Some pool games animate a shot. PoolVision simulates one with real physics, smart offline AI to challenge you. Every break, cut, and cushion rebound resolves through a purpose-built physics engine. Apply english with the spin dial and the cue ball draws, follows, and caroms the way a real one would. Line a shot up and it goes where you aimed it — no invisible assists, no scripted outcomes. ■ PHYSICS YOU CAN FEEL Ball-to-ball collisions, cushion angles, rolling friction, and spin are all simulated rather than approximated. Projected aim lines show your line before you commit, so a missed shot is a misread — not a mystery. ■ AN OPPONENT WORTH BEATING Four AI difficulties, from a forgiving Easy to a top tier that punishes every opening you leave. It plans genuine shots — weighing angles and rolling out candidates before it strikes — instead of cheating with perfect aim. ■ TEN TABLES TO CONQUER Climb from the 50-coin table to the 15,000,000-coin high-roller room. You call your pocket on the 8 at every table, and each tier tightens the rules from there: call every shot, then take on the top tables with the aim lines switched off entirely. Every table shows its stake and its prize before you play. ■ PLAY ON YOUR OWN TERMS Every mode runs offline — break, run a table, or take on the AI with no connection needed. Hand the device to a friend for pass-and-play whenever you want. ■ MADE FOR APPLE PLATFORMS Built from scratch for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Your coins and cues follow you between them over iCloud, so you can break on the Mac and finish on the iPhone. Precision haptics on every break and pot, full VoiceOver support, and Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency respected throughout. ■ YOUR PROGRESS, YOURS ALONE No tracking, no accounts, and no third-party analytics. Your save lives on your device and in your own private iCloud storage — never on a server of ours. Rack them up.
