I spent way longer than I expected playing this game, got to 13 balls. Very very fun and genius game idea
i like how the game puts you in some interesting situations which you dont know how to solve at first and you get really satisfied when you do. also i like balls :)
this game is pure, concentrated, relaxation. its bloody lovely and played it for about 12 minutes without realising the time has passed XD
I don't like how the game is non-deterministic. I pressed restart to try the puzzle again and discovered that the yellow and blue balls weren't in the same starting place as last time. It would be more fun to have a second chance at solving the same puzzle again
Played this again and just... wow. Genius concept. Easy to learn and hard to master. Was thinking at first that the sound might be its only downside but after listening to that music loop for so long I feel like that is the only sound that could fit a game like this without being either annoying after a while or disruptive.
Amazing all around, truly.
WOW, the game is soo fun, very creative game, the simplicity of the concept (even though it gets hard very quickly lol) mixed with the sfx and the art work is charming. I could see myself playing this game daily to try and get a higher score, for now all i could get is 15 though I'm definitely going to keep playing and beat my record ;) the sounds are so ASMR coded haha. the page art is cool, and the game name is very clever. Seriously, one of my fav games this jam.
Great job!
Theme nailed—200%
Sure, the bullet-stacking will be a common mechanic this jam —there are probably hundreds of entries using it to punish the player...
But this one? It’s a masterclass in execution. Makes sense from every perspective you look at it (even in reverse 😉 )
The gameplay loop is elegantly simple, the visuals are crisp, the sound design is pure satisfaction—and the theme? Absolutely crushed.
A phenomenal entry!
i love this!
pool loop was right in front of us all along! haha, great that you thought of that
and how it turns pool into a puzzle game is brilliant.
will defnetly keep watching for more of your games.
how did you do the rolling animations? is it a 3d ball?
yep! The balls are 3D and the rest of the game 2D. We just had to get the Rolling effect for a Pool game.
Thank you for trying out the game!
The game is super fun, i played it on my phone and its even MORE addicting there. I loovvee the feeling I see all the balls go into the holes when i succeed, and even though it gets really hard, theres usually a clever way of beating it.

I got to 15 balls, and i will definitely will be playing again, Keep up the good work.
Love the take on the timeloop approach. Seems kind of arbitrary at first but gets progressively more fun as you get the hang of rebounding and soft-touching balls. Great game!
Relaxing up to 8 ball XD
The art is super clean and the music is really soothing, making for a chill atmosphere. The SFX work well too, adding to the overall vibe.
I love the idea behind the game. It’s both creative and fun. The pool mechanics are solid and feel really intuitive. The gameplay was really smooth.
The dots on the edges of the table are a great touch, helping me line up my shots.
The reset process took a little longer at times, maybe because the balls hadn’t fully slowed down yet. And honestly, 8 balls is my max before things get too complicated 😅
i got 9 balls in. Very fun game!
Very satisfying gameplay and sound effects! I suck at playing pool irl and it doesnt seem to be any different online.. but this was enjoyable( ˙꒳˙ )
really good sound effects
it’s amazing how fast it becomes hard to manage. my high score is 10 :(
Really cool and unique game. It seems very polished, and I love the art. Well done!
fun concept, never got to see the 8 ball though
ADDICTING. I am adding this to my list of games to play at the back of my social studies class it is so simple yet so much fun (and I love pool so extra bonus on that)
The SFX in this are amazing!! I made it unwinnable pretty early on but this is a really polished game. Great work yall!
Couldn't get further, then 16 but really enjoyed trying.
