Pool Party supports Remote Play Together


Playing Pool Party is even more fun with friends! That’s why the game supports Remote Play Together on Steam.

What is Remote Play Together?
Remote Play Together means that 1 player (in possession of the game) can play remotely with friends on the internet. You can enjoy a game of Pool Party with up to 4 players! Video and audio are shared with the other players, but everyone is required to have a working controller connected to their own PC.

How do I activate Remote Play Together?
  • Launch the Pool Party game on Steam
  • Go to your (Steam) friends list and invite them to play
  • As soon as they accept the invitation, you can enjoy Pool Party together remotely!
Check out this page for more info on Steam - Remote Play Together.

Pool Party at TwitchCon Europe 2024

Hi!

We're thrilled to be participating in TwitchCon Europe 2024! You'll find us in the Indie Game Zone, showcasing Pool Party and inviting people to battle their friends in our beach themed booth. We have prepped with beach chairs, palm trees and beach balls, you can't miss it!

How scoring works and the first patch notes!

Yesterday we launched Pool Party and we received some good remarks and questions about the game. Thanks for sharing!

We already made some changes and fixes.

So, first up, the first patch notes:

  • Issues with the triangle button with PlayStation controllers have been fixed
  • An updated scoreboard


Please always feel free to let us know your experience with the game so we can keep on optimizing the game wherever possible!

We saw that there were some questions on how points seem to work in Pool Party. To tackle this we added clear communication to the scoreboard at the end of each game.

Anyone can join the fun with Pool Party. And even better, everyone continues to have a chance to win. With Pool Party, everyone has the chance to call themselves "King of the Party" at the very end. The rules are clear, but also offer plenty of opportunities for those who are behind to still come out on top!

The rules are quite simple, here they are. Firstly, points and how to win them:

  • 1st place = 3pts
  • 2nd place = 2pts
  • 3rd place = 1 pts
  • 4th place = 0 pts


Tennis and Football
In these two games you only win a match immediately if you have scored at least 2 points more than your opponent. If the difference is only 1 point, then the opponent still has one last chance to equalize thanks to the "10-second extra time" that kicks in. If they manage to equalize, the winner will be decided with Golden Goal.

We feel this keeps the game exciting at every step of the way. Someone could be on your tail until the very last round. This could even be someone who started out as the underdog. We want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to call themselves the King of the Party. In short, it's exciting until the end!
