The fantastic Pocket Run Pool (Free) is getting a huge update tomorrow. Zach Gage just announced that it will hit version 2.0 with a whole lot of new content and bug fixes. If you missed it, we love Pocket-Run Pool and featured it as Game of the Week when it released. If you’ve ever wanted to play Pool but with a lovely modern aesthetic as you hunt down a new high score, this is the game for you. I’m a big fan of games that make good use of haptic feedback like this one does. Watch the original trailer for it below:
Your aim here has never been to just get balls into the pockets. Each pocket has a multiplier and your aim is to get a highscore while competing against others or even yourself. You play from a top down perspective with a very intuitive control scheme. Pocket-Run Pool isn’t about realistic visuals or simulation but more of an arcade experience with visuals that are worth praising every chance I can.
The 2.0 update that is releasing tomorrow adds two new betting tiers and five new conditions that include a Super Ball, Poison Balls, explosive Pockets, and more. I was already sold on the game when I saw the lovely screenshots and I’m glad that the update will be adding 10 new backgrounds and improve the menu a bit. There will also be 6 unlockable cuesticks. Here’s our forum thread with more discussion around the game.
