About this game
The return of arcade pool from the creator of Really Bad Chess and Flipflop Solitaire.
Pocket-Run Pool combines 8-ball pool with the thrill of a chasing the perfect highscore.
In Pocket-Run, your goal is to sink all the balls, but where and when you sink them is what matters most!
With each pocketed ball, you're awarded points based on the pocket you sunk. So sink carefully, but watch out, with each miss or scratch you lose a life — run out before you finish the table and it's game over.
Compete against yourself, the world, or the bank in a variety of thrilling game modes!
Can you make the perfect pocket-run?

I've always loved pool, and when I got my first smartphone years ago, the world of digital pool games opened up to me.
There are certainly a lot of options out there, but finding a simple and enjoyable single-player pool game was harder than I expected. I found one that I enjoyed, but after playing it extensively I found it too easy to beat the computer every time. Suddenly the problem with pool hit me — when you play against a computer in a physics simulation, you're literally playing against a god... By which I mean, either the computer is going easy on you (for a reason), or it's playing a perfect game and taking all your money.
It dawned on me that if I wanted a good single player pool game, I'd have to make a new kind of pool — a variant that doesn't need a computer opponent, that's built around the notion of scoring and improving, of taking risks, and of presenting unique and interesting challenges.
Pocket-Run Pool is the game I came up with, I hope you enjoy it!

I've been playing this game for a while, and this comment is how I genuinely feel about the game. The controls are subpar, fine-tuning your aim is incredibly difficult to do because rather than a small gesture sliding the aim smoothly, the aim line just jumps abruptly (imagine a normal bike and a bike with pentagons wheels). But aside from controls, everything else is good, I like the aesthetics, I even watch the ads because I want to support the devs. Will update review if fixed!

Love this game but I think there is a serious flaw. It is nearly impossible to win the time limit bets. The clock should only count the time it takes the player to line up the shot. Sometimes after shooting it takes 10-20 seconds for the balls to stop completely and reset for the next shot. Turning down all timer bets costs a lot over time and is just not fun. Please change so only the lineup of each shot counts towards the time. Even lower time limits would be fine like that.

easily the best pool game ive found. its got great addicting gameplay thats easy to jump into at any time, a clean design, and best of all no slimy mobile game tactics! id rlly appreciate a classic 1v1 pool game mode (with ai opponents i mean, but local/online multiplayer would be great too), an undo button, more flexibility with control schemes - sensitivity options, different layouts, etc - and also for the game to not pause spotify upon entry, but as it is this is already pretty great!
