MINI POOL is billiards distilled to a single, perfect moment: one shot, one pocket, no second chances. Each level hands you the cue ball, a target ball, and a pocket. Drag back, aim, and release — sink it and you move on. Miss, and the run is over. Simple to learn, brutally satisfying to master. THE TABLE KEEPS CHANGING • Classic rectangles give way to triangles, diamonds, pentagons, hexagons and octagons • Obstacle balls block your line — find the angle around them • Some tables have open edges with no rails: overshoot and your ball is gone • Every playthrough is generated fresh, so no two runs are ever the same REAL POOL FEEL • True physics: cushions rebound, jaws rattle, balls drop into a real hanging net • Tournament-style tables with leather-wrapped pockets and cloth in eight colors • Smooth orbit camera — line up your shot from any angle CLIMB AND COLLECT • Earn diamonds with every cleared level • Unlock a collection of cues, from the trusty Maple Classic to glowing premium builds with real extra power • Compete on Game Center leaderboards: highest level and total pockets EASY TO PICK UP • A full run takes minutes — perfect for a quick break • Plays fully offline • Relaxing original soundtrack, a different tune every time you open the game One shot. One pocket. No mercy. How far can you go?
