8 Ball Pool

8 Ball Pool puts the familiar pool-table contest into online matches. You line up the cue, choose a shot and try to turn a successful pot into a useful position for the next one. Reading the table matters as much as taking the obvious ball in front of you.

Matches against friends give it a direct social use, while tournaments and progression provide other opponents and locations to work towards. Cues and table customisation add collection goals around the actual pool. Competitive matches can involve virtual coins, so selecting a table also means considering its in-game stakes.

It is a good option if you prefer measured aiming to fast movement controls. The focus is a repeatable sporting contest rather than a story. The Android version contains advertisements and offers optional purchases, including random items.
