This game is really fun and I see a lot of potential. What I noticed through my playthrough was that aiming and charging up feels kinda weird. Charging up was very slow and I didnt quite get how aiming works at first because you have to move your cursor aditionally to charging up.. This aside I love that the balls are planets, this fits the upgrades soo good and the sfx were satisfying. Kinda a bummer that there is no music but the game still has a great ambience. 

Very impressive job, congrats! :D

Thank you!! Yeah, I find the aiming feels a little bit awkward to me as well. I really wanted to add a line that shows the path the cue ball would take to help make aiming a bit better but sadly I didn't have enough time to figure out how to do it.
Thank you for your kind words :)

I fixed the windows build! I swapped out the web build for a .exe which should perform and look much better now

I really loved this game, the idea is really amazing. I think with a small change in the physics (found the drag was a little too high) and a little polish I would gladly buy a full version!

Omg thank you so much. This comment made my day.

Yes, totally agree on the physics! I already spent a ton of time tweaking it but had to move onto finishing the rest of the game before getting it how I like.

Also the games lighting is messed up and runs poorly on the web build, but for some reason my windows build breaks my scripts somehow. Hopefully I can fix and reupload as a .exe instead, I find the physics feels a bit better as an .exe as well.
