Description
The return of arcade pool from the creator of Really Bad Chess and Flipflop Solitaire.
Pocket-Run Pool combines 8-ball pool with the thrill of a chasing the perfect highscore.
In Pocket-Run, your goal is to sink all the balls, but where and when you sink them is what matters most!
With each pocketed ball, you're awarded points based on the pocket you sunk. 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.
Compete against yourself, the world, or the bank in a variety of thrilling game modes!
Can you make the perfect pocket-run?
Arcade pool is back!

------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
I've always loved pool, and when I got my first iPhone years ago, the world of digital pool games opened up to me.
There are certainly a lot of options out there, but finding a simple and enjoyable single-player pool game was harder than I expected. I found one that I enjoyed, but after playing it extensively I found it too easy to beat the computer every time. 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.
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.
Pocket-Run Pool is the game I came up with, I hope you enjoy it!

Ratings and Reviews
Still get ads in Paid version
When I bought the Paid / unlocked version it claimed there were no ads. I still get 30 second forced video ads - just not as often.
Love the game
Really fun game. Finally a pool game single player offline with a nice twist!! All Zach Gage games are worth it, really. Keep it up Zach!
Fun game!
Great time-killer and the graphics look great! The different modes are really fun, and I hope to see some more in the future. My only complaint would be that ads show up at awkward times, like at the beginning of the 2:45 challenge, where the time spent watching the ad is taken away from my 2:45. There should also be some kind of daily cash amount so that players that wager too much (like me) get a chance to get back on their feet. Also, right now the standard run where you’re just playing against yourself seems a little pointless. I would love a practice mode where you can practice with the different challenges found in the high-stakes game. Other than those suggestions, it’s an awesome pool game worth checking out.
