8 Ball Pool

8 Ball Pool is a simple arcade game dedicated to billiard, specifically its most popular variation, the title 8-ball. Miniclip, a company specializing in a casual browser and mobile productions, is responsible for creating the game.

Mechanics

8 Ball Pool has no ambition to be a sophisticated billiard simulator, betting on simple, arcade gameplay where the player's role is only to determine the angle and power of the shot. The game offers typical assistance in the form of lines, showing the projected ball trajectory. As befits a billiard game, success requires not only dexterity but also logical thinking and the use of various strategies.

The game is available in a typical free-to-play model with microtransactions, and the main currency are the virtual chips, which are collected by the winner of the match. As we win more and more, we gain experience, allowing us to advance to higher levels and gradually unlock access to new billiard clubs, in which players are playing for progressively bigger stakes. Using the in-house store, we can purchase unique table and billiard club designs, as well as one-time bonuses, extending the assistance lines or increasing the maximum power of shots.

Game modes

8 Ball Pool focuses mainly on online multiplayer gameplay. We can play a single match with a randomly selected opponent, take part in a tournament for up to 8 people or invite friends to play.

Technical aspects

Like other popular Miniclip games, 8 Ball Pool features simple but highly aesthetic 2D graphics, perfect for browsers and small screen displays on mobile devices.
