Ballardo: Roguelike Billiards

Might be the quickest refund in my life. Has this been AI generated by a bot who didnt even get trained on anything pool related?

I think it's a game that strategy genre lovers will enjoy. I was confused when I saw all the features in the tutorial, but as I played, it became more clear. As the league increases, the game becomes more difficult, and your strategy become more important. It would be nice to see more maps and more variety of gameplay added in the future.

The game, as it exists today, is barely playable. Between negative multipliers, massive power-up disbalance, upgrades which are outright harmful, stats whose function is unclear, and occasional crashes, it needs a LOT more work before it even approaches "good". I would absolutely remove all base negative effects (negative hole and 8-ball), make the power-up that sucks balls into the hole after one gets in automatic (Black Hole Core; have powerups that improve the effect), make balls easier to get into holes, add some sort of combo effect to be able to get more shots, give better upgrades (+0.3 mult is amazing. +4 ball power is, uh, much less so), and add more variety to powerups. The scoring system is also... not great. You score points for collisions, which incentivizes smacking the ball as hard as you can... but you score mult for precision hits into the 2x hole, which requires an entirely different set of hits. Maybe accumulating points and mult over the course of the round would be a better idea, so you can focus on both?

Have you ever played a game and wondered if the developers actually played the game they released to see if it was fun? Well look no further. The board is too big for the amount of bounciness on the balls (so there's rarely any chaos, even with bounciness stickers). The -1x multiplier holes are absolutely brutal. 1920x1080 is the max resolution, which is headache inducing. The ball guide is horribly inaccurate. etc. This is early access, so these things could definitely improve over time. As the game stands though, not worth it.

They might need to add or adjust some difficulty. I'm pretty dumb and I beat the first eight "leagues" very quickly. I do enjoy the game though I thought it was quite satisfying to make those balls crack around.

Uma merda, fica Crasharndo o tempo td

If you liked Balatro and are interested in billiards, definitely give it a try. +Solid and challenging mechanics. +Nice ball physics. +Fun gameplay. -Perhaps a few more visual improvements could be made.
