It can be frustrating, admittedly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Originally the idea was to have the holes branch to different specific colour-coded fields, each ball having a particular destination you need to get it to (and then it'd stay there); but I ran out of time before I could get around to doing all the interesting (ish) obstacles and stuff I was hoping to put in. So instead it just makes one new barely-different field each time you've potted all the balls and followed them across."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:47pm","epoch":1409089320,"text":"This is fun!

I had no idea what to do in this, possibly due to my lack of experience with pool in general. It wasn't just a &quot;little&quot; baffling, I had no idea what was going on ._. I think that if the controls had been a little bit more sensitive or I'd had a UI to fool with, more feedback, I might've had more fun. Really liked the zooming SFX on the 8-balls, that was actually pretty damn funny and almost made getting wrecked by them forgivable ;]\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Seems like a neat concept, though.
