About this 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.

CPU Opponent is now available!
After many players requested this feature, I've decided to add it to the game. Thanks to everyone that supported the game and for the feedbacks and suggestions!A few more things were also added to the game:Added visual markers to the table;Added a highlight to each player's profile picture to better indicate who's turn it is;Changed main menu's social icons.There's definitely some bugs to fix, especially tweaking the CPU difficulty, but I'd figured you guys would like to try it out :)Note: some players were experiencing an issue where despite pulling back the cue to the maximum amount, the shot was at the smallest force possible. This is due to an issue with the VSYNC being turned off, please keep it ON while I fix the issue.Read full article on Community Announcements (Mana Potion)AnnouncementsOfficial
