Pot the balls with the cue ball. Classic mode is free play (pot all 8 balls), Arcade has 20 levels with limited shots, and Time Attack gives 60 seconds to pot as many as you can.
Controls we used
Mouse or touch drag: press on the cue ball, pull back to aim and set power, release to shoot.
On a phone (390px test)
Partly – it runs and the shot control works on a 390px phone, but in portrait the table was wider than the screen and the side pockets were cut off at the edges. Landscape or desktop is better.
Load time
About 3.5 seconds – slower than most games we tested.
Difficulty
Medium. The break is easy; aiming precise pots takes practice, and Arcade levels limit you to a few shots each.
In-game ads
Yes – the GameMonetize video-ad system (Google IMA) loads with the game.
How a session plays
Tap to play → menu (Play, Rules, Leaderboard, Achievements) → mode select. Our Classic break shot spread the rack, and the shot counter and fouls counter updated. In Arcade level 1 each shot used one of three shots left.
Our verdict: A feature-rich pool game with three real modes; best on desktop or a phone held sideways.
How we test: we open the game in a desktop browser and in a 390px-wide phone view, time how long it takes to load, play through the opening level or round and note exactly what we saw. We only write down things we observed. More about our testing.
