Overview

Bankshot! is a roguelike take on traditional 8-ball pool, developed and published by Corvid Creative.

The game is currently available in English and supports full controller play, making it a comfortable fit for couch sessions or solo practice.

Highlights

Realistic Pool Physics: The table is built to real dimensions, and the physics engine simulates actual pool behavior—draw, follow, and side spin all affect the cue ball and object balls in realistic ways.

Early Access with Controller Support: The game is in Early Access, includes full controller support, and offers adjustable text size and camera comfort options for a more accessible experience.
