Detailed Review

Pool Masters - 8 Ball Pool by Eyeball Games presents a mobile billiards simulation that merges traditional 8-ball mechanics with limited-time licensed content from the Jurassic World franchise. The application occupies a competitive space in iOS gaming, distinguishing itself through seasonal collaborations and collectible virtual items while maintaining core pool gameplay mechanics. The application's core functionality revolves around realistic ball physics and multiplayer matchmaking, supplemented by the current Jurassic World event featuring five dinosaur-inspired cues. Players engage in tournament-style matches using a card-based progression system where gaming cards can be leveled up to enhance in-game abilities. The limited-time collaboration introduces thematic visual effects and exclusive collectibles, creating urgency for completionist players. Matches follow standard 8-ball rules with both single-player and online multiplayer modes available. User experience centers on touch-based cue controls with adjustable power and spin mechanics through intuitive swipe gestures. The interface employs a clean, dark-themed design that emphasizes the playing surface while keeping menu navigation accessible. Real-world usage patterns show players typically engaging in short sessions of 3-5 minute matches, with longer play sessions occurring during tournament events. The visual presentation receives consistent praise for high-quality table textures and realistic lighting effects that enhance immersion. User feedback reveals polarized experiences regarding matchmaking and AI opponents. Positive reviews from users like William_smth (2025-05-29) highlight smooth gameplay and visual quality, while garbito game29 (2025-07-01) reports frustration with perceived unfair bot opponents in multiplayer matches. Multiple reviewers including RivaDena (2025-05-27) note occasional physics inconsistencies in ball movement and foul detection. The card-based progression system receives positive mention from georgefassett (2025-05-27) as an innovative approach to skill development. The application demonstrates strengths in visual presentation and licensed content integration, though suffers from matchmaking inconsistencies and occasional physics irregularities. Ideal use cases include casual players seeking quick pool matches with collectible elements, while competitive players may find the AI opponent balancing problematic. The limited-time Jurassic World content provides temporary engagement boosts but doesn't address core gameplay concerns raised by some users.

There are some issues with mechanics for lack of a better word. Sometimes it seems like ball in hand other times not, just a little inconsistency but it could be me. they’ve done a great job and I look forward to their next release. Graphics are great. Generally follows the typical pool apps just with a few mechanical things with the stick that seem glitchy.

nobody plays this game so you play bots that have a 95% success rate of winning. i don’t ever get a turn unless im breaking. just a poorly made game. unbelievable nobody plays this game so you play bots that have a 95% success rate of winning. i don’t ever get a turn unless im breaking. just a poorly made game.

Neat mechanism for a pool tourney game to use Gaming Cards to increase your skill set. Ability to level up the cards to improve your pool game. I feel there is some improvements on controls and a little more tutorial all around. But it’s a new game you can tell is being built to be continuously improve, by adding new cards and new levels. Overall great game - a bit addictive the better you get to understanding the controls.
