Ballardo: Roguelike Billiards

Thought this was just a chill little indie pool game. Next thing I know, I’m calculating angles like I’m doing rocket science, whispering to the 8-ball like it’s a sentient being. So it's billiards, but make it tactical despair with a sprinkle of RNG-based heartbreak. Every shot matters. Every ball is a decision. Every level is a new way to question your confidence. It’s Slay the Spire meets Geometry 101, and somehow it works ridiculously well. 10/10 – finally found a game where I can suffer emotionally and improve my real-life pool game. Thank you for this beautiful madness.

This game is a clever twist on the Ballatro-like genre. Depending on your set of relics, it can evolve into something closer to pocket billiards or carom billiards. What stood out to me most was how every decision has a clear, visible impact. It took me a while to read and understand what each sticker, costume or relic does, so I went into full trial&error mode, but I could still easily see how they affected the gameplay. In short, if you enjoyed Ballatro, you’ll probably enjoy this game too.

Gameplay is really enjoyable simple mechanics, but they work great. At first it feels easy, but as you go on, you realize strategy is a must. It gets more engaging the more you play. Would be awesome to see multiplayer or a leaderboard in the future. Already liking it a lot

Uma merda, fica Crasharndo o tempo td

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?

umut var ama çook geliştirilmesi lazım.
