New Action Game: Historyk Pool

[Petru]

Hi everyone.
We have just finished the demo of our newest action game: Historyk Pool. It has 3D graphics as can be seen in the screenshot below and it's a combination of pool and football.
It can be played single or double player.
You can see more info, screenshots at:

You can download it from here:

Please have a look on it and tell us what you think and how it feels.
Thanks,
Petru.

Only could give it a short try at work.
One thing: Why do you use the cursor keys for control? Mouse control is obligatory for a game like this!
btw: Is this the first indie-game with cel shading?

Thanks for the feedback.
I wanted to add mouse input, but then the gameplay would not be so fun as with the mouse you can point exactly where to make a strike.
There is still an option to play with a gamepad/joystick.
Thanks,
Petru.

Hey, looks really good and it's an interesting idea, congratulations! I'll give it a try later at home.

- the game autofires when everything stops moving (after a shot)
- it also crashes on alt-tab for me

Anyway, the game was a lot of fun for me. I would have prefered mouse controls, though. And realtime instead of turn-based. Maybe even a 4-player multiplayer (two teams)? Ha!

Thanks for the feedback.
I have fixed the problem with the crash after Alt+Tab. Now it works.
About autofire: it is supposed to autofire - each player will fire automatical after a timeout - to add some rush and twist to the game. It is configurable from options menu to 3,5 or 7 secconds.
