8 Ball Hero - Pool Puzzle Game Wiki

This is the most entertaining pool game I’ve played and the physics are great. I like the challenge format because there are always different scenarios with different goals. There is no pause in the action waiting for other players. But I beat all the stars for the 320 levels and I’ve been waiting a long time for more. It says “coming soon” but is it? Super fun game but we’re waiting for more

Great game... only one problem. There is no way to see the star requirements before or during the attempt. You only see the star requirements at the end of a level which effectively robs you of opportunities to get 3 stars on the first try. Seems like a ploy to get more people to use hearts more often and generate more purchases... low tactic if you ask me...

Yet im far from a shark.. I like the game as it gives scenarios of real game situations.. duh lol.. but with this app I can try other approaches & safeties.. & try em again n again until I find the correct one. If I had any problem with this game it wud be the length of time waiting for the "coming soon" levels to be opened.. ohh the wait smh.. <sigh>

This is probably the best pool game I’ve played. It definitely helps your pool skills in real life in terms of shot selection and ball control. However, there aren’t enough levels. I just finished level 280 and the game is pretty much over now. Hope to see more levels introduced soon! Would also love to have different game modes where I can play against AI or participate in tournaments for rewards. Online gaming with friends would be a major plus! Hope the developers are working on expanding this game. Thanks for creating this!

This game is great. I like how the conditions to getting three stars are hidden until you complete the level. Then when you go back there is another task. It gives the game more to accomplish and adds to the overall experience.

I like this game. I’ve tried them all and not being any kind of good pool player, it gives me enough help to still be successful but challenged. A couple of suggestions please. When you are starting a level it would be nice to see the requirements for 3-star accomplishment of the level before you start. Maybe you are challenging the player to win the level first and then reveal the requirements. I understand this but once you’ve revealed them, it would be nice if they were listed at the top of the game screen so you ca remember the requirements. Even a toggle to reveal them first time around would be nice. I would like to accomplish them the first time around if I could. Also it would be nice to lock the 3d screen in instead of closeups and such. I like to see the cue ball rolling into the position I planned for the next shot. To me it distracts from the game... Thank you!!

The GOOD: this is probably one of the best pool games available with excellent graphics and very realistic physics. It’s not a full game of 8 ball, but rather predetermined scenarios. Playing this game could actually improve your real life pool playing abilities, it’s really that good! THE BAD: shameful cash grab scheme designed to addict players with a heart/energy system designed to force you to sit through multiple ads or sink endless amounts of cash into progressing. THE FIX: allow players the option of buying the full game with endless continues ($6.00 for 1 day of endless continues? Come on!). Also, add a full game of 8 ball game mode (online, vs AI) in addition to the scenario based game. I’d gladly shell out $10 for this level of quality. Come on Developers! Show us you care about the player. You deserve to make money for putting out a quality product, but don’t cheapen your art by framing it in corporate tactics. Be as good as the quality you have produced here and I’m sure every game you create after this will be worth my attention.

The entire game consists of only 14 "Seasons" in which there are about 20 games each. The games are not even complete games. They start at the last shot(s) of the game. You play anywhere between 2 and 7 balls each game. Don't know if or when there might be a next season. The games are rigged so that you must get the balls in pockets in the order specified. But you don't get to see the order until you finish the game. This requires you to go back and win it again in most cases. Rip-off. Also, don't spend any money on the inadequate tools they offer.

I love this game! Only two things that bug me. I wish I could play a full game of pool with this layout and graphics. Great job guys! The only thing I would love for you guys to do is put each levels “mission quest” (as I like like to call them) on the pause screen or pre-round. I hate playing the match and then seeing only 1star. If I could see the level task before hand I would know each levels challenge and try to get them the first go around. If you fix these issues and possibly add full games, I would definitely rate 5 stars!

I love this game but I have a very big problem. Level 53 is the most ridiculous. I’ve done everything to make clean shots and still don’t get credit. I’ve beaten every other level waiting for the new one to come and have been going back and getting three stars on ever level. But for some reason no matter what you do, level three is IMPOSSIBLE to get three stars!

Ok... to start off there is a serious problem with the Lucky Shots. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do because it does not tell me what I’m supposed to accomplish. Also it’s hard to get 3 stars on a level because it tells you what you are supposed to have done after you are done. I think it’s a good game but the goals or challenges should be told beforehand...

This game had to have been designed for, or by some snowflake, participation trophy millennials. The essence is to ultimately sink the 8 ball in a series of "challenges." Mind you; the pool game is cut short by a fast forward of a mocked game. The physics of the game are interesting but there is nothing "real" about the feeling of playing pool. The orator cheers you on as if you are a child. It's a very Las Vegas-y bells and lights kind of thrill. I didn't find this game challenging as much as I did frustrating. There are objectives listed AFTER you complete each challenge; so if you don't miraculously complete a challenge the way the game intends you to; your star rating is lower and you have the chance to reattempt the challenge. Why are these objectives not stated clearly when the round begins? Again, I might like this game if I were twelve but the demographic range is all over the place making it feel cheesy overall. Hence my two star rating. This is not playing pool. These are pool challenges.

This is without a doubt the best pool game for the iPhone. The graphics and physics are excellent. The in app purchases are moderately balanced in that you truly can play through the game without spending real cash. What I love about this game is that it provides fun challenges and in my opinion, helps players understand the different fundamental concepts of pool. Additionally, the graphics are a pleasure to view and the collision physics are spot on (you can make very tight/close shots). Now for the problems. There is no way for players to view the star requirements at the level start. Rather, you need to either get lucky and pass the requirements unknowingly or you fail and can then see the star requirements. This is a slimy tactic and should be changed as it detracts from the player experience. My other issue is the way identity is managed. The developers only allow account creation (and game progress backup) via Facebook account. This is absolutely not acceptable and is an unfriendly slap to players. Please add login via gamecenter or email.

I still think its an awesome game i i had originally given it 4 stars but i have since changed because my issue was it was syncing properly on multiple devices. I know pool is a challenging game but im stuck on 105 for about 3 weeks and use all my power on it so i have stopped playing. Some may say its childish but im stuck and there is no use playing if i cant get pass it. Maybe think about adding a skip button for impossible shots. Thanks
