With thrilling gameplay and realistic physics employed in each and every ball collision, this unique game will have you at the edge of your seat as you choose from two exciting games. In Pool Dynamite, any ball the cueball touches must be sunk in a pocket within 60 seconds or it will explode. While the same is true for Pool Outbreak, it carries the additional challenge that any ball near the explosion will be "contaminated" and will have its explosion timer started as well. Beware of chain reactions! Controls: Once the cue appears, tap and hold or click 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. You need a steady hand and a sharp eye to diffuse this explosive pool game. Good luck!

Cuebreak

Rack them up, chalk your cue, and break — no internet, no account, no waiting on a rival to take their turn. Cuebreak is real 8-ball pool with true 2D ball physics and a sharp AI opponent you can actually learn to beat, right in your pocket. Most pool games push you online, drown you in timers and shove a paywall between you and the table. Cuebreak goes the other way: it is a calm, complete, single-player break whenever you want one — on the train, on the sofa, on a flight with the Wi-Fi off. Aim, judge the angle, add a touch of spin, and sink the 8 to win. REAL POOL, REAL PHYSICS - Every shot is driven by a genuine 2D physics engine: elastic ball-on-ball collisions, cushion rebounds, friction and spin. - Add top, bottom or side spin to follow, draw or swerve the cue ball into perfect position for your next pot. - Ghost-ball aim lines show exactly where the cue ball and object ball will travel, so you play angles like a real pool shark. BEAT THE MACHINE ON YOUR TERMS - Face an AI opponent across four difficulty levels, from a friendly Easy to a ruthless Pro that punishes every miss. - Full 8-ball rules done right: open table on the break, solids vs stripes, ball-in-hand after a foul, and lose if you sink the 8 too early. - No connection, no lag, no strangers — just you against a computer opponent that plays a clean, believable game. CUE COACH — YOUR SECRET WEAPON - Stuck on a tough layout? Tap the Cue Coach and it reads the whole table, picks your best pot and lines the shot up for you. - It highlights the exact ball, the target pocket and the precise aiming line, like a pro whispering over your shoulder. - Three hints per match against the machine, and unlimited help on the practice table so you can learn every angle. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY - Quick Match: one rack against the AI at the difficulty you choose. - Bar Tour: a 20-stage career through fictional halls, each with a tougher local champion — win to unlock the next. - 2 Players: pass and play on a single phone and settle it like you would at the pub. - Practice Table: an endless free table to grind your longest pot run and groove your stroke. TRACK EVERY BREAK - A clean stats screen tracks your win rate, potting accuracy, best run, longest win streak and more. - A GitHub-style consistency heatmap and weekday charts show when you really play. - Chase around 54 achievements across wins, runs, foul-free games, the Bar Tour and beating the Pro. PERFECT FOR - Pool and billiards fans who want a real 8-ball game to play offline, with no internet and no forced accounts. - Commuters, travelers and anyone who needs a no-Wi-Fi game for the train, a flight or a dead zone. - Players who love single-player games and want a computer opponent instead of online strangers. - Anyone learning to aim, use spin and plan position who wants a coach to show the way. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE - Cuebreak is 100% single-player and works completely offline. - No account, no sign-up and no personal data collected by us; your stats stay on your device. - One-time optional ads support the game; it is fully playable without spending a cent. Chalk up, line up the break and run the table. Download Cuebreak and pot the 8.
