About Pool Buddy 3

Welcome to Pool Buddy 3, the exhilarating logic game designed for players of all ages! This latest installment brings a fresh twist, moving away from the mechanics of Pool Buddy 2 while retaining the beloved classic character that fans know and adore. With summer fast approaching and temperatures rising, our protagonist has opted for a stylish hat to stay cool

The genre lives on responsive steering, a sense of speed and a scoring system based on time, position or distance. Pool Buddy 3 understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of anticipation and anticipation, dressed up in fast presentation.

Tips and tricks

  • Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
  • Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
  • Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
  • Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
  • Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
  • Because this is a Platform game, jump from the very edge of a platform for maximum distance.

Who will enjoy it

We would recommend Pool Buddy 3 to anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best. A typical session is a single race of one to three minutes, or a longer career if unlocks are involved. Difficulty-wise it is forgiving on early tracks, demanding on later ones. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
