8 Ball Pool
8 Ball Pool is a pool simulation that requires a player use logic, geometry and other skills to win. The game challenges the player with Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty levels. The player starts by picking an avatar and difficulty level on the main screen and a tabletop color and cue stick style on the settings menu.
The player must pocket all the balls from their set of solids or stripes and the eight ball before the game's avatar achieves the same goal. Their ultimate goal is to score as many points as possible. They receive bonus points if they perform combination moves, such as pocketing two balls at a time.
8 Ball Pool allows the player to perform the break. It designates their set based on the outcome. The player can choose to add spin to the cue ball by clicking the white ball icon that features a red dot. If a foul (scratch) takes place, such as the cue ball rolling into a pocket, the computer receives a turn. After a foul, the next player can take the cue ball in hand and place it anywhere on the table. If the player or computer pockets the eight ball before pocketing their set, they lose the game.
How to play:
Select a table color, stick design, avatar and difficulty level. Perform the break. Wait for the game to designate a set. Select the best angles to hit the balls. When forming a strategy, use the rails and other balls. Pocket the set and eight ball.
