WARNING: High Scores don't seem to save properly if you have two kong pages open at the same time - this could affect you on any game. So, if you want to make sure your stats are saved, you should play the games in a single kong page only. Cheers

@Jugglinguy, that would be difficult as some stats are sent differently to others. E.g. potted balls are sent after every pot using an ADD Stat (+1) while say trophies stats are sent as a MAX Stat (only saves if higher). This means when you win your next trophy the stat will be in sync again, but the potted balls stat will be down if stats were missed. And I can't sync an ADD stat as I can't find out how many potted balls have been recorded by Kong. I could change the potted balls stats to a MAX stat, but then if you play on two computers, say at home and at work :), then your total potted balls wouldn't be right as it would only equal the total from one of the computers - cos all stats are saved locally. You'll have to play in just one browser to get the right stats :(

Could there be a button to have all of our stats send or something? My potted balls stat, and others haven't recorded in a while (probably because of all the idlegaming, but I'd still like them to record!)

If this had multiplayer it would be close to best game on the site! Though for what it is, it's near flawlessly done. 5/5

Don't worry, it doesn't work every time (Thank god for that!) The vid that I used was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RycVSOnv974
And I'm sad to report this, but I've gotten 0 misses on snookers twice now, but it hasn't recorded anything since my 58k score.

@Jdmac, most English tables I've played on have an 8 on the black, but a few don't. Anyways, the black looks better with an 8 on it.

Great game, truly the best pool simulation out there. The first betas were a bit glitchy/laggy, but the official version is brilliant. No lagging here, and I'm in Google Chrome, so... 5/5

Thanks for all the great comments!
Jugglinguy - I'm glad you recognise my hard work. I might add a key to skip the messages, but you can already just click anywhere.
I couldn't find your youtube clip, can you post the link - I'd like to see it. It shouldn't work every time as the balls are always placed in slightly different positions, but it probably gives you a better chance of fluking it.
P.s. I like Cargo Bridge

This game just never gets old! The physics are just outstanding. I youtubed how to get the 8ball in off the break, and then I replicated what they did but in the game, and in only a few tries it worked! Really really great job on the coding. It's so nice to see someone that knows how to properly make a physics engine! ( especially with crap like cargo bridge around)

I've tested it on a few computers and it seems to work fine. It can get a little slow if you're running too many other programs - especially other flash games. Sometimes, if you get badly made flash adverts on the page they can affect the speed too. As well as Kong's chat, for some reason when you get a Kong Award, games sometime almost stop for a moment or two!

yeah congrats nippon mate - great game - love it!
only problem is it seems to run a little "jerky" in my browser. dont get why. tried it in IE8 and Firefox 3. Computer is powerful enough...Works great in my laptop though!
looking forward to the snooker version :D
cheers mate

thesupremeruler, I've not seen these bugs before and the game has been well tested on kong already. If you could whisper me more details - which game mode/etc... then I might be able to help you.

kind of buggy, sometimes when i pot a ball two of it appear in the rack and sometimes when i miss a ball it randomly goes in and i get the point

and if it were th real world 'pool shark charlie' would be wearing a pool cue across th back of his head by now . . . especially after 35 pints . . .

I don't know why, but I have never liked a flash pool game.. Bring me back Rack'em on C64, that was fun, now all these other flash pool games are the same. Fail.

definitely N0T enjoying th shoot backwards from the line rule . . . but apart from that it's got the physics NAILED , and I've drunk 23 pints - hahahahah - 2 realistic ! 5/5

Nice game. Couple of bugs, it doesn't always display the ball after you foul. After I potted the 8 there was a yellow ball left on the table but the table reset and made me break from where my cue ball had come to rest from the prior shot.

I'm pretty sure the rules are fine - I'm using British rules - that could be the problem! Anyways, we all love a wise fish - so I don't think that's the problem.

It's a good, addicting game. Bit for some reason, I keep getting fouls, even when it's not my turn. Is it a glitch? Or am I just hated? Anyway, apart from that, the game is good, nice graphics and good gameplay.
