From the Devs

One night. Six rooms. A debt to settle.

Pool Shark turns 8-ball into a roguelike: win money matches, build your kit between tables, and take on tougher opponents as the stakes rise. Your best friend owes the wrong people $12,500, and you have to bail him out.

Make the shots count

Use spin, banks, and combos to clear the table. Choose cards, chalk, ball upgrades, and cues that change how you play and score. Take a side bet, chase a pocket jackpot, or face the house’s special rules. Every run gives you a new way to build your shark.

Play your way

A solo campaign across six rooms, with 18 opponents and multiple endings.
Online 1v1: challenge a friend or climb the ranked ladder.
Unlock cosmetics by playing.
Mouse and keyboard or gamepad controls.

Pool Shark is free. No ads, no paywall, just some fun pool. All wagers use fictional in-game money.
