Pocket Run Pool for Android

9 things about Pocket Run Pool

1. It dawned on me that if I wanted a good single player pool game, I'd have to make a new kind of pool — a variant that doesn't need a computer opponent, that's built around the notion of scoring and improving, of taking risks, and of presenting unique and interesting challenges.

2. Suddenly the problem with pool hit me — when you play against a computer in a physics simulation, you're literally playing against a god... By which I mean, either the computer is going easy on you (for a reason), or it's playing a perfect game and taking all your money.

3. There are certainly a lot of options out there, but finding a simple and enjoyable single-player pool game was harder than I expected.

4. Pocket-Run Pool combines 8-ball pool with the thrill of a chasing the perfect highscore.

5. I've always loved pool, and when I got my first iPhone years ago, the world of digital pool games opened up to me.

6. The return of arcade pool from the creator of Really Bad Chess and Flipflop Solitaire.

7. I found one that I enjoyed, but after playing it extensively I found it too easy to beat the computer every time.

8. So sink carefully, but watch out, with each miss or scratch you lose a life — run out before you finish the table and it's game over.

9. With each pocketed ball, you're awarded points based on the pocket you sunk.
