What is Cuedillo?

Rollo the armadillo runs the cosiest pool hall in town, and every table has a trick shot waiting. Bend the cue ball round a blocker, jump it over a wall of balls, bank a red off two cushions, or stop the cue ball dead in a ring.

Every ball slides, rolls and spins like on a real table: draw, follow, stun, side spin off the cushions. When you want a proper game, rack up Shell Out or Lowdown against the bots, pass the phone to a friend, or play together on several phones.

How to play

  1. Drag on the table to aim, then pull the cue back to shoot.
  2. Set the spin on the cue ball and raise the cue for masse swerves and jump shots.
  3. Read the goal of the table: pot this ball, off that cushion, stop in the ring.
  4. Earn up to three stars, then watch your best shot again in slow motion.

Lowdown

Nine ball style: always hit the lowest ball first, and the 9 wins the game.

Pass the phone

Two players, one phone: pass it after every visit to the table.

Why you'll love it

Meet the cast

Rollo

Rollo

The armadillo who runs the pool hall, in a flat cap, vest and bow tie. A master of trick shots, he cheers your best ones, groans at scratches and rolls into a ball when you pull off something special.

The music

Smooth late night soul jazz for a cosy pool hall: warm Hammond organ, walking upright bass, vibraphone and a muted trumpet, with a laid back groove at the table that leaves room for the click of the balls. The soundtrack is still being made.

Questions and answers

Is Cuedillo free?

Yes, it is free on Google Play. There are two optional one-time purchases: one turns off the ads between levels and games, and Premium removes every ad and makes the long aim guide, Show me, the free retry and Improve score free up to a daily limit. No coins, cues or random rewards for sale.

How do the helps and ads work?

Ads never show during a shot. In the first levels and in Spin school the long aim guide, Show me and the free retry are completely free. After that they come with a short ad you choose to watch. Now and then an ad may come between levels or games.

Does it work offline?

Yes for trick shots, the daily trick shot, Spin school and games against the bots. Play together uses Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the same room, and online games need a connection.

Which languages is it in?

English, Portuguese and Spanish, with German, French and Italian arriving in the next update.

Which devices can I play on?

Android phones, through Google Play.

Who is it for?

It is made for players aged 13 and over who like pool, billiards and clever physics puzzles. The official age rating is shown on Google Play.

What data does the game collect?

No account and no sign in. The game sends anonymous game events and its own error messages. The ad network uses the advertising ID and an approximate location from your connection.
