Uber Pool is an Adobe Flash sports video game developed by Jacob Grahn that was released on 2006-04-18.
Gameplay
The pool table used in the game. Players must continually pot balls in order to keep the silver bar seen to the left charged.
Uber Pool plays similarly to its real life equivalent, although with only two rules: players can't pot the main ball or let the silver bar run out. Players begin with four balls and each time they pot a ball, the silver bar re-fills.
A new ball type is introduced every level, ranging from normal balls to ones that draw others towards it. This also applies to power-ups, with ones that give an exact indication of where the cue stick will cause a ball to move to awarding the player an extra ball.

Trivia
- This is the first game Jiggmin published on his new, at the time, website, mrjiggmin.com.
- The Kongregate version was published nearly two and a half years after its initial Newgrounds release.
- Strangely, the game was also published by DragonGamez rather than Jiggmin.[1]
- Once his website's url was shortened, Jiggmin updated the game to reflect the change. He neglected to center the text, however, making it oddly left-aligned underneath the other centered options on the results screen.
- Due to a bug within Flash, it's impossible to play the official game with Flash Player versions above 19, as the game only reads their first number (currently "2" instead of "20") when it runs a check, rendering it unplayable. The game can be modified to remove the check altogether, though.
