Killer Pool
Read full descriptionHide full description
Killer is the pool-hall elimination game: everyone starts with the same number of lives, shoots in turn, and loses a life on a miss. Last player standing wins. Killer Pool is the scorekeeper for it — built for a phone sitting on the rail while the actual game happens on the table. ADD PLAYERS, START PLAYING Add everyone playing, hit Start, and the app handles the rest: whose turn it is, how many lives everyone has left, and who's out. No more asking "wait, was I after Marcus or before?" ONE TAP PER SHOT Potted a ball? Tap POT. Missed? Tap MISS. That's the entire interface during play — lives, turn order, and eliminations update themselves. PLAYER AVATARS Every player gets a distinct colored initial automatically. Want a real face instead? Tap any avatar to take their photo, so "who's up" is a glance, not a squint at names. Photos show on the TV and the live page. HOUSE RULES, YOUR CALL - Starting lives per player - 8-ball rule: cap at max lives, or no upper limit - Shuffle turn order each round, or keep it fixed - Optional special cards: Ball in Hand, Assign Player, Skip Turn, Free Shot, Swap Lives, Steal a Life, Extra Life, Shield — pick which ones are in play, or run a straight game with none of them FIX A MIS-TAP Hit the wrong button mid-game? Manage Roster has a lives and cards corrector for every player — no need to restart over a slip of the thumb. INVITE PLAYERS WITH A QR CODE Show the QR code or share the link: players type their name and they're on your list. No app needed for them. FOLLOW ALONG LIVE Friends scan a QR code to watch the game on their phone, live, no app needed. CAST TO THE TV Chromecast sends the live game to a TV on the same Wi-Fi: the room sees who's up, the prize pot and who's still in, while your phone keeps the controls. PLAN A GAME NIGHT Announce a game, let players nearby sign up, and start it with the signed-up players already added. WINNER, SETTLED When it's down to one player, Killer Pool shows the final standings — no arguing about who actually won by the time the last ball drops. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No sign-up and no ads. Nothing is tracked. Game details are stored online only so share links, the TV and My games work; see the privacy policy.
