Wukong's Pool

肉鸽+台球的模式很新颖，趣味性和挑战性都很强，喜欢2d桌球的话很值得一试

Pros * Looks and feels polished, a lot of love went into the design of this game. * Quick and easy to jump into, rogue-like elements are well thought out. * Great content for the price-point (I got it on sale). * Satisfying to master mechanics with interesting 'poker' objectives to force you to pull off crazy shots. Cons * The translation to English is slightly confusing at first, but the game is simple enough to mitigate this. * Rogue-like elements are quite limited, most runs feel very similar. * Bass line in the music seems much louder than the rest of the track (probably a personal peeve rather than a con). Gameplay (Standard mode) Each run starts with objectives on drawn cards at the bottom of the screen, fulfil the conditions of each card to complete 'pokers' which this game calls them. You are then rewarded with a choice of three perks, some passive and some active like ball friction/bounce or swap cue ball placement with another ball etc. The objectives on the cards become harder to fulfil, miss an objective and you lose hitpoints. Once you have completed all the objectives or run out of hit points, you are scored, and can gain a place on the leader board. Suggestions A replay and GIF saving feature of your cool shots would be an unnecessary but fun feature. English translation is a bit off and could be better, definitely not awful though. Overall This is a fun little romp that reminds me of mini-clip pool from the flash era. But now with more mechanics and replay-ability. An enjoyable time killer for a low price point. You can tell the developer has taken this project and shown it a lot of love. Would definitely recommend to rogue-like and pool/billiards players.
