Your pocket billiards companion — AKB. Practice solo, run matches with friends, or take on the Great Devil. AKB supports 1 to 4 players, plus drop-in guests — from your very first shot to ruling the hall, there's a mode for you. Modes that were earned, not added. Beyond standard rules like Chinese 8-Ball, American 9-Ball, and English Snooker, there's a stack of modes you won't find anywhere else — AKB-2.1, AKB-RussianStyle, AKB-3Kingdoms, and AKB-GreatDevil, a monster-battle mode even beginners can jump right into. None of them were tacked on to pad a feature list — every one was tested and reworked on real tables, and only kept because it was genuinely fun and useful. More than a scorekeeper. Assistant: automatically records the score, accuracy, and best run of every practice and match. Coach: Growth Cards track your history, so you can see exactly where you're strong and where you're not. Scorekeeper: full scoring for multiplayer matches, with post-game reports for easy review. Play pool. AKB has you covered.
