Gameplay is characterized by smooth mechanics and sophisticated physics, but players express frustration with the AI's overwhelming advantage, making matches feel unbalanced and often decided in just a few moves. While the mechanics are well-executed, the experience can be significantly hindered by the AI's performance, particularly in single-player mode.
- “Highly sophisticated physics and good mechanics.”
- “Good mechanics.”
- “Nice and smooth gameplay.”
- “Every time you click on anything (settings, back, gameplay, etc.) and if you're downloading to play in single player, don't waste your time.”
- “The AI completely ruins the experience, unfortunately. It is rather difficult not because of the mechanics, but because the computer has a huge upper hand. It can pot up to 4 balls the second after you break, and every game (unless you're super good at the game; I'd say I'm pretty okay on other pool apps) is won or lost in under 5 moves.”
