Pool Glow

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 love the pool theme. But this game looks like it was made by kindergarten kids, extremely lack of polishing in almost every aspect.

The game is in a pretty bad state. I was hitting invisible walls, weird camera shaking/stuttering... The UI is atrocious. Looks beautiful like it could have potential, but def cannot recommend in its current state.

Poorly optimized, no V-Sync and tears extremely on 5080

Still had trouble with the radio
