“I like pool, I like roguelites. I like this game :) Seriously, it's lots of fun. And if they keep adding content, I'll be happier!”

“Pretty good for what it is. There are some minor QOL things that could be done to improve the game and the UI, but the developer seems to have stopped reading the discussion boards and updating the game which is a shame. Definitely worth it at $10 or so.”

“I waited almost a year to get this. the price was right and i love pool and rogue likes etc., but this game is a buggy mess. For no reason the sounds starts to break up and the game grinds to a slow unusable mess. I have a decent PC so this makes no sense.”
