The controls are quite difficult but i really like the background music and the concept.

Quite nice game. I think is quite difficult to get used to the controls :) I also made a game based on pool and I though your idea was nice.

Submitted

Good concept, swaping between the pockets is very fun! Satsfying to get it without bouncing. Could use a little more depth, but nice work!

Submitted

Fun!

Submitted

Great game! Keep it up!

It's a really fun game! Tests your hand eye coordination with moving the right pockets which I kind of struggled with in the beginning haha

Good concept. A bit easy and linear, and you can move a pocket out of screen forever if you want to :D

Submitted

It's a really neat concept, although my hand-eye coordination needed work to keep up with switching and controlling the pockets, I didn't make it after clearing the red balls, but it was a cool take on the idea of controlling the hole!

Submitted

Cool concept!

Thanks! :)

There was a bit of a difficulty jump when going from red balls to balls that can't touch any wall, it was kind of quick for me. But overall very relaxing and enjoyable. Feel free to check out our game too :)

It does get a bit savage at the end I agree, figured I needed some kind of 'end game', but the leap in difficulty is probably too much. Thanks for playing!

Creative, but a bit easy. You don't actually need to worry about the different holes, you can just control the bottom one and ignore that part of the game.

Developer

True, but you won't get a very high score or break. In order to get a maximum score you need to let no balls hit the cushions before you catch them, that's kind of the point of the game (snooker), sorry if that wasn't clear. Thanks for playing!: )
