A physics-based arcade game where you play the 8-ball, tired of being shoved into corners, and clear the table yourself.
Have you ever wondered what the 8-ball feels like, always being the last one targeted? In 8 Ball Revenge the tables have turned.
You are the legendary 8-ball. After years of being shoved into corners, you’ve decided to take matters into your own hands. Your mission: clear the table yourself.
8 Ball Revenge is a dynamic, physics-based arcade game developed in Godot 4.6. Forget everything you know about classic billiards. Here, strategy meets superpowers in a quest for ultimate retribution.
- Reverse billiards: play as the 8-ball and eliminate the other balls across 6 unique, challenging levels.
- Superpowers and upgrades: spend your points on specialized balls with unique abilities that help you clear the hardest layouts.
- Star rating: precision pays off. Earn 1 to 3 stars per level for score and efficiency.
- Dynamic maps: forget the rectangular table. Explore diverse arenas that test your skill and creativity.
- Resource management: every move counts. Plan your shots to get the most points from bounces and clear the table before you run out of moves.
