Priced at $1.99 at launch, Killer Pool HD takes the original game and tailors it to the the iPad screen and hardware. It uses the same pool physics engine, the most realistic on the iDevice, and the same popular control system. It proves to be a fantastic experience on the bigger screen.
Killer Pool HD also makes some great improvements on the previous iPhone iteration. These are most obvious in the visuals of the game, which now features:
* Rendering using an increased polygon count and larger texture sizes for higher detail in the models.
* Most effectively, due to their increases hardware power, Killer Pool HD implements polygon smoothing – so that usually jagged 3D edges are smoothed and anti-aliased.
