Rack them up, chalk your cue, and break โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” just you against a computer opponent that plays a clean, believable game. CUE COACH โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
