Pool 8

Pool 8 takes the look of a billiards table and turns it into a turn-based puzzle. The aim is to sink all the balls into the pockets, but not in any order you like: they have to go down in the correct sequence. That one rule changes everything about how you read the table.

Movement is step by step. The challenge is less about judging power and spin, as you would in a real game of pool, and more about planning each move as part of a sequence and thinking about what the table will look like afterwards. A ball that is easy to pot now may be the wrong ball, and a clear route for the next one may only exist if you deal with something else first.

The levels get progressively harder, so early tables teach how the movement system works and later ones demand real strategy. The description calls it a twist on classic pool, and that is a fair summary: the setting is familiar, but the satisfaction comes from solving the order.

1. Look at the table and work out the order the balls must go in.
2. Plan the first move with the next ones in mind.
3. Sink each ball into a pocket in the correct order.
4. Clear the whole table to finish the level.

Plan backwards from the last ball. Knowing where the final shot has to come from tells you which earlier moves keep that route open.
