Ultrapool

Great game mixing pool with balatro. Obviously done by competent people and is fun to play.

Playtime: 11h on mobile This is absolutely my kind of roguelike – it's addictive af –, but the difficulty spike for the final table level is proving simply too much. I had little trouble with all other levels, and I even managed a spiralling build once or twice, but one unlucky shot and your linchpin ball is gone. In addition, physics can be haphazard. Balls fall into pockets when ones that were closer didn't; buffs sometimes don't register; ball abilities don't work in the shop ... It's nothing major, but of course it takes away a bit of the fun. Might change this review in the future, but rn it's a no for me.

I like the core gameplay loop and the art a lot. Music needs some variety, a jukebox would be a very cool addition. I recommend not trying to finish any all-nighters until you make it through a few of the other sets. The fun sets come much later, and if you're a completionist I can see you easily getting bored of the earlier available sets.

Loads of balls with loads of effects, interactions, synergies, etc. Has a good "just one more run" feeling to it.

I love a good arcade pool game and I love a fun roguelite. This is a great combo of the two. Plays great on the Steam Deck, too (once I turned off tapping the touchpad counts as a click!).

Buen juego, divertido, mezcla de balatro y pool bien ejecutada

Ultracool! Very fun and cosy game :)
