  • The game is addictive and provides opportunities to earn coins and rewards through various mini-games and daily spins, keeping players engaged.
  • Many players experience frequent crashes and connectivity issues, leading to frustration and loss of progress or coins during matches.
  • The game has been criticized for its in-app purchase model, where players feel pressured to spend real money to remain competitive or to enjoy the game fully.
  • Some players report unfair gameplay mechanics, such as opponents benefiting from glitches or the game favoring careless players, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.
  • stability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is frequently criticized due to persistent glitches and bugs that can lead to lost games and in-game currency. Users report issues with connectivity and server performance, particularly when switching between different platforms, which can disrupt gameplay. While some players have not experienced significant problems, the overall consensus indicates that stability is a major concern that detracts from the gaming experience.

    • “Fun and engaging, with no glitches or bug problems thus far.”
    • “I've lost many games, lots of money, and my stats have suffered because of these glitches.”
    • “The biggest flaw is that the server is slow and buggy.”
    • “Other glitches are games randomly saying you're not connected, which by the time you reconnect makes you miss your turn, usually at horrible moments.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are consistently praised for their vibrancy and realism, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Players appreciate the outstanding in-game physics that accurately simulate the behavior of pool balls, contributing to the game's addictive nature. However, some users have reported issues with game stability, including crashes that affect their progress and purchases.

    • “The graphics are wonderful, and the in-game physics are outstanding.”
    • “This game has vibrant, wonderfully pleasing graphics and smooth gameplay, limited only by the strength of your and your opponent's wifi connections.”
    • “A very addictive game with great graphics.”
    • “The graphics and realistic flow of the game bring excitement to you once you start playing; unfortunately, I have been cheated out of unknown amounts of chests, numerous winnings of games and statistics, and even monetary value when I have spent money to try to advance or purchase items advertised in the game once the game shuts down, without notice or any accidental touches from me.”
  • monetization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive reliance on in-app purchases, which users find frustrating and problematic, often encountering errors when attempting to make purchases. Many players feel that the game prioritizes profit over user experience, leading to a negative perception of its value, especially given the intrusive ads and technical issues. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a money pit that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “Only negative opinion would have to be the revamped spinner/scratchers...kinda whack now (understatement)...everything must revolve around in-game purchase revenue on mobile games, yeah I get it but come on it's taken a turn for the worst on this game...just saying, if you let them, they will clean you out faster than ever and you'll probably have nothing to show for afterward.”
    • “What developer doesn't want to take your money and won't allow in-app purchases??”
    • “You have to buy your vocabulary from the app with in-app purchases.”
    • “It's basically the developers' money pit for those who can make in-app purchases and like to blow money on online games.”
    • “Everything must revolve around in-game purchase revenue on mobile games; yeah, I get it, but come on, it's taken a turn for the worst on this game.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is highly praised for its vibrant graphics and smooth mechanics, earning a strong rating of 5. However, it is noted that performance can be affected by the quality of the players' internet connections, and while there is a diverse selection of cues and numerous achievements, some significant issues remain.

    • “This game has vibrant, wonderfully pleasing graphics and smooth gameplay, limited only by the strength of your and your opponent's Wi-Fi connections, a wide selection of cues for each level range, and plenty of achievements that make you want to push yourself to obtain.”
    • “Gameplay is a 5, there is no doubt about it, but there are some glaring issues.”
    • “The controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
    • “The pacing is off, leading to moments of boredom that detract from the overall experience.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is not heavily emphasized, as users focus more on the enjoyable gameplay and challenging missions. The narrative seems to be secondary to the fun and engaging experience of playing the pool game. Overall, players appreciate the entertainment value rather than a deep storyline.

    • “I vowed that I would never spend money on an internet game, but this one was so much fun and I enjoyed it, and you know the rest of the story.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game is limited, as players are unable to listen to their own music while playing, which some find frustrating. Despite this issue, the overall enjoyment of the game remains high for many users.

    • “I love pool and I love this game, but every time I go to play, it kicks me out. 1 out of every 5-10 times I retry, it will let me play, but there's no update or anything I can do. It's kind of annoying, and it won't let me listen to music while I play. Besides that, I recommend it.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that leveling up in the game requires a significant time investment, and while the game successfully avoids a "pay to win" model, the slow progression can lead to a tedious experience.

    • “It takes a long time to level up, even if you spend money on the best cues for your level. While the game avoids the potential 'pay to win' issue of the free-to-play model, it can become tedious when you feel like you're not making much progress.”
    • “The grinding in this game is relentless; it feels like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of achievement.”
    • “I find the grinding aspect to be overly repetitive and draining, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
