Critic Reviews
Pool Panic Review
While nice to look at, Pool Panic would prefer you don't touch its elaborate set pieces. It has lots of potential but suffers from the shallow puzzles that make up its core gameplay.

Some games are just weird. That may be an inauspicious way to start talking about Adult Swim and Rekim’s puzzle-em-up-pool-title, but there’s a chance that after seeing it in action, you’d agree with me that Pool Panic is the new poster child that proves games are most definitely art, perhaps even surrealism or conceptual art.

Pool Panic is an unexpected take on the classic game of pool. Combining the weird and silliness of Adult Swim with a sports puzzler type game makes for fun and enjoyable gameplay. The art style and attention to detail work nicely, and adds an unexpected depth to this wacky game!
