Ball 8 Pool

About Ball 8 Pool

Chalk up and pick a difficulty first: easy, medium or high, depending on how much billiards you have played. Ball 8 Pool then sits you at a 3D table against an opponent, where you strike the white ball using a cue to knock the coloured balls into the pockets.

Pot a ball and you keep your turn; miss and the turn passes to the other side. The white ball itself must never go down. A power indicator in the lower left shows how hard the cue will strike, so you can balance a soft tap against a break-style hit. It is a straightforward pool game for a quick match.
