Play amazing pool
Test your skills against top pool hustlers around the world. Pot balls and win coins to tune up your cues and avatars.
This game has a neat and colorful interface that you can stare at for hours. The controls are simple and straightforward. You have the English icon and your shot angles which auto aim for you. The lack of a power bar is kind of a let down since you have to guess the potential impact of your shot. The skills in this game do not reflect what you have in real life. All you need to do is choose the right tangent, and the game will do the rest.
Anyone can become a pro player without any actual experience in 8 Ball Pool. But, not anyone could get decked out in custom avatars and lavish looking pool cues. Pretty much everything in this game forces a microtransaction on you. Players can buy their way to the coolest cosmetics without having to grind and win thousands of games.
The auto-aim mechanics of the game let players do all kinds of awesome trickshots. Make complicated shots that you would never successfully pull off in real life. If you manage to play long enough, you eventually earn one of the collection cues. These special items give you huge advantages over other players. You can also buy them with cash, of course.
