What is Ultrapool?
Ultrapool is a roguelike deckbuilder built on a pool table, made by Icedrop Games and published by offbrand games. It left early access on 24 August 2026 and runs on PC (Steam), iOS, Android — $11.99 on Steam, free on mobile. Every ball you rack is effectively a card: pocketing it scores points, points above the round target turn into money, and that money buys more balls at the bar between rounds. A standard run is 10 rounds; the hardest difficulty stretches it to 20.
The Steam launch post advertises 150+ balls across 8 thematic sets. Five of those sets are out — Classic, Nature, Tech, Spooky and Friends — and this site currently documents 121 balls, 39 snacks and 10 cubes from them, each with the effect text the game itself shows. Start with the ball database, check which ones actually scale in the ball tier list, then learn how the cocktail bar fuses two balls into one.

FAQ
Is it "Ultrapool" or "Ultra Pool"?
The game is one word: Ultrapool, by Icedrop Games. Two-word searches for "ultra pool" mostly return pool-cleaning services and Intex above-ground pools, which is why the game can be hard to find. On mobile it is listed as "Ultrapool: Pool Roguelite".
Is Ultrapool free?
It depends on the platform. On Steam it is a paid game at $11.99 USD (discounted at launch). On iOS and Android it is free to install, with in-app purchases. Both were released on 24 August 2026.
Is Ultrapool on iOS and Android?
Yes. Ultrapool launched on Steam, the App Store and Google Play on the same day, 24 August 2026. The iOS listing is "Ultrapool: Pool Roguelite" and requires iOS 17.0 or later; the Android package is com.icedropgames.pool. See the mobile page for what differs between the versions.
How This Table Is Kept
Ultrapool Wiki is an independent, unofficial fan resource for Ultrapool players — not affiliated with Icedrop Games.
- How we verify: Every ball, snack and cube effect here is transcribed from the description the game itself shows, then checked against the community wiki entry for the same item. Anything the game does not state, such as an exact multiplier or a hidden cap, is left blank rather than guessed.
- Update cadence: Tables are re-checked after each Steam patch. The build they were verified against is printed at the top of every data page, so you can tell at a glance whether a table predates the update you are reading about.
- What we don't do: No invented totals. The Steam launch post advertises 150+ balls across 8 sets; 121 across 5 sets are documented so far, and both numbers are shown instead of the flattering one.
