These pockets are yours to conquer! This game requires no internet connection and presents sharp, vivid 3D graphics with realistic physics guiding each ball collision. The user may choose to play against a difficult opponent or an easy one, and may change their mind after each game with a smooth, easy-to-navigate menu system. Each player's pocketed balls are displayed conveniently at the top of the screen during gameplay. Instructions: Standard eight-ball pool rules apply. Strike the cue ball to hit the other balls into the pockets. The stripes player must sink all the stripes, and the solids player must sink all the solids. If you sink the eight ball before your balls are cleared, you lose the game - if you sink it after your balls are cleared, you win. (Stripes and solids are determined by the first ball to be sunk into a pocket, and the first player to sink it.) Controls: Once the cue appears, tap and hold in the direction you would like to hit the ball. The longer you press, the harder the cue will strike. (The cue will only appear on the screen when all of the balls have stopped moving.) Grab a pool cue and compete to guarantee your seat on top. Good luck!

Matchero!'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
