About Speed Pool King
A pool table played at pace. You line the cue up, an indicator shows where the shot is heading, and you set the power and the spin before you strike. Speed is part of the scoring, so a long think costs you.
The black 8 ball carries the usual warning: pot it at the wrong moment and the frame is over. Spin is what turns a made shot into a made shot with the next one already lined up. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Aim the cue and read the indicator line.
- Set the power and the spin for the shot.
- Strike, and pot the balls you are on.
- Leave the black 8 ball until nothing else is left.

Tips
- Play for the next shot, not the current one. Backspin holds the cue ball where you want it.
- Take the easy pot fast rather than the hard pot perfectly. The clock is scoring you too.
