SELECT: Ultrapool

The player base is largely in a Balatro-fueled hype cycle, calling this the 'pool roguelike' they never knew they needed, with many clocking in absurd hours on the demo and praising the satisfying ball physics and synergistic combos. However, a vocal minority is dropping negative reviews over the lack of controller support on PC, the inability to rotate the table for landscape play, a missing soundtrack, and a general feeling that it's a mobile port that doesn't justify its Steam price tag. The core divide: those who just want to 'hit ball and make satisfying sound' versus those demanding a more polished, PC-native experience.
