I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.

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.
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.
Probably one of the worst pool games ever created.
Not Recommended.
another big bleah!
its good for me not bad :)
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.
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
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.)
