Killer Pool, The Best Billiards Game for iPhone
- 19 de dezembro de 2008
I spent a good time testing billiards games on iPhone and always ended up running into the same problem: weird physics or controls that hinder more than help. Killer Pool escapes this. It gets the basics right. The table has a nice look, balls move as we expect and the shot responds precisely to touch.
The camera helps align the play without fighting the interface and the aim gives good feedback on direction and force. After a few minutes you can forget the control and think about the game, which is the best compliment an app like this can receive. To vary the pace, you can choose between 8‑Ball, 9‑Ball, Straight Pool and a training mode that helps when the idea is just to relax and practice.
What won me over the most was consistency. There are no exaggerated effects or tricks to seem more than it is. It’s an honest billiards simulator on mobile, with convincing physics and stable performance. If you enjoy the sport and want something to play during short breaks, this is the title I would install first.
