Pool Puzzle (very early) beta

Hi all,

I’m pleased to introduce my first attempt into the casual games : Pool Puzzle (name to be changed soon).

It’s still in the early stages, yet playable. I haven’t much worked on the art/animation/shaders side but will do it soon.

Tell me what you think of it, and I’ll listen carefully…

Here’s the JWS link : http://www.vlsolutions.com/free/poolpuzzle/index.php

I hope some of you will like it ! :slight_smile:

Quite enjoyable game, until this happened after a series of levels.

Maybe there are only 14 levels, and it tried to load the 15th?

Yes i’m aware of this.

there are only 14 levels (5 tutorial and 9 easy levels) and the game doesn’t like level 15…

More levels to come soon.

great game! I wonder, am I supposed to be able to win only getting 3 balls out of a group of 4? I would think that’s a loss, but it’s giving it to me! :slight_smile:

Great job, keep up the good work. This is a lot of fun!

One suggestion, though. I’d like my first click (to start the level) to not move the ball. I click to make the game start and sometimes the ball flies into other ones and messes up the field.

Thanks !

Yes, a level is finished when there are no more triplets. but you will have a special bonus (“perfect skills”) if there are no more balls on screen, which is harder.

about the mouse click : There is improvement in this area, but for now, you can start a level by pressing SPACE, which doesn’t move the ball… I have also noticed a problem with mouse drag and the awt robot.

Updated with less bugs… should be my last update for this week, until sound fx and music integrated.
