If you strike too hard the balls will always fly out. Really good life lesson in there somewhere.

Great concept! The striking mechanic was very janky. Also there was no friction so the balls would just roll endlessly. Overall pretty fun!

Really cool concept! The idea of combining those two is great and I see a lot of potential here. I felt the physics could've been a bit snappier, and the shot mechanic didn't feel really satisfying to me. Maybe look at other pool games? A projected trajectory of the red balls would also be really helpful. Had to stop playing after hole 2 because the camera made me feel a bit wobbly in the head. I hope this doesn't sound too negative, because I really think you have a great idea and with a little bit of polish this could be great! Congrats! :)

Developer

It doesn't sound negative at all and it is a good point. I spent so much time to adject other things and have not much time on that. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

Really creative way to make "Golf" fit the theme! It's 1:00am and I played every level instead of going to bed... I think that counts as 5 stars for enjoyment. The physics were a little crazy, but I relied on the jumping and infinite rolling after a while, so must be a feature rather than a bug. Keep up the good work!

Pretty fun, but pull back system was rather frustrating with its inconsistency and I didnt like how the stage seems to rock and make things random. I do like the gameplay combining golf/pool with a puzzle.

Developer

Thank you so much! It is a bad decision for me to design how to detect the pull back range.  Thank you for the feedback!

I love that you mixed pool and mini-golf. I think red balls need more friction, because those kept rolling and rolling away living their own lives. 

But anyway, the gme is pretty good, liked it !

Developer

Thank you! I tested many ways to make it more satisfy but couldn't make it at the end. thank you for the suggestion!

Overall, it's a solid game, the idea is good, but I can't figure out how to get the black ball in the hole in level 3

Developer

Thank you! At first, I design it to make players hit it to bounce up the black ball inside the rack but i couldn't figure out how to represent that. Thank you for the feedback!
