Casual physics puzzler in billiards style, where you try to knock the balls off the table, without knocking your cue ball off.
The game contains 160 single player levels and 75 vs. AI. Visuals are good, you can choose different table styles, and the gameplay is fun.
There's a star rating according to the amount of turns used, and so far I haven't had any problems reaching a 3 star rating after a couple of tries.
No stars are needed to advance in levels, there's no penalty for the amount of tries or losing the game, and there's no timer, so, really no pressure at all.
The vs. AI variant is not as much a contest, as a different style of puzzle. You have to win from AI to advance levels, but there's no penalty for losing.
I needed some time to get used to the controls, mostly the fact that you can place your mouse anywhere on the playfield. I tend to place the cursor on the cue ball, but when dragging the mouse outside of the playfield, it stops working.
Compaired to other physics puzzlers, this one gives you the gratification of smashing balls around, and get rid of some daily stress without the usual consequences. You can literally knock yourself out busting balls.

"Knockball pool" is a casual puzzle game that takes inspiration from billiard games. Try to knock the balls out of the table without allowing your main ball to fall down too. Challenge the AI or play one of the many fixed puzzle levels and try to earn 3 stars!
A simple puzzle game with nice classic interface and good ball physics! Calculate the optimal ball route, take aim and release the shot with appropriate power applied to it!
Will you succeed and win all?.. ^^

Nice game, played all 75 Vs. Computer levels through, and part of the solo beat it in limited # of turns to move on levels.
Recommended!
I couldn't get the game to allow me out of full screen mode,but didn't care that much, though the power you can apply is affected by where the shooter is, at edges you might not be able to make as hard a shot as you want, but the Computer Vs. is beatable.
Only saw the computer knock the shooter off twice, and if it does, level restarts, not a win for you, only hurt me one time, you get as many shots as it takes in Vs. Computer mode.
It would be nice if there was some acknowledgment after level 75, but it just flips back to level 001.
Graphics and sound were more than fine for me, and smooth as butter on 1700/6700XT, in Windows 10.
Update: the FULLSCREEN switch in options is now working!
