Game Graphics ControlsReally liking the clean aesthetic of the game, plus the music fits too. The controls are slightly wonky though. I didn't understand the raise/lower cue part, and I didn't realise you had to drag back THEN forward to shoot. I thought you just held it down and something indicating power would appear. I really like the way it's done here, but I just think you need to tighten up the controls a bit and make that mechanic a little more obvious. Nice game, good work! :)

Thank-you for your kind words and great feedback. We'll have a think about a way to indicate the strength of your shot on-screen.

Mechanics Tutorial/Learning CurveNice game. I really like the controls. Being able to pull back and then push forward makes it feel more like real pool than some others. All the various gameplay and camera options are great as well, and the simplistic look is really nice. The UI for the menus is pretty cool too! Great AI and the camera work was always pretty good as well. I liked the crazy mode, and being able to edit the ball layout.
I did think that it was a bit too easy to launch the cue ball and other balls off the table though, and if you launch the cue ball off the table pretty hard it just kinda disappears, and it takes quite a while before the next shot can be played.
Took me a while to realise you could adjust spin by clicking on the cue ball, and that you could skip the between-successful-shot transition with right-click, and that you could look around after you had played your shot. I did find all those things out, but a tutorial level/more detailed instructions might have helped.
Excellent game and I love the look of your upcoming features list - lots of interesting ideas and development there so I will be keeping an eye on this one!

Thank-you for your kind words and great feedback! The next shot can only be played once the balls have stopped moving which can take a while. We're considering options to speed this up. The skip feature is activated by any click. Some kind of helper informing people how to play the game is top of our list!

Animation Level DesignLooks very cool with slick animation. I'm sure it'll look great after some polish.

Game Graphics ControlsNice game!
I love the graphics, minimal yet effective. Love the physics too, seems pretty accurate. The AI guy is really hard to play with, thats another fun part.
The controls part was hard, but you already know this by now :)
I would have liked more options in the game, like:
- Different difficulty levels where the AI gets progessively harder, and an ace levels where the ball direction hints are not shown
- Different types of pool games
PS: I think the fact that balls can fly out of the table is really cool, would make for some good laughter and conversation while playing the game :)

Thank-you for the great feedback! Indeed we do, and are looking into implementing a simple tutorial to help play the game. We're working on AI difficulty, but having that increase (or even decrease) over time is an interesting idea! We'll be including options to add / remove aim helpers.We'll be having all kinds of different rules types and tables, don't worry! The balls flying off the table can be funny, though it does get a bit much in crazy mode!

Game Graphics ControlsThe game looks nice but the controls are laggy and a bit counter-intuitive.

Game Graphics Tutorial/Learning CurveThis game is really good its hard to think of negatives. On my first game though I only took two shots before the AI won because it was too good. However on my next game I found it too easy to beat the AI.
