy of Jupiter; I assume that is limited for good reason. :)
You caught us! Balancing Jupiter and Saturn was harder than we anticipated. With more time, we would like to add even more power-ups beyond planets to really solidify the game.
I like the smoothness, but I quickly lost the plot on how to progress forward.
I enjoyed the game a lot, getting new planets and scoring crazy amounts of points, but for some reason in level 6 the cue ball did not respawn after the first turn. I hope this bug is easily fixable - I think the reason might be that the ball hit Uranus? Maybe Uranus sucked in the cue ball and it didn't register as the cue ball vanishing, but then it was inaccessible? That's just a theory though.
We appreciate you trying out the game and providing feedback!
We were able to determine the root cause of the cue ball getting stuck and made a note of it on the game description. If the cue ball travels for a long time and eventually sinks into a hole, it will not respawn.
Rogue-like billiard, that's one creative concept!
I liked the various upgrade as well as the global feels of the game, the hit sounds effect and the control worked really well!
I didn't understand how the power scaling of the cue work, it feels like it got stronger as the game progress, and that red planet didn't do much.
I had a lot a fun!
Super cool game! Great graphics, physics and sound. Great job team. Power-ups between levels is a brilliant idea.
