8 Ball Hero - Pool Billiards Puzzle Game

Familiar concept to anyone who has played the other "Hero" games, this time, taking up the mantle of a professional 8-Ball player. So far, none of the levels or challenges therein are overly difficult and progression is as expected. I dropped one star from the controls section for lack of a sensitivity setting for aiming but it's not broken. If you like Score Hero and are a pool fan, definitely check this one out!

This game is great, excellent graphics, nice tables, at the beginning you will enjoy playing it a lot, yet it is stingy game, when you reach harder levels you can't win without the assistance options, those options needs money, how to make money? You either watch 30 to 40 ads each ad 30 seconds, or pay real money for some, you will spend 15 minutes to finish a small game, 14 of them are ads. Other than that there is stars for each win, from 1 to 3, to win them you have to achieve 3 challenges,

Needs to have a way to adjust sensitivity. Also, I have been playing billiards for 30+ years and never have I heard of a loss when you pocket an opponent's ball. Some levels are nearly impossible to beat with out flukes. I want to see my opponent get out of some of these situations. Been waiting for almost 2 months for the next level to be there. You have until Memorial day to update it or I will delete.

Unfortunately it's not possible to aim precisely, touching the screen sometimes moves too much, that ruins a great game. I had to hit the cushion to hit the ball indirectly. Impossible to move in a smooth way. You should look at some of your competitors, they use a very good way to aim precisely. Uninstalling, pity I was ready to give you 5 stars.

If you're looking for a solid looking pool game that also plays well, unfortunately this won't be it. I played almost all the way through season 1 and it's basically a pool game with a puzzle-like attitude. You get fast forwarded to the last few shots of the match and you have to finish it out. Not sure when it gets difficult, but I got perfect everytime, first try...so I don't know. Don't get me wrong though, this is a decent game, just not for someone like me.

one of the coolest ideas and smoothness of a pool game that I've played, and I know that it just got released but im hoping that you guys add more content and maybe some sort of multiplayer and different game modes plus maybe full matches? and can you guys add a touch control where you can tap anywhere on the screen and the guide line would go there instead of swiping continuously also add a sensitivity control. thanks for this master piece I hope you keep it up.

There are NO opponents, this game is only practice. Such a shame because the premise is really awesome. You can design your own logo, name, appearance and country of origin. There are objectives you have to meet to get ALL the stars BUT you only get to know what the objectives are AFTER you play the round, then you have to repeat the round in order to get the max points.

Finished all 320 levels with 3 stars each level. Restarted from scratch twice already while waiting for new levels but no word yet when more levels will be coming. Been waiting for 2 years already. It's a shame as this game has the most accurate physics and game play of any mobile billiards game. First Touch Games, please continue development on 8Ball Hero. Will be willing to pay for more levels. And maybe more customization, like the ability to add your own levels and play against friends.

Simply superb just like their other games. I can't wait for the premise of this game having multiplayer. This game just captures the aesthetic of what pro pool is all about. Realism is on point, and the power-ups are a great touch of arcade feel. Although the storylines are not as deep as in Score Hero, this is the best pool game I have ever played. Hands down. The best.

(Update: i went from 5 stars to 2 stars as there hasnt been more levels added past 320 for a long time im now considering uninstalling as i cannot progress any more) When is the update I've finished all 320 levels. Really enjoyed it

Worthless. Dont waste your time. This is not a true game of pool. It starts you 3/4s of the way into the game. When you hit the cue ball, it goes into a slow motion mode. When you get to a certain level, it forces you to spend money to continue with the game. There is no challenge with this game. As soon as I submit this rating, I am deleting the app. There are many other pool apps that are MUCH better than 8 Ball Hero.

Great time passing game (that i seem to have become slightly addicted too) would be made better if you could play friends that are logged in at the same time as you. Also maybe reward excellent shots/break building by giving the option of superior cues, chalks and also the option of using a rest for the full length table shots (which would be realistic in real life) other than those few very minor comments it is WELL WORTH A DOWNLOAD. OVERALL GOOD APP.

I use to love the game. The recent update is so poor. Every level is the same for the next 2 seasons. Open table, break off from the middle, pot the balls in number order and 3 clean shots. That's it. What a terrible update and programming.

Instead of just having pool scenarios to play, it would also be nice if we can play 300+ computer AI opponents in career mode with a solo and team tournaments. Players can play in some 100 events (4 of them majors , and one of them an end-year championship where the top 8 see who can take the cup). The set-up of this career mode can be designed like Friday Night Pool 3D (PC). The user's interface is simple to Android but still can add a lot of touch to the game with year-end rank & race also.

Great Pool game with easy to use controls and a good progression system. Also you are not required to sit through countless ads unless you want more bucks of course.

There are options to control graphics quality, but the game goes into two-frames-per-second mode after a ball is potted and a flash of light comes out of the pocket regardless of any settings. Please remove or optimise (50 times) these bells and whistles: they add nothing of value, only make the game unplayable on older phones.

An interesting pool game with a progress system similar to the football game however with a whole lot fairer gameplay. The only issues I have are the forced "5 second" ads between levels and not knowing the objectives till after you complete a level. You could spend ages trying to complete a level only to get one star because you didn't pot in the right holes. But a good game for pool and snooker fans.

Somebody dissed my tetris and took her out of store so I looked around and found this after a very thorough search. You guys came thru on the graphics and touch aiming system, appreciate the option to gently let go of your pool stick without tapping the cue ball if you accidentally swipe or pull it back for sure. The ESPN pro atmosphere is a pretty nice touch to but I still have yet to play a full game. Could be an extended tutorial thing but we'll see. Met my goal for one handed gameplay tho!

As a pool League Player this game is honestly nearly perfect! the only downside i have or rather request is that you get to see the challenges of a round before you end the match... there are normally 3 challenges in a round and you only see them AFTER you have finished the match, have an option to see them BEFORE so we can go into a match knowing what to do. Other than that this game is stunning and awesome!

This is without a doubt, the best billiards game ive ever played. Its fun, full of challenges that test yer skill, while developing it. And best of all; no human opponents to shame you when you make a mistake. Its encouraging and helpful, and it teaches you how to make different shots, cleaner shots, while helping you develop a solid skill base. And whats also cool; is that it rewards good playing with power boosters and unstoppable skill shots. When yer done here, you'll be a pro playing hero.

Would have been 5* but, the game crashed yesterday and now the ballpath is set to a tiny length. I have tried reinstalling. Otherwise a great game and challenging at times.

I love this game, but how much season to end it? And would be great if you add a gear icon in bottom of screen to slowly aiming, so we can easily making shot. [Edit] I'm complete play all level (320 levels). I'm not found any game offline like this, have story and have quest in each levels.

Excellent single player pool challenge. Ads optional for extra cash. The reduction in guide length has made the game more challenging adding completion longevity.

The graphics and music are excellent. The word ‘shame' has been used in the application which is not an appropriate language and considered as a language below the formal status. The body language of the player that loses the match is also not appropriate. Games are played for enjoyment, sharper state of mind,proper use of time etc.. Games should have no link with shame. Also, some levels of game do not show the target to win the match before it is played.

at first I thought this will be just another 8 ball poll, but not. With aim guide is kinda not fair for some, but it does help me understand how to use the spin irl. But, the game dev should have the requirement how to get 3 stars BEFORE we play the level, not after the finishing it, so I dont have to play it twice. Anyway, this game teach me how to 'One Cue' otherwise you lose, nice one.

I like the stragedic side of it, you get to learn some tricks that you can apply to an actual game of pool but I would prefer if you could also play a straight game in this app rather than just figuring out the puzzles they give you, however it's still downloading as it does have some entertainment value.

Ok in the early stages...later games the ball doesn't follow the highlighted path and the cue ball almost always hides behind anothe ball. If you're shooting stripes and your ball goes in plus a solid it's game over. Later stages the correct shot doesn't count...it's like the game is mad because you made the hard shot....dumped it ...if you're good it won't let you win!!!

Not sure what the point of this game is? If the game shows you where the ball will go where does the 'hero' part start? And 20 levels of learning before you can play others? Likely good if you've never heard of pool before or picked up a stick, but even then would tire of it before the training was over

Game is good. Before starting a level, no option to see what tasks I need to complete till after I sink all balls. Then I know what I need to do, and need to replay level. Fix this please, give me order/type of task before starting level
