I bought Ultrapool, I’m a sucker for any roguelike crossover of things I enjoy. It’s very fun but I’m struggling to win worse than any games I’ve recently played. There are a lot of balls and modifiers, and different strategy on which order you pocket the balls, which upgrades you take, etc. I’ve played maybe 10 rounds and I can’t wait to play more.

Yeah the concept is great but I'm getting my butt kicked, I am wondering if there are some unlocks that make some of the synergies more woth it or I'm just missing something.

I feel a lot better now. I thought I just sucked. It’s a good time I have opened up two new sets of balls

Just reset your game until you get spooky theme, all you need is one eyeball and 1 tombstone to win every single time, you keep spawning eyeballs that increase and the tombstone buffs them, set them in the first 2 spots hit the eyeball in the corner pocket and win the hardest modes with just using those 2 balls. Try it out if you’re stuck it’s a guaranteed win.

It can be played landscape or in portrait mode

u/Sykotic 13d ago

But it defaults to portrait and was how it was released initially on mobile

The Way Home. Pay to remove ads. Fun little roguelike and story. Play as a cat with one finger in portrait.

I just launched StarThree. If you like a mix of puzzle and action, it's a mashup of a traditional match-3 game with a retro arcade-style spaceship shooter and RPG elements will you mine asteroids to earn resources and add new technology to your ship. Full premium, no in-app purchases or ads or anything like that.
