About the Game

Before you buy!

Just Pool was made with the intent to be a scaled-down version of traditional pool/billiards games. This means that many of the common features available in those games are NOT available in Just Pool and some might get added in the future, for example:

  • Special shots (curved, "English", "Swerve", Jump shots etc.);

  • Other game modes like 9-ball or Snooker;

  • Career mode;

  • Global matchmaking.

In short, this game is for those that enjoy a casual, more laid-back style game of pool. Open the game, start a match, shoot some balls, maybe invite a friend and enjoy a simple match.

Also, the user experience was designed to avoid the most common pitfalls of other games in this genre: paywalls, confusing UI, pay-to-win, micro-transactions or over-complicated game mechanics.

Features

  • Click-and-drag the mouse cursor to shoot the cue-ball;

  • Try to score all the balls on either one of the 6 the holes;

  • Win by scoring all balls in your group;

  • Single-player and Multi-player.

Content

  • Simulated pool table/ball physics;

  • Cartoon-ish models and textures;

  • Steam integration (friends list & invites);

  • Cell-shading.

A message from the creator:

This game was made by myself as a solo indie developer. This is my first commercial game and I hope you enjoy it. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome :)
