I made an Android version, with special touch controls, on my Itch.io page
The touch control works very well with the gameplay. You can either directly touch the screen to throw a ball in that direction or use the scroll bar bellow the screen, so your finger doesnt hide the game.
What a Hacker ^^ you will see all my crappy code. I used the original PicoLove (https://github.com/picolove/picolove) but I tweaked it to add touch controls and extend the screen size beyond the classic Pico 8 square. I also cut the audio emulator (it was very slow) and replaced it with simple ogg. I plan to release a standalone windows version, but there is some tweaks to do. And then I can try a linux and a mac version (but I have no mac so ...)
You have no idea how much I love this game.
It's one of my favorite things to play when I need a break and that's probably a bad thing. "Just one more game!"
"JUST ONE MORE GAME!"
"JUST ONE oh it's 2am"
The gameplay, look, feel, sounds, all perfect.
Any chance high score saving could be added for each game mode?
I added mouse support to Combo Pool!
When I made it more than 7 years ago, Pico 8 didn't really have mouse support or at least it wasn't wildly known, but I always kept in my mind that Combo Pool would be great to play with the mouse, so I finally added it and you can play it now!
I also added an accessibility mode you can toggle that lets you show a number on each ball depending on it's color, so you can better identify them if needed
