------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
I've always loved pool, and when I got my first iPhone 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!

Pocket Run Pool Reviews

Physics are inaccurate

Relesh on

United Kingdom

Fun concept but often the ball doesn’t go anywhere near where the line is pointing. When you’re on the last ball and you suddenly lose because the physics are broken it isn’t very fun

Lots of fun, but some fine tuning…

Had this game for about a month now - enjoying it a lot, particularly the mix of quick tournaments and weekly puzzles alongside the high stakes tournament. On the downside I have noticed fine cuts (I.e. shots above about 75 degrees) don’t go anywhere near the direction arrow - seems like something is not quite right with the coding. But, love Zach Gage - have many of his games, this one is worth adding to the collection.

Love Zach’s games

Love his games but Zach, on iPad Air 2020 the top and right are clipped. Makes this very difficult to play!

Very fun

jssjsxjxs on

United Kingdom

This game is one of the most fun pool games there are. Made better by removing ads. The only complaint is that it is difficult to get coins

Fun game with one serious omission

vaguedisclaimer on

United Kingdom

It must have backspin (English as I think it is called in the US). Then it would be an ideal time waster, and we all need those every now and then.

Trashhhhhhhh

Terrible just play 8ball pool

High quality

Reevio on

United Kingdom

The design looks and feels great and it’s a neat riff on the standard pool mechanic. After a couple of games I knew I’d be playing it a lot, making the no ads upgrade a no brainer. Thanks for the obvious effort and attention to detail here, and already started checking out the other games in the portfolio. 👍🏻

Very unrealistic physics

x0sonix0x on

United Kingdom

As an avid pool player, I like to play various pool apps and this is one of the worse ones I have come across; there is no option to add spin to the cue ball, and the physics of the game don’t make much sense sometimes. Smashing a ball directly into the rail and for the ball to creep along the rail is quite annoying when attempting bank shots.

What's happened to this game?

alfiemjc on

United Kingdom

Have loved this simple little game for ages as I've clambered my way to 18th place but over the last few weeks strange things have started to happen when striking a ball at an angle, the ball struck will sometimes take an impossible path. A ball struck gently into the top right pocket will just suddenly stop short. So many odd glitches have appeared. Please sort it out guys!

Meh

Backpnsandiwks on

United Kingdom

In a game where the next shot counts, you can’t setup any spin at all to setup for the next shot. Seems pointless and a massive oversight tbh
