How it feels

You walk through a familiar-looking pool area, searching for subtle anomalies to escape, with a light tension and occasional surprises.

What players say

Players are divided on StrangePool. Some find it funny and enjoy its weird, silly atmosphere, but many are frustrated that anomalies appear far too infrequently, making long stretches feel boring. The game is short and relies on a recurring joke about an obese bald man, which some find amusing and others bland. A few players mention disruptive bugs, such as being pushed by a dog.
