Pros and cons of Killer Pool app for iPhone and iPad
Killer Pool app good for
But I wonder what is the difference between original and realistic style. Cannot really the difference. I would like to have an option for less fancy control buttons too. Keep up the good work.
very good, realistic, easy to learn & reasonably priced...
thanks, its a relaxing game to play...
First of all - props for making a "lite" version, all app makers should HAVE to do this!!! How else would we know if we will like it or not? Anyways onto the review:
Of all the pool lite versions, this is the best because it is very intuitive, accurate and realistic, with precise controls without overcomplicating it like some of the other apps. Multiple players with championship tournaments, multiple game versions ie.(8 ball, 9 ball, black ball...) with rules, no stupid story lines with charcters??? Why do they even bother with that crap? We just want to play pool!! The best feature is the "fine tune" slider - in the other apps I found it hard to fine tune shots. Also has a "spin" feature.... Just one thing I would like to see updated is when in the "Top View" have the ability to zoom down close to the table so we can see and line up the shots better.. Thanks for this app - i love pool :-)
This is a great game. Very realistic looking with great physics. However, could you please implement an angle of deflection element when the path line is active? Id really like to have a preview of the target balls path. Thanks.
Ive tried almost every lite version of pool in the app store and this is by far the best. After one game i bought the full version & I love it! Highly reccommended. The only room I see for improvement is to loosen the friction of the balls as they slow down much too soon; almost like rolling thru a thin film of water. A trajectory guideline would be nice too. Fix that & youll have reached the apex of perfection!
今まで色んなビリヤードゲームを試したが、これが一番実践に近い感覚で出来るゲームだと思います！
Full versionではResume機能もあって途中で辞めることができるし、操作性もグラフィックも申し分なし！
欲を言えば、対戦成績を記録する機能とランドスケープをオン／オフできるようにしてもらえるとmore good!ですね。
Please add the function to record the result and turn off the landscape!
Some bad moments
I thought this was supposed to have "updated graphics for Retina display". The icon got updated, but the game itself looks like crap. The overhead view is weirdly compressed (wrong aspect ratio), and the screen is still cluttered with overly fancy UI graphics (does every single button really need swirly decorations?). The physics feel awful and the view is cramped.
This game is ugly and not fun. Pity…I was looking for a replacement for Virtual Pool, which was apparently never updated for Retina displays, but this definitely isnt it. Still searching for a good 3D pool game that isnt terribly outdated or just plain bad.
The table looks too smooth, balls stop too quickly, all the controls have odd graphics, limited viewing options, no ghost ball, cumbersome controls. Even with all that, it still plays OK. Killer Pool contains a nice variety of good games. If your into the various pool apps, you should have this in your collection. Besides, even if you dont play it often, you can still look forward to getting an update. And dont we all love seeing what updates have been released today....
Unhappy with the speed at which the balls slow down. Not realistic. Aiming not clear. A better game is Virtual Pool on terms of realism. Wish they had online play.
I love the interface, and the graphics are great, but the ball slow down really kills the gameplay to a point its not worth playing.
Total junk do not buy is app. I think Sauce Digital should own up and give everyone there money back if they downloaded this. Thanks for a crappy game.
The controlls are cumbersome. Game is buggy. Virtual Pool Online is more fun and more realistic in my opinion.
I had high hopes from reading App Advice Daily, but I dont think they are hardcore pool players. I was dissapointed with this game.
