About POOOOL
POOOOL is a physics‑based puzzler where you launch pool balls with the mouse, aiming to merge matching colors and sizes into larger balls. Each successful merge raises your score, while a filling meter tracks how much of the table is occupied; reaching 75% ends the game. The game offers endless rounds, customizable backgrounds and ball faces, and lets you share high‑score postcards. It runs on Windows and supports Steam achievements and Family Sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Mechanics
Players click and hold anywhere on the screen, then drag to set the angle and power of a ball fling. Releasing the mouse launches the ball, and physics determine its trajectory and collisions.
When two balls of the same color and size collide, they combine into a larger ball, adding to the score. The play area fills over time, and if it reaches three‑quarters capacity, the round ends.
- Experiment with different drag lengths to gauge power before committing to a shot.
- Observe how balls bounce off walls to plan bank shots that may create merges.

Scoring System
Each successful merge of two same‑color, same‑size balls adds points, with larger balls yielding higher scores. The cumulative total appears as your round score.
The game tracks a personal high‑score, encouraging players to beat their own records across endless rounds.
- Prioritize merging smaller balls first to create larger ones that score more.
- Watch the meter; keeping the table less full gives more time for high‑value merges.

Visual Customization
Players can choose from a variety of background images and ball faces, allowing a personalized look for each round.
These visual options add aesthetic variety to each round.
- Select contrasting colors for balls and backgrounds to improve visibility of merges.
- Try different face sets to keep the visual experience fresh during long sessions.

Replayability
Every round generates a new arrangement of balls, making each playthrough distinct and endlessly replayable.
The simple mouse‑only control scheme encourages quick, repeated attempts to improve scores.
- Set personal challenges, such as reaching a target score before the meter fills.
- Use the postcard snapshot feature to record and compare high‑score moments.
