About the Game

Pool Panic is the world’s least realistic pool simulator. Play as a mischievous, and dare we say, oblivious cue ball in a giant game of pool that sprawls across a colorful cartoon overworld with more than 100 levels.

Explore jungles, deserts, carnivals, cities and more while knocking around a peculiar cast of billiard balls, most of which won’t appreciate being pocketed.

Note: Pool Panic plays best with a controller

Every level of Pool Panic has an 8-ball, but he won't be standing around waiting to be potted. While you seek him out, you'll be occupied by plenty of strange activities involving balls:

  • Ride a Ferris Wheel! Knock off other balls for your own gain!

  • Explore caves where even the bats are balls!

  • Play nine holes of mini-golf with a pool cue!

  • Flee the zombie horde! But careful, they're contagious!

  • Go skiing and mountain climbing! With balls!

  • Hunt boy scouts in the woods! Steal their hats! Wait...

  • Explore a colorful overworld with more than 100 levels. Shoot pool in deserts, gardens, cities, the carnival, the woods, and more

  • Get mad at balls that dash away from you, think strategically about when to hit toothy balls that can unleash stomp attacks, and line up the perfect shot.

  • Take down bosses and join a motorcycle gang chase.

  • Unlock higher levels of the central tower as you travel the world. What awaits you at the top?

  • Challenge up to four of your friends in local multiplayer.

  • Hats. This game has hats.
