August 24, 2010
The folks over at Sauce Digital have worked hard to bring Apple fans a native iPad version and an updated iPhone version of their authentic pool game, Killer Pool. The new Killer Pool HD gives iPad owners the chance to show off their billiards talent. The latest version of Killer Pool for iPhone and iPod touch takes the 3D graphics to a new level.
Killer Pool v1.2 now features:
• Retina display enhancement - the game renders at 960x640 for double the pixels and sharpness.
• Also now rendering using a increased polygons and texture sizes for more realistic models.
• iPhone 4s also implement polygon smoothing - so that jagged 3D edges (visible even on the retina display) are smoothed and anti-aliased.
Killer Pool and Killer Pool HD feature realistic physics, including spin and swerve, accurate and easy controls with simple drag, swipe, and tap, official rules, lifelike graphics, three table speeds, and landscape or portrait gameplay. Compete against other players, including AI opponents of different difficulties, local and world championships, and other multiplayer options. To top things off, you're able to play your own music in the background and resume games if you need to close and relaunch.
Killer Pool and Killer Pool HD offer five different game types to suit your preference, which include 8 Ball, UK Black Ball (Eight Ball), 9 Ball, Killer, and OctoKiller. OctoKiller is a unique version of Killer played on an octagonal table, where players eliminate each other by sinking their balls, with the last remaining player victorious.
Killer Pool HD for iPad and Killer Pool for iPhone and iPod touch are available in the App Store for $1.99 each.
If you would like to give the Killer Pool experience a try without any risk to your wallet, take a look at the free Killer Pool Lite. The Lite version includes the same iPhone 4 graphics enhancements but includes only one game type and lacks most of the other advanced options available in the full version.
