Pretty cool! Only thing that bothered me was waiting for all the balls to stop moving. The music made the game feel super scary haha

Cool stuff. I kinda wish the queue ball direction would show without having to hold left click

That was fun. The controls worked well for me and gave enough direction to give me a chance at making it in a pocket. Nice interpretation of the theme!

Played about a dozen or so games, this might be my favorite so far. The sound seems out of place, almost unnerving, but it's not too bad. Physics on the balls are really good. Sometimes it seems that they skip over the holes too easily but it's pretty rare.

A super cool concept! I found the shot control a little clunky and the randomness was sometimes frustrating since there is no coming back if you get screwed by pocket placement but overall a good creation.

Pretty sweet! I like how as you get more pockets, the game gets both easier (because it's easier to get a shot lined up for the ball you want to sink) but also harder (because you're more likely to accidentally sink the cue ball). I did feel like it could be a little awkward trying to control the power of the shot, but I got the hang of it eventually.

Interesting idea! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aEgrmplySyU

I love pool games ... it is nice to see people doing different things in this genre, it feels new and classic at the same time ... i had the impression that the balls where a bit too bouncy ... not sure if that is accurate or just my impression of it ... really enjoyed it and hope to see more new game ideas of classic pool games

Very Cool and creative interpretation of the Theme. Good Job. I did not like the rng when the corners where reshuffled every shot. I would have had a highscore of 3 but the last shot was impossible because the corner got removed. so I got a 4 instead... Better make them fixed once they appear.

Really cool twist on a classic game. Some kind of transition effect to draw my attention to a new pocket when it appears. My best score was no better than a traditional table, I'm pretty bad at pool lol. I think this could work really well on phones, I enjoyed playing on my touch screen laptop.

Very good physics. Cool concept! Good job!
