Is Squishy Billiards Free, and What Do You Need to Play It?

Updated

Yes. Squishy Billiards is described on its own site as a "100% free, family-friendly" daily pool puzzle game that runs in your browser on desktop or mobile, with nothing to install. The only stated cost of playing is that the game is ad-supported: the site asks visitors to consider whitelisting it in their ad blocker to support development. No payment, subscription, or account requirement is mentioned anywhere in the available site material.

What you need to start playing

  • A modern browser. The game runs in the browser; the site explicitly says desktop and mobile both work without installation.
  • No download or app store step. There is no install flow described.
  • No sign-up mentioned. Scores and daily results are presented on the site without any stated login requirement, though the material doesn't describe how scores are stored or tied to a player.

If you use an ad blocker, expect the site to ask you to whitelist it. That request is a support mechanism, not a paywall — nothing in the site text gates play behind payment or registration.

How the free daily format works

Each day brings a fresh rack, labeled by number (the site showed "No. 113" on a dated page). The core loop, per the game's own instructions:

  1. Drag and shoot — drag the ball to aim, release to shoot.
  2. Sink the solid balls — clear all solids in as few shots as possible.
  3. Merge matching balls — combining balls of similar colors makes them easier to sink.
  4. Hit checkpoints — checkpoints save your progress mid-level.

After finishing, you can share your score and challenge friends. If you miss a day, past racks remain playable in the level archive, with that day's scores shown for comparison.

What's included beyond the daily rack

Feature Status per site
Daily Rack Playable now
Challenge Mode "Coming Soon"
Community Levels Listed; access details point to Discord
Custom Map Editor Alpha, with feedback requested via Discord
Level Archive Past racks playable with historical scores

The site also links to a Discord community for feedback and community maps, and lists other games from the same developer.

Practical caveats

  • "Free" here means ad-supported, not ad-free. The whitelist request is the site's stated way of funding the game.
  • Feature timing is uncertain. Challenge Mode is marked "Coming Soon" and the map editor is in alpha, so don't plan around them yet.
  • No pricing page exists in the provided material, so there's nothing to compare against a paid tier — the game appears to be a single free product rather than a free tier of a paid one.

Bottom line: open the site in a browser, play today's rack, and come back tomorrow for a new one. Nothing to buy, nothing to install.
