Rekim and Adult Swim Games are bringing the zany Pool Panic to Switch later this year.
Set across more than 100 levels, Pool Panic is a giant game of pool. The cartoon-like locations are packed with rounded enemies and holes to sink them in, and it all looks rather excellent. Up to four players can get involved thanks to the game's local multiplayer mode.
Here's some PR:
Pool Panic frees billiards from the table and unleashes it into a world where everything from jungles and deserts to cities and swamps is a living pool game! You already know that sinking eight balls is the ultimate goal, but can you succeed while contending with monster balls chasing you, or ballerina balls leaping away from your well-aimed shots?
Take on the role of the mischievous, and dare we say, oblivious cue ball in Pool Panic's unique world comprised of 100+ levels while enjoying the single-player campaign, or invite your friends to join you for a multiplayer panic.
Features:
+ Single player campaign includes a large world with over 100 levels that span music festivals, mines, diners, the wild west, caverns, farms, and more!
+ Local multiplayer for up to four players. Multiple control modes supported, including two players on a single Switch, using a single Joy-Con per player.
+ Endless mode pits your pool skills against the clock, but don't forget that all the other balls are just as animated and alive as you, so different balls react differently to hits!
+ Discover the unique characteristics of dozens of different balls and the strategies required to pot them, even as they us their unique skills to try and thwart your efforts.
+ Fight a swamp monster, light up a derelict lighthouse, battle a biker gang, puke on a pirate ship, flee zombieballs after raising the dead, foil a bank heist, even joust! Seriously, you can ride a horse ball and joust.
+ Express yourself! White cue balls such as yourself can use a little pizzazz, so enjoy trying on the 80+ different hats you're able to steal from other balls in the game.
This looks great if you ask us - but what do you think?

One of the coolest games of the presentation, in my opinion. This one, The Messenger, and West of Loathing definitely have my money.
Seems like this could be a fun game.
This looks ace
Excited about this one.
Looks utterly bonkers but in a 'might just work way'. Will look out for how it reviews come release.
Adult Swim already has a Switch gem with Battle Chef so I have high hopes for this one.
Battle Chef Brigade is easily in my top five eShop games so far on the Switch. If this one is anywhere near as good, sign me up.
Look at that! An actual original idea with no twin stick rogue like elements
This one looks awesome
looks like a decent time sink
It's not the Lunar Pool sequel that I've been dreaming of for years, but it's close enough for me. Looks really fun.
@KIRO And it’s not 8 or 16 bit!!! Who knew you could make a game with modern graphics!
The short trailer for this has me very excited. It looks absolutely bizarre!
Can't be worse than those three bad ones that dropped in the same week a little while back. I could go for a different take on pool.
This feels like Angry Birds but done in a Pool format. The fact that it's a Switch exclusive will ensured that it's fully optimised and made good use of the hardware. I think this will be a successful title.
Pool PANIC!!
Could we finally have a decent pool game on Switch?
