YoYo Haku Pool puts you in control of a yoyo on a multiplayer pool table!

\n

The goal is to keep the highest score as long as possible.

\n

Click or touch the table to pull your yoyo.

\n

Each ball has a value, and you should use yoyo maneuvers to bring them into the corner pockets.

\n

If you push another yoyo into a corner pocket, you get part of their score, implying that you also lose part of your score if you end up in a corner pocket.

\n

When the table is clean, balls are brought back to the table. Tip: Focus on pocketing the balls with high value first.

\n

There are several tables in the room, and you can communicate with players from other tables through the chat area.

\n

You can also run the following commands there:

\n

Command: /nick\nEffect: Changes your nickname.

\n

Command: /newtable\nEffect: Starts a new game on an empty table.

\n

Command: /jointable\nEffect: Joins the game from a specific table.

\n

Command: /soundon\nEffect: Enables sounds.

\n

Command: /soundoff\nEffect: Disables sounds.

I like the concept of the multi-player matches. The graphics and movement worked well. The sound effects sounded more space hall than pool hall. Was I meant to click the cue ball once or hold it down and drag it around. The latter felt like cheating.

Impressive to see multiplayer, I did see other players / player when in the game and chat when I first tried this.

\n

Sometimes the physics seem a litte wrong but over all a good entry in a difficult category.

Great detour from billiards! I unfortunately played alone, but I can see how much fun this game can be in multiplayer!

Played your game before the deadline and had a chance to play with others. It’s really challenging. The controls are not easy to master. The table also seems to have very little friction so balls roll around forever. I was stuck trying to put the last ball but it was going around like a fricking DVD logo.\nThe sounds are cute, if a little harsh. The graphics are pretty good and I like that there’s a chat function with a bunch of commands, so vintage. I just don’t understand the connection to the theme.

Aaaaaahhh! Using a yoyo is a very cool twist on pool!\nVery nice game, I had great fun.\nOnly… erm… the theme “death” is a bit missed? :-D

A nice alternative to the typical online pool game! The yoyo was fun to swing around. Would have been great if there were other players on when I was playing. I did find the physics a bit erratic & inconsistent, but overall this seems like a nice little game.

Sorry I give up.\nThe server synced physics is just too buggy and makes the game unplayable. I believe there must be a lot of effort on multiplayer part, but it doesn’t seem very well handled.\nThis makes me thinking though, if one day there is a game with very heavy server simulation and simple client, whether it will be considered as a good try for js13k.

Fun! Whipping the ball around like a yo yo is a good time. Nice aesthetics. I wish there were ball-on-ball collision sounds and that the death theme were integrated somehow. But overall very playable, nice work!
