Review

In this uninspiring game about pool, the player progresses through different stages trying to sink all of the balls around the obstacles. There are also some other game modes, including different rules, such as having to sink the balls within a certain number of strokes or sinking the balls in a certain order. There is also multiplayer.

Obstacles Obstacles within a level

To be honest, the game feels like a mobile game from the early 2000s due to its lack of many features which are expected of modern cue sport games, such as spin mechanics. The neon aesthetics is cool but the rest of the game, such as the soundtrack (or lack thereof) feels low budget. The worst aspect for me, however, is the unpolished gameplay. Moving the cue around is painfully slow (with no option to speed up) and physics is very broken; any slight touch from the cue ball sends the other balls flying.

Mechanics Boring and unpolished gameplay

Conclusion

Unpolished cue sports game.

Overall rating: 5.8
