About Pool Empire - 8 Ball & Snooker
【Developer Notes】
I am a billiards lover, before making this game, I tried many times to find a life-like 2D pool game, but failed.
Undeniably, I've come cross some fine 3D pool games, but, personally, I prefer 2D to 3D. Because I find that it's very hard for players to estimate the distance between balls and control the force of the cue when playing 3D pool game. 3D really makes me feel dizzy!
