Pocket Pool: 8 Ball Offline

Pocket Pool is eight-ball pool the way you know it from the big pool games: the table lies across the screen, you turn the cue with a finger, pull it back and let go. Play other people online, a friend with a table code, the computer, or a friend on the same phone. Without internet everything but the online tables keeps working. HOW TO PLAY - Drag anywhere on the table to turn the cue, or tap where you want to aim. A guide shows where the cue ball meets the object ball and where each will go - Roll the wheel on the right to turn the cue a hair at a time - Pull the cue on the left down and let go to shoot - the further you pull, the harder the shot - Tap the cue ball at the top to choose where the tip strikes: follow, draw or side spin - With the ball in hand, drag the cue ball where you want it EIGHT-BALL RULES, KEPT SIMPLE - The table is open until someone pockets a ball after the break - that decides solids and stripes - Hit one of your own balls first - A scratch, a miss, the wrong ball first, or a hit after which nothing reaches a cushion is a foul: your opponent gets the ball in hand - Clear your seven, then pocket the 8 to win - Pocket the 8 too early, or foul while pocketing it, and you lose the frame - A 30-second shot clock keeps the frame moving - switch it off if you like to take your time - For a stricter game, switch on "call the pocket" for the 8 WAYS TO PLAY - Online: one tap finds an opponent; no account, no sign-up, no chat - A friend online: open a table, pass on the five-letter code - After an online frame: ask for a rematch at the same table, or look for a new opponent - Against the computer: Easy, Medium or Hard. It lines up its shots where you can see them, so you always know what it is about to try - Two players, one phone: pass it back and forth - Practice: no opponent, no rules to break, just the table CUES AND COINS - Every frame against the computer or online pays coins - more for a win, most online, and a bonus once a day - Eight cues, each with four plain numbers: Force, Aim, Spin and Time - Buy a cue with your coins and upgrade it step by step - Try any cue for 10 minutes by watching a video, before you save up for it - Nothing is ever staked and nothing costs real money REAL BALL BEHAVIOUR - Balls slide, then roll; a full hit stops the cue ball, follow sends it on, draw brings it back - Side spin kicks the cue ball off the cushions - Balls rattle in the jaws of a pocket if you clip the cushion - The break scatters the whole rack - Numbers and stripes turn as the balls roll GOOD TO KNOW - Your frame is saved automatically - close the game any time and carry on later - Take back your last shot by watching a video (against the computer and in practice) - The computer now plays follow and draw, and on Hard it finds pots off a cushion - Sound can be switched off - Wins and losses against each level, and your best run of balls, are kept - No account; internet only for the online tables - English, German, French, Italian and Spanish Pocket Pool is free and shows ads. Video ads are always your choice.
