I love this idea. But I feel that the pace of the game is a bit slow.

Thanks! And yes I agree, I think I could have sped things up. Thanks for playing!

Nice game I enjoyed playing it :) Near the end I thought I was going to lose to the bot but then it scored for me haha.

Developer

Haha thanks and  thanks for playing :D

Excellent Music and solid polish. As others have mentioned the AI and dice roll take too long. 

Small bug: when both player and bot only need to pocket one more ball,  the red and green texts indicating that, are overlapping.

Developer

Hey thanks! Huh, I hadn't noticed that bug - thanks for pointing it out. I'll fix it as soon as I can. Thanks for playing :D

This is fun, the simple graphics and charming music really bring it up a notch and the Idea for the theme is a nice unique refreshing twist on pool. Good work!

Developer

Thanks so much!

Nice idea! Loved it, just need to speed up the AI/Dice roll 😅.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, that's definitely one of the things that needed to be improved. Thanks for playing! :D

A really nice pool game. I loved the art and music! The controls at the bottom of the screen were also super polished. It was a great way of communicating how to play to the player.

The only thing that bothered me was that the physics was sometimes a little off. For example, most of the time a full power shot would just go through the ball without hitting it.

The rolling of the dice and the bot turn felt a little but slow, but honestly it's not too bad and it'd be a minor thing to tweak anyway.

Overall this is a really great game and easily my favourite pool game so far!

Developer

Thanks glad you liked it! Yes I had noticed that occasionally, unsure what was causing it and didn't have time to fix unfortunately. Yeah I agree with the bot being slow. I think that could have been improved. Thanks so much for playing and rating! :D

I think it is caused by the speed being to high. As the ball moves, it is essentially moved in increments - the faster it is the bigger each step is. So if the speed is too high, the cue ball steps past the other ball between frames. To fix it, you'd have to make sure the speed isn't crazy high.

That'd be my guess for why it does that anyway.

I really like the art used, its an interesting spin on pool! i agree with the below, bot took forever to take his turn. but other then that, good work.

Developer

Thanks! I agree too. Thanks for playing :)

Developer(+1)
