I'm not better at space billards than at the classic one :XD:
Really enjoyed theses aspects from the game. Music, Aesthetics and the idea you went for. Personally I feel the controls are a bit hard to navigate, maybe have it so that the puck goes towards the mouse (?) :) really enjoyed
Very good! I liked the visual effects and background music. just leave the ball light and create the option to leave Congratulations!
Awesome Graphics , levels are addictive Amazing work
Damn Good Graphics dude
Great Work!! Really enjoyed the the Graphics and the Sound effects.
Fun game with great visual, I found it a bit hard to control at first, but making the ball go towards a mouse would make it too easy, so this way it at least provides a nice challenge! Good work!
Very Good Awesome Graphics
The graphics are really nice. I would prefer if the controls are more accurate. But that's a good game. Congratulations
@fax Thanks for your feedback.. We will work on making controls smooth
Really cool game. It took a while for the first board to change shape for me, but I liked the gameplay and the music a lot.
The graphics were really good. I have some comments. The controls were a bit difficult to use, because unlike pool games, there is no visual cue / hint to show where your "pool stick" so to speak is placed, and since I was playing with a touchpad instead of a real mouse it was a bit difficult to control. There was some resolution problem (I played with the embedded player on the website), and I couldn't see the text on the top of the screen (which you can see in the screenshots) showing how many seconds. I noticed that when I put balls into the holes, it took longer than 10 seconds for the board to switch - I'm not sure if this was intentional or not. Finally, there is no positive endgame (I think... unless I didn't reach it) and the only way I found to reach a "game over" screen includes the words "you failed" on it - no positive outcome, you can basically only play until you lose (like Tetris) - I would have preferred it if you could "win" the game. Overall, a very nice jam entry! Great work :)
I have to say that its a shame you didnt have some high res assets for the balls in the style of the rest of the game. Its really weird seeing these clunky blobs interact with the neon fused level/backgrounds. I also dont think that the pixel fonts suit the aesthetics of the rest of the game.
On the other points i mostly aggree with the already said: looks good but controls hard.
The different stages are varied and all look really cool (with the circle one being terribly hard). Would have wished for some more pressure by the 10 seconds rule - its not that hard to get in one ball per 10 seconds.
I just noticed that that all sounds rather negative but i hope it helps. Overall of course a really nice jam game!
Nice concept
A really innovative game idea. My most liked part of the game is the Carrom board shapeshifting and the choice of Background Music. A few issues faced by BG of the game are static. Some graphics should have been there for striker and pucks. Overall fun game to play with flashy graphics.
To be honest, I didn't so much appreciate the gameplay, but the design is really amazing
Interesting game! I think the graphics and music are nice and upbeat, but I think a lot more needs to be done for the gameplay to work. The physics seems a bit off, perhaps they are set to be too realistic, because it's quite boring to be hitting a puck that's stuck on a wall and it just doesn't bounce off the wall. Also I was quite confused why pucks kept reappearing after I already scored them in. I think this could go far if you improved further on the game design of the whole thing. Very cool entry, great job!
Admittedly spent more time playing than I expected so now I'm writing this before I go make dinner lol.
Really nice entry! I'm not sure how I feel about the level switching after flailing too long. On one hand - it does give me a change in scenery but on the other it makes me feel really crummy for the game to be like "You suck, let me just take this work your doing and throw it in the bin so you can try on another level idiot". Just feels a bit too punishing for inexperienced players and that may turn them away before they really get to do much.
The level with the goal in the center was where I almost quit (which I'm glad it does flip to a new one then). The pucks will eventually find their way to the wall and they are hard to knock off of into the center. Feels so counter to all table hockey/pool games. Maybe it could be improved with bumpers that knock the puck off the wall somewhat so you can get behind them better.
Really nice entry! Could see myself spending way too much time with this on mobile
Nice job! I love the visuals and music in this game! They really sell an awesome galactic atmosphere! It was a lot of fun too to send the puck flying all over and try to get the targets in the pockets. I didn't quite understand when a new area would change vs when new pucks would spawn when the timer gets to 0. I think I was on one level/configuration for a long time because I was able to just keep sinking them. But I had a lot of fun doing it, very responsive game. Great job!
very nice to see and to play this game. the music also sets the mood. some levels are really hard (the round one with vortex on the middle) but overall it's quite fun to play!
I will admit - I never even heard of carrom before now. So thank you for introducing me to something new :smile: The concept of the game is fun and the graphics are really cool. Music is fitting as well.
Aiming in the game didn't really feel smooth. It was often just jumping around, instead of continuing the circular movement (which I would expect it to do). Maybe it would be better with touch controls or with a controller?
The board doesn't really change every 10 seconds, as the description suggests - which confused me at the beginning. It seemed to me that it spawns new pucks and only changes after you fail for a time (?).
Nice job on the game. I especially enjoyed the visuals.
Very Nice game. A new version of Carrom, Amazing Graphics
Love the art!
