Our take on Drop Pockets
Players may bounce off at the end of a round, when a Pool Shark changes the table through altered physics, obstacles, or a flood of additional balls.
What is Drop Pockets?
Drop Pockets combines billiards with roguelike progression and strategic combat.
Each run centers on pocketing balls while clearing opponents from the table. The game includes unusual objects, such as hockey pucks and Jupiter, whose properties can affect whether a run continues or ends. At the end of each round, Pool Sharks impose new conditions by changing physics, placing obstacles, or adding more balls to the table. Points can be used for items and upgrades, including Chalks, Racks, and Cues. These components can be combined into different builds, giving players multiple ways to configure a run. The structure moves between billiards challenges, round-ending opponents, and choices about items and upgrades.
