Group 3:
The game looks nice. Why does the balls randomly change to really odd shapes? Like, why cubes? It is fun though
group 5:
lives up to it's name
broken in the most fun way
physics is all over the place but i would argue that that makes it fun
Group4:
Fun gameplay, powerups were very fun. We were able to get stuck in a pocket. Shooting could be difficult.
Andrew, Hunter, John G6: Looks very nice, really like the top-down camera after a move, and the shape-shift animation is cool.
Friction feels very high, it's hard to pocket the "balls" (in the loose sense -Andrew). The purpose of the power-ups isn't super clear.
Group 1:
Satisfying experience, controls for placing the were a bit difficult to use, but manageable
I can't imagine completing a game, since I found it hard to get enough force on the ball to get consistent pockets
Very fun concept, I don't normally like billiards but this it up with the greats like Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania (Remaster of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (Remaster of Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 with extra stages)) Billiards Mini-game B)
Group 7:
Good: The game looks amazing and the concept is great, given it was only two weeks of development it honestly runs great!
Criticism: I noticed a bug if you manage to shoot yourself off that it makes the other player shoot from off the board and we also managed to soft lock ourselves on the power up menu.
Prof: Top view makes it hard to realize when the pool ball goes up in the air. The sound effects really matched the game well.

When I tried running this game it froze my laptop entirely and I had to reboot it. Not sure why that happened. On the lab PC it works, but it seems like a lot of things are broken, hence the name. I'm not sure how much of the broken-ness is due to the export process, because I experienced something similar. I like the concept, though.
