HOTSHOTHOTSHOT
The pool game where the balls fight back.
Flick the cue ball with one thumb, bank it off the walls and pot the coloured balls through the gate — while fire balls burn your cue, mines freeze the table and black holes pull you in.
Free, no ads ever, one £2.99 unlock.
In motion
Pot three in one shot and your cue catches fire.
Screenshots
67 levels. Three worlds.
Features
Simple to flick. Hard to tame.
Fire balls
Touch one and your cue ball burns. Water balls put the fire out — smash them together.
Mines
Hit a mine and the whole table freezes until you pot the black core.
Black holes
They pull in anything that drifts too close, including you.
Ghost balls
They phase straight through your first touch. Split balls break in two.
The Fireball Cue
Pot three in one shot and your cue ignites: the next shot burns through fire and scores double.
67 levels, three worlds
Warrior (27 levels, free forever), Inferno and Orbit — zero-G tables, magnets and drift.
A daily table
One seeded table, the same for everyone, one attempt, with a Game Center leaderboard.
Made to feel good
60 fps, haptics on every pot, burn and freeze, original music, one-thumb controls.

FAQ
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The 27 Warrior levels and the daily table are free forever, with no ads, ever. One optional £2.99 purchase unlocks the Inferno and Orbit worlds and the golden cue. No subscription, no coins, no timers.
Do you collect any data?
No. There is no account of ours, no analytics, no ad or tracking SDK — the App Store label is "Data Not Collected". Progress stays on your phone and in your own iCloud. This website has no analytics or cookies either. Details in the privacy policy.
Which iPhones does it run on?
Any iPhone on iOS 16 or later. It targets 60 fps on iPhone 12 and newer. Game Center is optional; the game works signed out and offline.
I bought the unlock and it’s still locked.
Open Shop → Restore purchases. That fixes nearly every case. If not, email ops@kwixa.co.uk — more on the support page.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. HotShot is iPhone-only for now.

One person in the UK.
HotShot first shipped in 2018 as a paid app that fewer than ten people downloaded. The few who played it loved the physics, so in 2026 it came back: rebuilt from scratch, free, and with the fireball front and centre. Writing about it or streaming it? Everything you need is in the press kit.
