8 Billiard Arena

About Game

8 Billiard Arena puts you at a 3D pool table inside a fully lit arcade room with three distinct rule sets to work through. Practice mode lets you pocket balls in any order to build rhythm and master angles without pressure. American Pool runs classic 8-ball — solids vs stripes, clear your group, then sink the black 8-ball to close out the game, with a single scratch flipping the table. Free Pyramid is a Russian-style scoring format where you break from the baulk line, pot anything in sight, and the first player to 8 points wins. A two-player battle mode and bot opponent round out the options. Tucked inside the arcade room is a dartboard — tapping Exit darts launches a hidden mini-game.

How to play

On mobile, drag one finger left or right across the table to rotate the cue, and swipe up or down to shift the camera angle. To set power, grab the round handle on the power meter and pull it down — the further you pull, the harder the hit; the side drum slider handles fine control. On desktop, hold the left mouse button and move left or right to rotate the cue, and move up or down to adjust the camera. Drag the round handle downward to set power; the bar moves from green through yellow to red as force increases. After a foul or scratch, drag the white cue ball to any free spot on the table and press OK to lock it in before your next shot.

The aim guide lines and ghost ball show exactly where the cue ball will end up after contact. Switch Camera toggles between the follow-cam and a top-down bird's-eye view for checking angles across the full table. Fast Forward (2x) speeds up ball movement between shots. In American Pool, the table is open on the break — whichever group you pot first is yours for the game. In Free Pyramid, the cue ball must be placed behind the baulk line before the opening break.
