About

8Ball Par

Features
Read full description

8Ball Par is a puzzle game that blends the precision of pool with the strategy of golf. Line up your shot, control your power, and sink balls into target circles across an endless variety of table layouts. Every hole is scored like golf — aim for birdies, avoid bogeys, and chase your best round. The rules are simple but the challenge builds fast. Early holes start with a single ball and a single target. Before long you're navigating obstacles, wall barriers, and multi-ball setups where every angle matters. The physics feel tight and the margins get thin. Two ways to play. Endless mode generates a new table every hole and keeps going until your lives run out. Daily 9 gives every player the same nine holes each day — a fresh set every morning, same for everyone worldwide. Unlock new cue sticks and table colours with coins earned during play. Compete on Game Center leaderboards for highest endless score or lowest daily shot count. Features Pool-meets-golf puzzle gameplay with realistic ball physics Endless mode with procedurally generated holes and progressive difficulty Daily 9 challenge with identical holes for all players worldwide Five hole types including obstacles, wall barriers, two-ball, and colour-matched targets Golf-style scoring with eagles, birdies, pars, and bogeys 16 unlockable cue sticks and 8 table colour themes Game Center leaderboards for endless high scores and daily low scores Tactile haptic feedback and satisfying sound design Hand-drawn toon art style with bold outlines and vibrant colours Coin collection system with on-table pickups
