Evaluation

Ultrapool launched on August 24, 2026 as a roguelike pool game featuring 150+ unlockable balls, multiple difficulty modes, daily challenges, and cosmetics. The developer, Icedrop Games, has been very active in the days since launch, posting multiple bug fix patches to address stability issues like save loss bugs and a critical rollback after a faulty patch locked players out of their runs. Most significantly, in a post on August 31, 2026 (the same day as this assessment), the developer explicitly stated their near-term plan: focus on bugs, quality-of-life improvements, and minor balance for a bit until the game feels stable — and then pursue "more content updates." This is a direct developer statement that additional content is planned beyond the current launch build, even if the specifics haven't been announced yet. The post also introduced an open beta branch on Steam for players who want to test new features early, signaling ongoing active development work.

Evidence

Developer announces beta branch and explicitly states they are 'planning more content updates' after a stabilization period focused on bugs and QoL.

About this game

The pool bar is always open! Ultrapool is a colorful roguelike about playing pool with a bunch of wacky balls with crazy effects. Carefully craft a perfect build and get the craziest trickshots!

Get comfy, choose a cocktail, and get ready for a very special game of pool. Assemble a triangle of balls with strange effects and get the sickest trickshots. The bartenders won't be easy to impress!

Ultrapool is an arcade-y colorful roguelike that plays like a pool version of Balatro and Super Auto Pets. Pocketing balls gives you score, and extra score gives you money you can spend at the bar to buy and improve your set of balls. Try to survive 10 rounds!

We got both! Easy to pick up pool mechanics: just get the balls in the holes! But as you discover the wacky abilities the balls have, you'll get new ideas of how to get your score ever higher.

A ghost ball that reappears on the table? A chicken ball that lays spherical eggs? A bomb that explodes if you bump it too much? The Earth? Anything is possible (as long as it's round and it rolls nicely, no cubes allowed!)

Once you think you know the game, the cocktail bar opens. Ask the bartender to mix any two balls and he will serve you something special! Some of these will feel like they should break the game wide open, but you'll need every edge you can get if you want to pull off an all nighter.
