8 Ball Rush

8 Ball Rush is 3D pool in your browser. The table is a nine-foot tournament table with blue cloth, six pockets and an overhead lamp, and the balls roll, bounce off the cushions and knock into each other the way they do in a pool hall. You aim from behind the cue ball with a guide that draws the cue ball's path, the line the object ball will take and the cue ball's roll after contact, and you shoot with a power bar: pull it down, let go, and the cue strikes.

Two of the three modes are 8-ball. Play vs CPU puts you against a computer rival that lines up its own shots, and 2 players lets a friend take the other turns on the same screen. The table is open until the first ball goes down after the break, which gives each player a group, solids or stripes. Pot your whole group and then the 8 to win. A scratch, missing every ball or hitting the other group first is a foul and hands the other player ball in hand; sink the 8 too early or on a foul and the game is lost.

Rush is the solo mode against the clock. You get one minute and thirty seconds to clear all fifteen balls with the 8 last, every pot adds four seconds, and a scratch or an early 8 costs ten. Your best run, cleared with time to spare or the most balls potted, is kept on the device. Drag the table to aim and drag the power bar to shoot on a phone or with a mouse; on a keyboard the arrow keys aim, Space charges a shot while held, and T switches to a top view of the table.

Tips for 8 Ball Rush

Start with Play vs CPU to learn the table before you take a friend on in 2 players. The aim guide is your best tool: the white line is the cue ball's path, the orange line is where the object ball goes, and the short grey line is where the cue ball rolls after contact. Turn the aim until the orange line points at a pocket, then shoot with only as much power as the ball needs, because a hard shot that misses leaves the cue ball anywhere. Hold Shift while dragging, or use the arrow keys, when a shot needs a precise angle, and press T for a top view when the balls are spread out and you want to see the whole table.

After the break the table is open, so the first ball you pot decides your group. Pick the group with the easier shots, not the first ball you see. When you have ball in hand after a foul, place the cue ball where your next shot is straight. In Rush the order matters less than the pace: every pot adds four seconds and a scratch or an early 8 costs ten, so take the easy balls first, keep the 8 for last and never gamble on it while other balls are still up.

How to play 8 Ball Rush

8 Ball Rush has three modes. Play vs CPU and 2 players are 8-ball, and Rush is a solo race against the clock. In 8-ball the table is open after the break, and the first ball that goes down gives each player a group, solids or stripes. Pot your whole group and then the 8 to win the game.

To take a shot, aim from behind the cue ball. The guide shows three lines: the path of the cue ball, the line the object ball will take and the cue ball's roll after contact. Then pull the power bar down and let go, and the cue strikes. A scratch, missing every ball or hitting the other group first is a foul, and the other player gets ball in hand, which means they place the cue ball where they like. Sinking the 8 too early or on a foul loses the game.

In Rush you have one minute and thirty seconds to clear all fifteen balls with the 8 last. Every pot adds four seconds, and a scratch or an early 8 takes ten away. With a mouse or a finger you drag the table to aim and drag the power bar to shoot. On a keyboard the arrow keys aim, you hold Space to charge and release to shoot, and T switches to the top view.

About 8 Ball Rush

8 Ball Rush is a 3D pool game made by Kiloo, the Danish games studio in Aarhus, as a new game for the browser. It is played on a nine-foot tournament table with blue cloth and six pockets under an overhead lamp, and the balls roll, bounce off the cushions and drop into the pockets much as they do on a real table.

The game suits anyone who likes a quiet game of pool as well as players who want a quick challenge. The aim guide makes it easy for a newcomer to see where each shot will go, while the full 8-ball rules with fouls and ball in hand keep a game against the CPU or a friend honest. Rush turns the same table into a race, where clean, quick potting matters more than safety play, and your best run is kept on your device so you have something to beat next time.
