Pool, But Wrong
Read full descriptionHide full description
I made Pool, but Wrong to see how many bad ideas I could add to a perfectly normal game of pool. It's a small indie game with 100 levels, zero ads, and the whole game is completely free to play. It starts simply. Pull back. Take your shot. Sink the colored balls. Black goes last. Easy. Then every five levels, I change the rules. The holes move. The table tilts. The cue stick stops behaving like a cue stick. Gravity bends your shots. The table freezes over. Balls merge. Magnets appear. Balls get chained together. And eventually, yes, there is a sword. There are 100 little pool puzzles to make your way through, with a different twist every five levels. Learn the new rule. Get comfortable. Watch me change it again. FEATURES • 100 puzzle levels • A different mechanic every 5 levels • Crisp pixel-art visuals • Physics-based shots and strange interactions • Ice, gravity, moving holes, magnets and chains • Quick levels made for experimenting • One deeply questionable sword This is a small indie game I made for people who enjoy figuring things out, weird mechanics, pixel art and pool games that have gone slightly off the rails. If you're looking for a serious pool simulator, something has gone terribly wrong. Pool, but Wrong Pool was fine. I fixed it.

Every level hands you something you can't wait to take apart. Each Pop Jam puzzle is a 3D figure built entirely from colored balls: animals, snacks, objects, shapes of every kind. Tap a piece that's free to move and it bursts into exactly 27 balls that tumble down, roll along the conveyor, and hop into the boxes waiting up front. Nine balls fill a box, the box snaps shut and ships out, and the next one slides in. Every piece you clear is worth three full boxes. The catch? A box only takes its own color. Tap pieces in the wrong order and the belt crowds up with balls that have nowhere to go. That's a jam, and a jam ends your run. The smartest moves happen before you touch the screen: check which boxes are open, read the figure, and pick the piece the line is hungry for. Fresh pieces hide underneath the ones you clear, so every tap can change the whole picture. The deeper you go, the trickier it gets: bigger builds, more colors in play, sneakier layering, and those perfect moments when three boxes slam shut in a row. Along the way you'll find: • Figures with personality: animals, snacks, and seasonal surprises to take apart • Real physics on all 27 balls of every piece as they tumble, bounce, and roll • Crunchy, satisfying sound design that makes every packed box land just right • Bite-sized levels that fit a coffee break, with a difficulty curve that sneaks up on you • Helpful boosters for the moments the line gets crowded You'll understand it in one tap. Getting good at it is another story. Keep the line moving, and don't let it jam.
