Mikhail Madnani: "With its creativity in the pool ball variety and levels spread across a massive open-esque world, Pool Panic manages to be interesting all the way through. "
June 2019 Humble Monthly games are here and they include, among others, Black Ops 4, Pool Panic and Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered
Surprisingly, Pool Panic does have a substantial single-player campaign, despite being a party game. Just like the actual game, one controls the cue stick, with which they hit a ball of the same name. This is the closest thing to a protagonist, as you physically control the cue ball between levels and explore the world with it. While there isn't much of a narrative, there is certainly a lot of content to be found. There are over 100 levels, and amazingly, they all felt unique in some way. It's interesting to see how the passion the developers had allows them to manipulate pool in such a way that prevents it from growing stale.
Pool Panic is an absurd puzzle game that breathes new life into the game of pool despite some control issues.
