In this cool little racing game you play as a pool ball and race around a little track reminiscent of the edge of a pool table. Your enemies are the other pool balls and you must strive to be number one and win the trophy at the end of the day.
The graphics are pretty cool for a freeware racer and certainly do everything that’s required of them. Its unfortunate the reflection on the pool ball stays the same no matter where you go on the track, but it's far from detracting.
As for actually playing the game, it’s a lot of fun. There’s various difficulty levels and also settings for how many other balls you want to race against and also how many laps you can do, so all the customization adds depth to the game.
There is no music and only a few sounds but they work out well, actually. The sounds occasionally chiming in as you attempt to make a tight curve with a couple of other balls by your side, is really quite cool.
The only thing I can gripe about is not being able to change the camera angle. It’s always firmly stuck in the same position. While it’s not entirely bad or completely annoying, it would have been nice to be able to change it to at least a point-of-view or an overhead shot. That gripe aside, the game pretty much stands on its own two feet as an enjoyable piece of entertainment.
In closing, this is a racing game with a difference. While it may not be completely thrilling or totally engrossing, it certainly scores points on an entertainment level and that’s always a good thing.
