Your next shot is your next rung. Pool Playoff brings 8-ball and 9-ball to your phone, with touch aiming, pull-back power and real-physics shots. Play a quick computer rival, build a solo career, invite your crew, or test your nerve on a rising skill ladder. CLIMB THE SKILL LADDER Start with satisfying straight pots. Build up to longer shots, blocked paths, cushion escapes and demanding banks. The final rungs take away the guide and ask you to read the angles. Each run uses the same equipment and verified shot rules. MAKE YOUR RUN COUNT Start with three event tickets. Tickets replenish over time, and free practice keeps the table open between ranked runs. Clear a rung for the first time in that event round to earn 100 coins. Return for a better best run and see your standing among real entrants. A percentile appears once at least ten verified players have entered. A NEW LOOK AT THE ANGLES Haunted Hustle, Neon Nights and Rail Rush rotate through the event schedule with different looks and table layouts. See the active round and its remaining time in the app. New original electronic tracks, punchier table effects and independent sound controls set the pace. RISE SOLO. BRING YOUR CREW. Play 8-ball or 9-ball against six computer levels, take on a solo career, or pass the phone for a local game. Search for a casual or competitive online 8-ball rival. Share private 1v1 rooms or bring four saved players to untimed 2v2 doubles. Clubs and the player ladder give your crew somewhere to return. PLAY YOUR WAY Drag on the felt to aim, then pull the left cue and release. Open How to play whenever you need it. Music, table effects, crowd reactions and aim zoom have separate controls. Ranked event runs, event coins, online play and server leaderboards require an internet connection and an eligible saved player. Local career and ordinary solo challenges stay on this device and do not award server coins. Free event tickets replenish; optional coin refills are available. Coin stacks use Apple In-App Purchase where offered. Coins have no cash value, cash-out or real-money wagers. Online shared rooms support 8-ball; 9-ball is available in solo and pass-and-play.
