Cuesim.app 3D pool sim now has multiplayer functionality
I represent the team at CueSim.app and we’ve had some amazing feedback on this subreddit over the last 6 months or so. I’d like to thank everyone involved, especially u/Plastic-Diet9648 who has been consistently engaged and helped shape what we have today.
We’ve now rolled out a much-requested multi-player game feature. That means you can play people online either ‘instantly’ or via a link you can send over a message/email. During online play, you can obviously see the other person playing in full 3D, as well as have access to a chat function. At the time of writing, SnookerSim.com and Cuesim.app combined has about 1000 daily players. This is not enough for a continuous stream of online gamers to be willing to play at any given moment, so when you select the ‘find an opponent’ option, all active visitors get a popup notifying them and the first player to accept goes into a live game. As we build up a dedicated audience this will become much more instant so we appreciate early-adopter patience.
We’re looking for people to try this out and test it. As always, we really appreciate the honest, candid feedback from Reddit users.
One idea we had but have not yet implemented is the shot timer. Currently it’s fixed at 2 minutes. This may not be enough, but we don’t want games to drag out or stall. An idea is that you could ‘request’ additional time on a shot, that the other player could ‘accept’, although that could lead to cheating by denying a reasonable request for more time. Would be great to hear your feedback!

Interesting. Would take some time getting used to. How much is it and when will it be available on Google Play?

It’s a browser game so you can play on pc, Mac, phone, tablet… We have considered the app/play store route but it is a big job!

Gotcha. I haven't turned on my PC is 4 years.
At any rate, how much is it or is free to play?

Nice! How mobile friendly is it? I need something for my players to play while they wait for a table.

It is not bad - works fine on mobile but definitely better on a bigger screen such as tablet. Best experience is on desktop.
