MiRacle Pool - Early Access

After 3 years of blood, sweat and cue chalk, we are proud to announce that MiRacle Pool, our physics-first mixed reality billiards simulator, is now live on the main Meta Quest store! You can play it now for just $14.99 today! What’s New in the Full Version? - Countdown Challenge Mini Game -…

Super simulation already now

Very, very good already, the immersion factor scores overkill. Best in class! However, this as a hint or request to the devs: Since you cannot lean on the pool table and so stabilise both your queue and body, aiming precisely is a pain and a matter of too much luck and try&error. In this game now you fixiate the queue via one grab button, but that one button fixiates the stick both at the tip and the rear end. Very shaky aiming is the result. What is needed is this: the lead hand pushes a button to just fixiate the very tip of the queue in relation to the playball, the back hand still can alter the stick's orientation sideways and up and down, just that the queue is frozen at its tip in space and the right hand also still can glide up and down on the stick. Then you hold the grab button on the backhand to fixiate the rear end of the stick as well, by that freezing the stick's axis in space, and not before then you can actually shoot the ball by moving the rear end hand, dosing power by hand movement. The point is that first the tip of the queue gets alinged to the ball, including English and spin, and then in a second step the stick is swayed left and right to do the exact aiming. It must be a two step procedure, not just a one step procedure where you do it all at once and without any physical stabilization. This is imo the only way to compensate for the lacking stability. It is not even needed to do it in sequence, first the left hand and then the right hand. It is sufficient if the grab button freezes either the front or rrear end of the queue and the backhand position on the stick. Another good detail would be if the controllers give haptic feedback if the queue leans onto or reaches into the rail, or the table, right now you only get that red ring as a visual feedback. Give it some haptic love instead. If I slam the table with the queue in frustration, let the controller tell me all about it! Superexcited for the finished game!

Very fun and immersive.

This game is really fun, just like real pool, and with the Quest 3 pass through the game is surprisingly immersive. The mechanics were well thought out and feels very similar to real pool. One thing me and my friend found out while playing is that if you grab the table and rotate with the thumbstick, the table gets further and further away, and you have to rejoin the game to fix it if it goes outside your boundary.

Need option to hide opponent avatar

Very fun game. Can you add local coop mode? If we have two quest headsets can we play a match? Update: The game itself is perfect, but some of its players are just obnoxious. I noticed the multiplayer mode finally kicked off and was really excited to try it out. So I joined a ranking match. The other guy would use his avatar to block my view of the white ball every time it was my turn until the timer ran out. I had to quit the game half way. There should be an option to hide the avatar of the other player during your turn, because you’ll never be disappointed by the number of people who are willing to do whatever just to score higher even during a leisure game.

Amazing

I never thought there would be a game in VR where you genuinely find it so easy to forget its not real! i find myself edging round the table as if im going to bump into it! The physics are true to life and the mistakes i make in real life pool are mimicked in this game (maybe im the problem 🤔) overall this game is brilliant, whether you're new to VR or a veteran you will enjoy this! Only recommendation I would make would be to add british red and yellow balls as an option to play with and a choice of table cover colour. 5*

Absolute best VR experience

This game is what gets me excited for the future of mixed reality and VR in general, the best physics of any game I’ve ever tried…the game feels so real real that you forget about it after a while.. totally immersed in this game, hopefully we can have tournaments in the future.. right now the multiplayer has high wait time for me playing from India, but that’s my only quirk.. Hoping for bigger snooker tables in the future. Total support the devs, will buy this game first day of release Highly recommend! Add me in if you wanna play sometime.
