About Pool Glow

Simple. Pure. Immersive.Pool Glow is an immersive psychological exploration experience that transports players into a bright yet subtly unreal poolcore world—where the water reflects a still, frozen glow, and echoes drift gently through the space. Clean, luminous pools and interconnected environments form a domain that feels both tranquil and quietly comforting.There is no combat and no defined objective—only exploration, perception, and the gradual emergence of spatial memory. Original music and ambient sound design enhance the sense of presence, drawing you deeper into the experience. If you have the patience, we invite you to follow your own pace, wander slowly through these spaces, and embrace the simplicity and calm they offer. If this atmosphere brings you even a moment of peace and clarity, then it has fulfilled its purpose.This game is inspired by poolcore artworks shared on Instagram and X, particularly the works of artists such as Jared Pike and P. Carredo.

So I started this game a few days ago and recommended it, then after completing it I decided I wanted to change my review to not recommended. This game is very broken. It is a very beautiful game, but I experienced a lot of bugs. Some stairs and platforms you can just walk through from the side, and at the end of the game there are escalators you can simply walk up and easily fall out of bounds. The worst thing that happened was that on the final elevator to get out of the final stage that's out so far, the game just broke and left me in the elevator. So I didn't get the achievement for completing the level because it just decided to not end the game. Not good stuff. The "restart level" button, while it works, leaves you incapable of moving or being able to press any buttons, so you have to alt+f4 to get out of the game. It's also very easy to just click out of the game because there's no mouse lock. The mouse sensitivity is also VERY low, and the slider to increase it just flat out doesn't work. In level 3, there's a curved hallway filled with water with donut innertubes and the head of a giant statue in the distance. There's a tiny staircase right before this room, and this lit…

I’m leaving a positive review because I want to show my support for the developer and make it clear that this is a very good direction for the “safe” poolcore genre. However, I also need to address a few issues that negatively affected my experience. There are many invisible walls throughout the game. This is understandable in areas where the player could accidentally fall out of bounds, but not when ordinary objects that should not block movement suddenly become barriers. In the second map, there is a circular staircase that cannot be climbed beyond a certain point. I wanted to use it to reach another section of the level, but an invisible barrier stopped me. The jump mechanic also feels a bit awkward. When jumping on water, the character sometimes seems to land on the surface for a moment before falling again, almost as if it were a bug. In general, jumping cannot really be used to leave certain pool areas, and, as other players have mentioned, it is not possible to use pool ladders to climb out naturally. Running on stairs can occasionally cause the character to get stuck or move more slowly than expected. The second map, with the purple brick theme, also feels somewhat emp…

I beat the game with 83% achievements. A super colorful and trippy realistic poolrooms game where you journey across colorful spacey pool worlds with magnificent skies, flamingos, glowing lights, doughnuts, slides, glowing balls and super fun gameplay. Loved it!!!

Can't move! mouse, keyboard or Xbox controller do not work. Graphics and sound appear to work, I just can't move around after intro OR scene. Demo works fine. I was really excited to play but some soft-lock bug is affecting the full game. Any ideas? I am running Windows 11, AMD laptop: Ryzen 9 7945HX 64GB DRAM, Radeon 7900m 16BG GDDR. Argh!

Beautiful and unique level design. I like how you have items to find on each level to unlock the exit. The graphics are beautiful and the music playing really does create a sense of peace. Can't wait to see what future levels gets added.
