Trailer Impressions: Pool Panic – Aim & Shoot! Coming to Switch and PC on July 19, 2018

Pool Panic has to have one of the best trailers of 2018, as it instantly attracts me to the game with its colorful presentation and announcer. The game is essentially boiled down to “Aim & Shoot!” Sports games these days are bit stale, but games have been sprouting up lately that are fun custom takes on games we already know and like already. Pool Panic takes the game of pool and turns into a wacky world of enjoyment. Adult Swim Games is responsible for publishing this funny and clever game developed by Rekim, and this is just another fine example of why we shouldn’t ignore indie games.

Just watching this trailer you can see many of the fun environments that you shoot your pool cue in, whether it be in a house, outdoors, or under a giant spider. This trailer has an announcer that I hope is also in the game, as the commentary is pretty entertaining. Pool Panic may not have hype, was also omitted from Nintendo’s E3 showcase, but I feel like this will be a sleeper hit of 2018. I hope the trailer is accurate in my hype.
