New spin on FPS (First person snooker) right here. Interesting game! Obviously, a bit rough but its a game jam game, so no surprise there. I could see the idea being polished up into something really fun, though! Nice job!

Funny POV on pool game, but balls on field are too heavy ana hard them push to holes(

Great concept, with a bit more polish can see this being a really fun game, impressive progress given the time constraint - nice work

I found one bug here when you pick up the ball, then drop it, the ball just falls under the ground and you can't continue the game. The game looks pretty simple, but it's fine for the game jam. But overall the game is fun and the idea is interesting.

Just like pool irl, I suck at this. Still had a relatively fun time clearing the board. I do agree that the balls can be hard to move, I found exspecially so when in large groupings. Still, very functional and impressive given the time constraint. Good work!

Gotta thank you for this one. Snooker is just one of those games that I've known about forever, but never actually learned the rules, and was too embarrassed to ask. But not anymore! My buddies are gonna be in for a world of surprise when I CRUSH them the next time an opportunity to play arises.

@atlasflame just make sure you don't actually throw the cueball at them :laughing:

Fun little challange game! I got a whopping score of 3! Wasn't sure what I expected when I started the game, but it was an interesting (skill-) surprise :D I am too much of a noob for this, but looks good!

Fun, like it, good job

I liked the idea, and it's pretty cute... but I couldn't really control it. I couldn't 'kick' the ball at all, clicking or holding the mouse didn't do anything for me, so I just had to walk the ball to where I wanted it to go.

I really liked the idea of this game, but with my mouse settings, I could barely control it - Moving my mouse a few millimeters on my mousepad was enough to do a complete 180, which made the whole experience very disorienting/uncomfortable to play :(

A mouse sensitivity slider is really important in FPS (first person snooker) games, because everyone's hardware setup is different, and if someone is using a much higher or lower DPI mouse than you tested with, they might be unable to play.

I just wanted to pass along that feedback - I couldn't play for long enough to get a good sense of anything else, so I can't really give any other feedback or even leave a rating 😅

The movement felt really good, running and jumping across the playfield. I wish the ball/creatures reacted more when hit, like they flew farther when hit, but it still works well as-is.

This game has potential do be very fun, if only balls were little lighter so they roll in the holes easier : ( Would be also nice to have button to teleport ball back to you as I was fooling around a bit too much :D

Got 31 score. Little static but throwing the ball and trying to aim was kinda fun with the extra challege of off-axis position of the ball. Your ingame "tutorial/guidance" was nice since it was pretty fast to get what i should be doing.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! i'm not going to have time to develop this further, cos full time job :(. But this will be my first game to actually get all the 20 ratings required. i'm very curious about how i've done!
