Pool Buddy

Pool Buddy is a puzzle game built around one simple idea — get Buddy to the pool. Across 15 levels, that task becomes surprisingly involved, with obstacles, moving parts, and environmental puzzles standing between your character and a relaxing swim.

The core mechanic revolves around manipulating objects in the scene to clear a safe path. Some solutions are fairly intuitive, while others require a bit of trial and error to figure out the right sequence of interactions. Nothing feels arbitrary though — the puzzles have a logic to them that rewards observation over guessing.

It suits short play sessions well. Each level is contained and completable in a few minutes, so it works whether you have ten minutes or an hour to spare. The difficulty climbs gradually, giving newer players time to get comfortable before things get more demanding.
