Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Ultrapool” demo version. The pool bar is always open! Ultrapool is a colorful roguelike about playing pool with a bunch of wacky balls with crazy effects. Carefully craft a perfect build and get the craziest trickshots!
Icedrop Games’ Ultrapool takes the satisfying physics of a real pool table and crashes it headfirst into the roguelike deckbuilding craze, creating what can only be described as Balatro meets Super Auto Pets on a billiards table – and somehow it all rolls together beautifully. Players assemble a triangle of wacky balls, each carrying absurd and game-bending effects – ghost balls that reappear after being pocketed, chicken balls that lay spherical eggs, bombs that detonate if bumped too hard, and yes, the entire planet Earth – then rack up score through trickshots across 10 increasingly demanding rounds while spending earnings at the pool bar to buy, upgrade, and even mix balls together into wild new combinations via the cocktail system. The genius is in how Ultrapool layers genuinely deep build-crafting strategy beneath physics-based arcade gameplay that anyone can pick up in seconds, making every run a fresh experiment in “what happens if I combine these two ridiculous things and send them careening into a corner pocket.” Wrapped in a vibrant comic-book art style and oozing personality from every corner of its colorful pool bar setting, this is the kind of indie that reminds you the most creative games in the roguelike space are the ones brave enough to start with a question nobody thought to ask.
