What is 8shape?
8shape is a minimalist arcade pool game for iOS: instead of balls you shoot shapes – circle, triangle, square and more, each with its own behaviour – and master tricky trickshots.
Which devices is 8shape for?
8shape runs on iPhone and iPad and is free on the App Store.
Can I play against friends?
Yes. Alongside a relaxed solo mode there is a multiplayer / VS mode where you go head to head against others. You can also challenge friends directly and send them your latest run as a slick result card.
What are the weekly challenges?
Every week a new challenge runs with a changing metric – turns, time or score. On top of that come different modifiers: sometimes you only get one shot per event, sometimes everyone competes under exactly the same conditions with no powerups. Your results go straight to the leaderboard, and the top spots earn rewards.
Does 8shape support Game Center?
Yes, 8shape is deeply integrated with Apple Game Center – for leaderboards, achievements and multiplayer matches.
How is 8shape different from classic pool?
You play with shapes instead of balls, collect unlockable powerups that shake up every round, solve dedicated trickshot levels, and compete against everyone else in weekly rotating challenges.
