  • music

    The music in the game is generally described as calming and soothing, enhancing the relaxed atmosphere of the gameplay. While some players appreciate the quality of the soundtracks, particularly those by Kevin MacLeod, others feel that the music does not always fit the game's theme. A notable feature is the ability to skip tracks, which allows players to customize their listening experience.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “First of all, the music is very calming and soothing.”
    • “There's some calming music to go with the very slow and chilled gameplay, but overall the game feels slow and boring.”
    • “So when playing this game you are able to relax to the sound of calming music.”
    • “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.”

    The gameplay is centered around a puzzle format that utilizes pool table mechanics with unique tables and pockets, accompanied by calming music. However, many users find the pace to be excessively slow and frustrating, with issues such as poor hitboxes and the need to restart levels upon failure detracting from the experience. Despite these drawbacks, some players note that the game offers intriguing mechanics that require strategic thinking, particularly after the initial levels.

    • “A puzzle game where you use the mechanics of a pool table, but instead of a pool table, you have a series of balls and unusual 'tables' and pockets.”
    • “I tried it nonetheless and I have to say if you get past level 5, it has very interesting mechanics which afford a lot of thinking and planning.”
    • “The gameplay could have been interesting.”
    • “There's some calming music to go with the very slow and chilled gameplay, but overall the game feels slow and boring.”
    • “Just no... the game looks nice, but it's horrible; the gameplay is so slow, and if you fail, you need to restart the whole level. Hitboxes are poorly designed, and the programming is lacking.”
    • “Mechanics are awful.”

  • graphics

    The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as "ugly" and "cheap," particularly criticizing the menus and overall aesthetic quality. However, some players appreciate specific effects, like the glowing around the balls and holes, which they find visually appealing. Overall, the graphical presentation is seen as a significant drawback.

    • “The glowing effect around the balls and the holes is a really cool idea to have as it is aesthetically pleasing to look at.”
    • “I do not have any problem with games that do not have superb graphics, but Glow Ball's graphics are surprisingly unique in a way that makes me appreciate the creativity behind them.”
    • “The graphics are ugly, the menus are laughable in this day and age... the pool physics are broken. This game has zero redeeming qualities to it.”
    • “The graphics are cheap and the menu is horrific.”
    • “Minimal graphics.”

  • story

    The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, highlighting that perseverance in the face of adversity can lead to unexpected and rewarding outcomes.

    • “The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is largely characterized by puns, which some players view as lowbrow, yet there is a recognition that personal connection to humor can elevate its value. Additionally, the main screen's design is described as so poor that it unintentionally becomes amusing.

    • “A pun is the lowest form of humor, unless you thought of it yourself.”
    • “Especially the main screen looks atrocious and almost funny.”
