I finished all the missions, but there was no updating. So I had to finish all games again to get 3 stars without cheating. I took me several months. But I did it. Now, please, you do your mission - add new levels. I tried several other poll games, but your type is just for me, the other ones are not so catchy. ### 2/5 — Crashes constantly!!! *2022-01-01, version 1.20* Have to keep rebooting to reset the game because it constantly crashes. Black screen, part of the screen and sometimes the cue stick won’t stay where you put it. ### 5/5 — UPDATE! U P D A T E ??? Where is the “coming soon” new levels at??? *2021-10-06, version 1.20* Come on, guys! “Coming Soon” should have been a half year ago! This game is great and actually can help folks of lower skill see what ballplay is required to achieve a given shot. I got out of my level 93 problem by using what ended up being 3 of my “free shots”. That allowed me to reposition the 8 for the needed bank. But it made me move a stripe! Now I have to waste more free shots to try again at some time. Easy to see what three star requirement is... win the frame! Then, IF you did not get them, you see why and look, no hearts gone and look! You got more coin for winning the frame star. Good game folks. No greed fest. Odd finish out gameplay paradigm but still quite instructional if one perseveres. I see folks complaining that level 93 does not match the video. You replied giexGreat physics, but no live play? And waiting for hearts is ok because you guys did not express too much greed and refill them often enough. So for that, you rise above the one star level I give to the greedtards at miniclip. But you need to put out an update with the impossible level 93 returned to the previous DOable version. ### 5/5 — Need to update more levels *2021-07-09, version 1.20* When is the coming soon going to happen ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-03-03, version 1.20* This game is a rip off. I just downloaded it and plaid for about half an hour. I didn’t take any offers. After loosing it quickly resets and gives you another shot, but beware everytime you try again they are secretly charging you card. The next morning as I viewed my bank app I noticed they charger me almost 110 dollars to play for a half hour. This app should be removed from Apple play for fraud!!!! ### 4/5 — Good game *2021-02-28, version 1.20* 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!! ### 5/5 — “Coming Soon” *2021-02-06, version 1.20* “Coming Soon”. It’s more like 2 years later and we are still waiting. Hurry up and wait for new levels.... ### 1/5 — Entertaining Game *2021-01-29, version 1.19* Bug Fixes really? How about new levels? How come no one ever responds to emails by fans? Worthless leaders at this company Edit: when the heck are you going to add some new levels? Absolutely love this game and I have enjoyed the challenge of each level. I hope there are ,ore levels coming soon because it gets old playing the already completed over and over. Hurry up and release some new levels! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2020-07-26, version 1.18* One of the best pool games I’ve played. I have 3 stars on every board but now im waiting for them to release some new ones. ### 5/5 — By far, THE best pool game ever. *2020-07-19, version 1.18* Addicted immediately after downloading. I just don’t like that you have to purchase power to keep playing. Although, if I’m going to be buying coins for any game, this one would be it. Great job to the creators of the game! 👍🏽 ## Frequently asked questions about 8 Ball Hero ### What is 8 Ball Hero? 8 Ball Hero is a 3D pool game where you can travel the world, compete against rivals, and win prestigious tournaments.
