Honestly, fine for a game. Not something that I found myself returning to and just ended up letting the game drift into obscurity.

Pleasant for a few hours, when the challenges aren't asking something absurd of you. If you enjoy this, check out Holedown by the same creator!

Although this is a solidly decent way to spend some time, it feels like the more you push up against the sides of its design the more it ends up disappointing. The core is great: golf-pool is a very clever design, and the various ball and course variants are inventive and fun. But the challenges that drive the meta-progression and focus the actual play... they just aren't good! They veer wildly from the trivial to the extremely difficult, with the latter largely requiring a long run of pure luck to beat rather than any particular skill. And it's a shame, because the core gameplay just isn't quite enough to motivate the player to dive into it over and over on its own.

Enjoyed this and might still play a few rounds moving forward. But I'm a little sad with the amount of unlocks - I really thought I was going to keep getting more cards forever but they ran out pretty quickly. As is though, fun and easy pick-up-put-down phone distractor

Bom joguinho de sinuca com puzzle. Tem vários desafios e elementos interessantes de jogabilidade, tipo portais nas fases pra que você use estratégias diferentes pra encaçapar as bolinhas.

Bastante divertido e um ótimo jogo mobile pra partidas rápidas e sem compromisso.

Very fun, wish there was a way to keep score, or have more challenges. After finishing the challenges I'm just left wanting more. Will still continue to play this during my commutes.
