Pool 8

A pool table where movement is strictly straight-line: up, down, left, right, with no diagonals. That constraint turns every shot into a planning puzzle, as you work out the order of moves needed to line up the balls before potting them in sequence. Progress through difficulty tiers, from rookie upwards, with a bonus round that offers extra retries. Runs in the browser on desktop, phone, or tablet in portrait orientation, with no installation needed.
