Play Overview
Pocket Run Pool (2019) is a sports 8-ball pool game where you chase high scores by hitting balls in the pockets with the highest multipliers. Play is like a normal game of pool, where you have to sink all the balls, but here it's most important to plan ahead which ball goes in which pocket.
It's a game of pool, but each of the pockets has a different score multiplier. Each time you sink a ball the multipliers move around the pockets. This means to get a high score you need to plan ahead not only for your cue ball position but to be in the right place with high-value balls near high multiplier pockets.
Each time you don't pot a ball you lose a life, and if you run out before you finish the table it's game over. You can compete against yourself, the world, or the bank in a variety of game modes.
The result is a game unlike the many other pool games available. It's a single-player pool challenge where you compete against yourself rather than a computer player.
