Relaxing, especially with just the sound effects on, very ASMR.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Before even going into this fun and charming little indie here, the comparisons between another popular title in the form of My Suika (a game that some are likely to already be familiar with) can easily be made considering that this new title appears to be influenced by its gameplay mechanics; only this time it's put a new spin to the formula by taking inspiration from a fancy real life sport known as either snooker or 8-ball, more commonly under the general branch of 'pool games'.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Next I'd like to discuss the graphics which, considering My Suika's charming and colourful anime artstyle as far as the fruits (plus the various cosmetics) goes on top of how satisfying each combined fruit feels in that game, I am fairly satisfied with how POOOOL keeps things relatively simple but still having its own unique aesthetics as to ensure it doesn't overwhelm the player once things get hectic and the table itself quite preoccupied!
