Very good game
Fri Sep 15 2023 yo-3812Very good game, no forced ads. Watch ads if you want to but you can play as long as you want and not see any if you choose. There are offers that cost money but, again play as much as you want and don’t spend any money at all unless you want what is offered. The game play is good. You usually play against other players so the game play is challenging and isn’t static. If I sound like a fan, I really am. The initial screen isn’t obvious as far as play options go but it doesn’t take much time to figure out. Then it’s pure joy playing opponent after opponent. The other players seem friendly. Sometimes it’s apparent you’re playing against the computer, though. Game play is similar although the computer seems to miss a few more shots than a skilled opponent would, but it generally plays very well. Later… it seems to have trouble maintaining a connection to the server. It is frustrating to be lining up the final shot for a win then getting the attempted reconnection arrow. Time ticks down then it’s the opponents turn. He wins. It happens a lot. Opponents also have trouble maintaining the connection. It’s a good game, a favorite. If you want to contact support, you must do it through Facebook. If you don’t use Facebook, you’re on your own.
My favorite game
Tue Jan 31 2023 LoDmEeI love this game. I have missed playing pool. This has given that back to me. The game in general is good. The way it is set up you have opportunity to play with others and against yourself with many different challenges. It helps you get better. The only thing I don't like is so much is pay to play. I can't afford that so I am held back. My game often freezes up and when that happens your opponent often wins automatically. The slide of how hard to hit the ball gets in the way often so its almost like having the challenge of a wall in your way on the right side. It would make the game much better if you were able to move that for certain shots. Also I often time out when trying to select the right angle. Another 5 seconds would be greatly appreciated. I do understand why its timed though. I just typically finally get the right spot and it times me out before I can actually shoot so a couple more seconds and I would get the shot in. It just creates more of a challenge which can be good just irritating for now. Still good game. Love it. Addicted to it. I was actually sad and glad I got locked out for a week. I needed a break.
Good game, but designed for pay-to-play
Mon Dec 12 2022 kkevorkovI like the game overall. It’s fun to play and offers many additional challenges like polygonal tables, so you can practice your skills and earn additional “currency” if you do well. I especially like the Daily Challenge and the Journey that lets you earn journey coins to exchange for wildcards to then exchange for items needed to upgrade your cues.
However, what I don’t like is that the game is designed to give a significant advantage to players that purchase a weekly gold pass or other offers. There are tiers that you can climb, but they don’t reflect the skill of the player. They reflect how much you spent in the game. I was able to advance to the Master division without buying the gold pass, but it’s getting nearly impossible to get further without the gold pass. The new Kingdom mode is even worse. It’s designed to require you to purchase to progress to the next level.
So, my suggestion to Playorca is to design the game that allows skilled players to get promoted. It’s ok to give some advantage to people who are willing to pay, but if you can’t get to the top without paying then good skilled players will abandon your game and go elsewhere. Your leaderboards are not reflecting skill at all. They are only reflecting how much someone paid you.
It's ok. Could be a lot better
Thu Aug 11 2022 Rubee DeeLike other reviews, the accumulation of cards and pieces makes no sense. If the game asks me to use a wildcard, I just do it as I have no idea how it works. The coin / gem system is lame. Everything costs something. For example in challenges I win one of three games and in order to claim the prize I need to pay 100 gems. That's not a prize but a purchase. Why would I purchase 2000 coins for 100 gems. It takes ages to accumulate gems. Currently there is an award for obtaining 300 gems. That will take quite some time to complete. Im only getting a wild card. The wheel spin is another farce. You can eventually get the 200 gems if you spend 12,000 or more coins to spin. Don't tell me sink 20 more balls for a spin but then that spin costs more coins. The reward playing this game is almost non existent. If my reward is to tap my way to early arthritis then this game does that. Pop ups to purchase are annoying and the are you sure prompt (another click) is equally as annoying. If I clicked No or close, that's what I meant. I'm not changing my mind. I may just find another pool game that keeps it simple. Like I said, it's ok but it could be A LOT better. Hope you guys take these comments and make changes that make you want to play the game. I could go on but I'm annoyed now just writing this.
Most fun I’ve had playing a game
Thu Jan 09 2025 Str8shooter2020I started playing this game about 2 weeks ago. I have a lot of fun playing with new players like me that don’t have much experience playing in pool. I give a lot of games away to new players because that’s the only way they can learn is to play. I’m in my 60’s and in years past would frown on game play like this. Well I was wrong. There is a lot to be learned from this game. It looks easy to start with. Then you get schooled by one of those players that’s been here a while. I’m eating my share of humble pie 🥧! But there’s really courteous players here. Who will cut up with you with the emoji’s and chat. And yes I have spent a few bucks here. Not much. But, the management is steady upgrading the site from what I’ve seen in the little time I’ve been here. So I’m guessing they deserve a big old thanks for keeping a great game going. That said, I’ve never been a game player. I’ve worked hard all my life. Now I’ve got heart disease. And gotten old, So I take it easy. And love the challenge here playing thumb pool .. 😜, it’s really a lot of fun. So jump in and you will see . Eat so humble pie along with me. ✌️😂
Starts off good but gets crummy.
Tue Apr 25 2023 Mikedub84At first the game is fun, the play is nice and pretty much unlimited, the music is repetitive but calming, and graphics and sensory vibrations are well done. although there's too many side quests and mini games... but after a couple weeks it gets frustrating.
You start getting less and less starting breaks (instead of 50/50, you get about 1/10), and a lot of players break and run, so it's a huge disadvantage. The bots are obnoxious and slow down the game a lot. You can recognize them by a very deliberate step motion around the table until they find a ball, almost like the hand of a clock. You'll also start getting many more misses and scratches that are hard to explain. if you're trying to figure out why, the reason is the directional arrows become skewed or misrepresented. I was getting a little irritated, so I tested this theory with a straight edge of a business card. I would line up the shot perfectly, but the ball would go slightly left or right of the intended direction unpredictably. I'm assuming this happens if you don't spend money on the game, but it's definitely shady. It's not just the target ball, the cue ball will carry a different direction than the line shows as well, and then roll way longer than it should, right into a pocket in a way that makes zero sense.
Rigging the game isn't going to make me spend money on it, I'll just delete it off my phone.
Great game…obnoxious players
Sat May 20 2023 PortersternI love this game. It’s a regular go to for me if I’ve time to kill. It deserves five stars, but I’m giving it four as a warning to future players. Some of the people who play this game think it’s cute to drag out their shots by moving the cue stick back and forth like they’re some kind of 1940s radar operator, slowly zeroing in on their target. Once or twice, sure, but on every shot?! Similarly, even though you can simply tap the screen to quickly point the cue at a different part of the table, the new time-wasting game seems to be, instead of shifting one’s aim a few degrees left, they use the cue to rotate their aim the other direction, usually really close to a full 360°. It’s a slow, unnecessary act, and seems to be growing in frequency and popularity with some players. This kind of behavior drags out the game, and kills a lot of the fun. Given you’ve got a about a 60 second shot clock eat shot, you can end up sitting there for almost eight minutes while people inconsiderately waste your time. I’m not proposing people rush through their shots. Take all the time you need. But, don’t take more time than you need. We’re both here to have fun, so let’s be considerate of each other, please.
Rules
Tue Dec 27 2022 good ulllThis, this is a great pool game, but have a few questions. First it has different pool game rules for instants. Once a person breaks if a ball goes in that’s the seed you get, in this game you have to pocket at least 2 to 3 balls and that still doesn’t give you the suit you thought you got. The second thing is our question is the aiming rods aren’t consistent and hitting the ball and where it goes sometimes it goes in the pocket and the player does the saying hitting aiming the same way in the ball still does not go in. Two mini awards and you do not tell us what we can do with all these awards and the shapes that we get to choose from. Doesn’t explain how we can use all the points that we have one. One WONE the next or the point system thing is you have won. Does it ever get to the point where I can increase numbers that you give me such as going from five to level six and you pool stick explanations? It’s impossible to go to the next level up other than that it’s a great game if you like playing pool and don’t worry about the awards and the point system. Please inform the thousands of people who play this game and I have befriended no at the beginning of opening up the game. How does certain works?.
Too flashy & paywalls to advance
Mon Jan 27 2025 Mayem SnyphFirst I don’t like the timer. I have hand issues so I can’t get the shot lined up in time before the timer starts warning me forcing me to lose my turn. 5 seconds more would not hurt. Maybe have handicap settings for this. The timer should not be running if you’re choosing a chalk, I couldn’t tell which chalks I could get without buying and lost a turn trying to go through the ones there. You could post a notice to the other person that player is choosing a chalk. But the timer should not be running. Secondly it’s almost too flashy: I have no idea what all the chest things are for, you get gems, coins, tickets, cards, butterflies, stars, pickaxes (never heard of these in pool), too many claim or buy rewards, chests,…it’s all very overwhelming. I feel like I was forced to buy something to play too. I might look for another game that isn’t so pay to play. EDIT: THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO REPORT A PLAYER.. I just had a 9 ball challenge game that the person barely took their turn constantly let their timer run out. I didn’t do so good on that weird table so of course it came down to the last ball which they suddenly woke up and sunk the last ball and took credit for the whole game.🤬🤬🤬🤬
Cheat cheat Hooray!
Mon Sep 29 2025 Otis00001The developers behind this game have created an experience that is both engaging and frustrating. Their approach to gameplay can sometimes feel skewed, and attentive players may notice the inconsistencies right away. I initially joined the game for its entertainment value and even supported it through purchases, believing it to be a fair exchange. However, I’ve come to realize that many of my matches seem to be against players who are less than honest, subtly manipulating the game in ways that detract from the fun. While I strive to play my best, it often feels as though the odds are stacked against me, with my opponents rarely facing the same challenges. It’s disheartening to see my win percentage not reflect my actual skill level, as the game mechanics seem to favor some while penalizing others. I encourage potential players to explore these dynamics for themselves and consider the overall experience before diving in. Be advised in advance you’ll witness cheating, manipulation of trajectories and scratches done purposely to steal wins. F* the developers who enable the cheating.
You know that your game is cheating, stop playing clueless! Just look at all the reviews cheating is mentioned. I am going to see how you’ll deny cheating once I start recording the matches with a second device and exposing you in every social media outlet.
