Pooking - Billiards City Wiki

UPDATE: After I achieved all combo crowns on every level up to 1020 I realized I beat game. There are no more levels. Of the thousands of dollars in ads I watched that you made money on could very well fund additional levels. As of now you can make no money off of me because there is no reason now to play your game. And it’s good, obviously if I played enough to master every level, but throwing together another 1000 levels even based on the original 1020 with minor alterations wouldn’t take but a couple hours of programming. OLD Review: Totally awesome game. Challenges you and your own abilities. Some real tough tables. Personally I prefer the standard table but there are some oddly shaped but symmetrical tables that are extremely difficult at any level. I am at level 500 and it is still as random and interesting as the first table. But once you get past level 200, the difficulty levels off. Best pool game available if you don’t want to go head to head on the internet but doing that would be my only suggestion.

As it is, this game is as challenging as it is peaceful as it is addictive. I don’t know how many levels there are, but I hope there are at least 1000. I’m on 229 If these guys would do a couple things, this game would be legendary: 1. When you miss a shot, you can’t come back from that and get the “crown” for that level. One should be able to make up for it by doing difficult shots like banks and combos and so forth. 2. This game needs instructions. It’s not that it is a difficult game to understand and play, but, for instance, what are the properties of the various sticks that you get as you go along? What do those letters at the top mean? Things like that. 3. One should get extra points for banked shots. 4. When you put a ball in a pocket that has the hand that removes a ball, you should be able to choose which ball is removed 5. After a scratch it’s hard to place the cue ball. Your finger covers it and you can’t see where exactly it’s going to be placed. 6. You should be able to call the pocket and get extra points for making a called shot pocket. 7. Make a level where you have to sink the balls in order (nine ball) 8. Have an “undo” function that costs you a heart or something.

I know that this game isn't a blast of epic racing, fighting or serious strategy but, that's the beauty of this game.. no frills, just the table, a little goofy table shapes, plenty of difficult shots to make with really tight pockets for a challenge!! I find that most games I play on several different devices or consoles takes me from my own thinking and "easy mode" of comfortable thought and base enjoyment zone?!! Sometimes, more than not and def much more sought after are the times you just want to pull away from the world and play a little pool!!! Would like to hit a Rack-A-Balls e'ry now & again but I don't miss it that much?! Great game y'all, keep the same simplicity but invent more to keep me coming back even more!

Yes.. this is a five star review. I have played it for months. But here is the challenge. If you are perfect, not missing a shot, every stroke you get either 1 or more balls in a pocket, you get the crown. Once I discovered this, that is all that I look for. Miss a shot, you have to start over. I play the same board sometime 20 times. But making the last shot..and it puts the ball in the pocket. That’s a good feeling. I love the special notice when it appears that marks the pocket and if you get the ball in the game removes another ball. Quite helpful if your playing for the crown. I know there are folks that are playing the game have never seen a crown. It came as surprise the first time for me as well. Anyway .. great game!

I truly enjoy playing this game and find that hours can pass while I try to get a crown. I've been playing for quite a while, and for the longest time I was trying to understand what the hearts and gloves were all about, as well as what causes things to happen, like the table going dark. I'm still not certain. The challenge of learning how hard to hit a ball; knowing angles that work better than others; and learning that if you sink a ball in a hole not marked with a red heart, it seems to count anyway for something; all this is very intriguing. The game seems geometry-based which I really enjoy. It would make the game even more interesting if I understood how scoring is tracked, if there even is scoring.

Was a nice surprise when tables with oddly placed pockets appeared. I also like how they set up trick/combo shots. Makes me feel like pro when I sink them hahaha. Yes, I agree you should tone down the ads, but I also understand developers of Free games generate their $$$ from these 5 second ads. Still... if I want to redo the table? I get an ad. If I miss a shot and tap Pause then Redo? Ad. Next table? Ad. Dude!! It’s excessive for sure. Hopefully, the spread between ads lessens at higher levels, but just being at Lvl 23 I doubt the frequency will decrease any time soon. I’ll play to level 51 (see if it lessens after level 50). If it still produces ads at every new table and replay? Delete.

I have completed this game THREE TIMES. I just finished my third time, but I do have a few issues. 1. I’ve played pool a great many times in my 67 years and having my own table I’ve learned many techniques on how to control my balls, like setting up my next shots, having the ball to follow, or to back up etc. and this game does not follow the rule of thumb. Now with that being said, I still like this game and will continue to play it. But again there’s could still be some improvements, like curving around another ball, or jumping a ball. There are tricks shots that could be implemented. Still, I compliment you and thank you for good game.

A great game. The levels get harder as you progress. It is a single player game which I like. I don’t like being forced to play other people if I don’t want to. Overall it seems to be pretty realistic. This has given me hours of entertainment. The worst part was when the game was freezing between levels. But that seems to be worked out. I think it had something to do with the ads. Speaking of ads. They are not too long and I are not that annoying. Yes the pop up between each level. But they are usually short and, as of yet, do not bother me.

From the English responses to the visual experience, you can actually sense the weight of the cue balls and the density of the table. Pretty amazing. The only issue I had in the beginning was trying to aim the cue stick when shooting from the left end of the table where the trigger sits. If you're not careful you activate the trigger without realizing it and then it cues when you take your finger off the screen. I've since learned to just spin the cue from the center of the table. Same thing happens on the right end... your finger activates the fine adjustment aiming slider while trying to manually aim the cue. I don't understand the progression requirements for each set... I would think you need to pocket each cue numerically, but it seems to reward you for pocketing randomly. I don't know. Wish these things came with instructions. If they are available I don't see them. That's why I only gave 4 stars. People who write these things always leave it up to the user to figure out how to actually utilize their apps. EVERY piece of software should have complete instructions. My first rule in life: If at first you don't succeed... read the instructions!

Nice game, however it’s out of scale. Corner pockets are slightly larger than the object ball. Corner pocket holes should be the size of 2 balls plus. There should be 11 balls from end rail to head spot or foot spot. Side pockets cuts are very wide. Combination shots don’t allow balls to be thrown. Because scale is not correct, it doesn’t allow natural combinations to happen. English doesn’t work as it should. Nice draw and follow however. Fun to play but a bit frustrating at times. Get rid of the hand that appears and then takes your ball away. It would be nice if you could actually play a game such as straight pool, etc. In real life I have many times ran 100 plus balls (racked) shooting straight pool. I’m lucky to run 50 balls (open rack) in this game . It’s still pretty close to real life and I do enjoy it.

It’s seems like every billiard app out there only lets you play against another person or the computer. However, there are many times when I would just like to practice my shots and not compete against someone. I love this app because it lets me practice my games WITHOUT a competitor. Even thought I really enjoy this app and the fact that it’s FREE would usually make it 5 stars in my book, there are a couple reasons it didn’t get 5 stars from me. 1. I hate having to wait for the ads in between each game. Way too many ads and no way to get rid of them. I would be willing to pay $2.99 to get rid of them. 2. This would be a perfect app if I could actually play a game of 8-ball or 9-ball by MYSELF. This way I could truly practice my game. I would be willing to pay a one time charge of $4.99 if I could play either 8-ball and 9-ball by MYSELF. I would like to play against myself. I can play against someone else on any other app. If you made these changes I would tell all of my pool friends about it and would gladly to give you 5-Stars. Thanks!😁👍

The physics engine works great, it’s very easy to get In and start playing, and it looks very nice. A more extended tutorial to go over the finer points of ball English would be nice for those who have never played a video pool game before but with a bit of playing around it can be figured out. One major issue I have with the game is the placement of ads over the Rube Goldberg-esque animations after each round. I’m sure someone on your team put a lot of thought into those, and we the players can’t see what is happening because as soon as we complete the level, bam, an ad starts, covering your slick little animations. Fix that, and maybe an eventual multiplayer and even a way to purchase to go ad free would be great.

Enjoyed this a lot. Suggest taking stick angle away from the whole damned screen as it can often change your angle while shooting. There are enough options elsewhere. Also...your english is backwards. Left english moves the cueball left after the strike, right english moves the cueball right after the strike. And the cueball does not transfer english to the table balls. Certainly the table balls do not transfer english back to the cueball, yet I’ve observed some really weird curves on a cueball third hand that are impossible irl. Just watched the cue ball with no english on it run a ball into the pocket on the short rail, hit that rail, run the length of the table, bounce off the opposite rail, come out what would have been about 8 inches irl and do a 90 degree turn to the left...lol. It did its own masse! Wow. Pool is a game of vectors. The only reason you can put english on the cue ball is because your stick tip is relatively soft and “grabby”, if you will. But hey...it’s a virtual game. Still enjoy it. Definitely need a way to shut off the hand. PITA The crazy, backwards, and unpredictable gamed english is annoying. Clearly the creator of this game never shot a game of pool in his or her life.

The game is nice. Theres not enything wrong with it. No bugs, No issues but there is some problems that may not be that important to you because it’s my personal opinion. I don’t like how once your past level 10 they make you play on a weird table that’s shaped like Tennessee lol. I mean the table is really weird because the shape of it makes it look rediculas and then they expect you to do crazy corner shots that are impossible because the tables weirdly shaped. But on the regular shaped table that REGULATES REAL POOL is nice. All I have to say is if you want a good realistic gaming experience that’s about pool mabey consider another game. Very challenging game though. If you want a good quality semi realistic game that’s challenging you got your main game. The reason I think it’s a 5 star game is because of the graphics. At first I donlaoded the game to see if this game was a joke or not but holy crap was I wrong. This game might have the best graphics on mobile I’ve seen in a while. Plz install the game. You’re going to really love it😀🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱
