"Glow Ball" - The billiard puzzle game Reviews

another big bleah!

Not Recommended.

its good for me not bad :)

Probably one of the worst pool games ever created.

Terrible. Feels like playing pool in a sand pit. Mechanics are awful. UI looks like a first year game design project. Unplayable.

I wanted SO badly to be able to spend time with "Glow Ball"; it's supposedly a puzzle game, which I love playing, and it's beautiful. But unless you are already really, really good at pool you may end up as dissapointed as I am. Yes, the game is fun and colorful, but it is VERY hard. It took all my skills (harhar!) to get past the second level with my near-zero pool experience. (Offline. I really did try. I hoped my enjoyment of math puzzles might be enough...foolishly, it seems.) In truth, even losing is fun. But since all it takes to lose all progress on a level is one poor shot, fun quickly gives way to frustration as you repeatedly go back to zero. This game would be SO much more fun (and more commercially successful, possibly) if there was an "easy" or"beginner" level where any shot could be undone (much like Radium does, where even failure requires instructions to proceed.) Any chance, DEVs? It would be SO MUCH more fun, not to mention accessible! A feature I really liked, that I'd like to see in every game, is the means to change the music at the press of a button. KUDOS!! (This makes what is already really nice music even better!) The fault is not that of the game or the DEVs (though they might have been more expressive about the degree of difficulty) and I won't give up for good. Therefore, I will recommend the game....IF you are a pool shark already. Who knows, perhaps I can cheat with YouTube, and get past level 3. Thank you. (DEVs - Please consider the "undo" feature for people who are more puzzle than pool.)

So many people are saying this game is crap. I tried it nonetheless and i have to say if you get past lvl 5 it has very interesting mechanics which afford a lot thinking and planning. Currently stuck on Stage 17. Does somebody know how many stages this game has? After all i had much fun and frustration with this game Overall 7/10

i cannot reccoment this game at its base price of 3.00. if it were under 1.00 then i'd say sure if you are interested in billiards type games.

Video review and walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/Up8Prnpd6l4 tl;dr version: Slow paced billiards/mini-golf styled puzzle game that never manages to become fun, has wonky physics, a bizarre control scheme and outright unfair level design. Even if you are the biggest billiards fan in the universe, it's unlikely you'll find enjoyment in this game. Do not purchase.

Well since there are a slew of red 'negative' reviews, why not add one more. OK it's a cheap game, I get that. But at least there should be some sense of direction, and maybe a tiny bit of fun. But alas, nope. Hit a ball. Thing resets. Hit a ball. Thing resets. Watching paint dry has more action i think.
