Top-down 8-ball pool, and the physics actually feel right. Drag back to aim, watch the line bend off the cushion, then crack the rack open against a friend or a pinpoint-potting CPU.
About Pool Blitz
Pool Blitz is a clean, satisfying take on 8-ball that lays the whole table out in front of you at once. Every shot kicks off with a drag. Pull back from the cue ball and a dotted guide fans across the felt, showing you the cushion bounce and a ghost-ball preview of exactly where you'll make contact. Let go and the rack explodes, balls clacking and spinning into the six pockets with a deep thunk. And the rules? They're the real thing. The table stays open until your first legal pot decides whether you're solids or stripes, you have to strike your own group first, and scratching hands your rival the cue in hand. Grab a friend for pass-and-play, or take on a CPU that lines up makeable angles and only misses by a hair. It tracks your wins, games and best break run between visits, so there's always a number to beat.
Inside Pool Blitz: what we checked
The numbers below come from Pool Blitz's own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- The table is open until someone pots a legal ball. Any ball you pot before that keeps your turn, and the first one that is not the 8 decides your group: solids are 1 to 7 and stripes 9 to 15.
- Four things are fouls: hitting nothing, scratching, hitting the 8 first on an open table, and touching a ball outside your group first (the 8 counts as legal first only once your group is cleared). After a foul your rival gets the cue ball in hand and can place it anywhere that is clear of balls and pockets.
- Potting the 8 ends the game on the spot. It wins only if your group is already cleared and the same shot has no foul or scratch. Potting it any earlier, or on a foul, loses.
- A legal pot of your own group keeps the turn, so you keep shooting until you miss or foul.
- The computer picks the shot with the straightest cut and a close pocket, then adds a small random error of roughly two degrees to its aim and a little to its power. When it has the ball in hand it tries a number of positions and takes the best.
- Aim by dragging back from the cue ball, or use the arrow keys or WASD, power with , and . (or [ and ]), and Space to shoot. Your games, wins, the computer's wins and your longest run of pots are saved in this browser.

How to play Pool Blitz
Drag back from the white cue ball to aim. The direction runs opposite your drag, and the length sets the power on the bar. Your aim line shows the first cushion bounce plus a ghost ball where you'll strike, so line up the pocket before letting go. Release to strike the cue ball. Keep potting your own group and you keep your turn. Sink your seven solids or stripes, then drop the black 8 to win, but pot the 8 early or scratch on it and you lose.
Controls
Drag to aim and release to strike with the mouse or your finger; same drag works on touch. After a foul, drag the cue ball to a legal spot (ball in hand). P pauses, M mutes.
Tips & tricks
- Aim at the ghost ball, not the object ball — line up the white circle behind your target.
- On the break, hit the lead ball nearly head-on with high power for a full spread.
- After a foul you get ball in hand — set up a dead-straight shot you can't miss.
- Plan one ball ahead: where your cue ball stops decides your next shot.
