Croquet the app is inspired by the sport enjoyed by many people. The rules most closely resemble 9-wicket Croquet, however, there are some creative differences including the layout of the courts. A game is played by two, three, or four players.
As far as gameplay goes, the primary rule is that passing the ball through a wicket gives you another stroke. There is also the special croquet stroke that occurs after striking another ball. The first player to pass through all wickets in the course and reach the final peg is the winner.
Triumphed in the literary imaginations of Lewis Carroll and Edward Gorey, the sport has been given notice by authors in the whimsical and nonsense tradition. As such, Croquet Pro takes this spirit to heart in the design of each unique court. Some courts, like the leading Monk’s Meadow feature a traditional wicket arrangement. Others – such as the eerie Creepy Castle and ultimate Erstwhile Emptiness – employ asymmetrical tendencies for more curious and intriguing gameplay. You gain access to new courts by earning stars just through playing.
Another key feature of Croquet is the ability to perform the namesake croquet stroke and foot roquet. A croquet is achieved by striking the ball of another player in the same court. A successful hit gives you a choice – you may either place your foot on your ball then hit the other ball or continue with an extra stroke. It is possible when continuing to strike both balls in a way like billiards. Once the action is taken, you must be careful not to strike the same ball again before your next turn or you are penalized with returning to the same position from which your turn began. Special strokes make the game much more compelling and strategic than simply a race through wickets to the finish.
Croquet supports offline and online play. You may either play against up to four of the computer opponent or go online and play against other people. There is a multiplayer lobby with public and private game options.
The AI opponent in offline mode plays competitively and fairly, and can offer a fun challenge for both beginning and experienced players.

Croquet Pro
----------
I used to play croquet a lot as a kid, and after one day gaining an inexplicable drive to find a good video game adaptation, I stumbled across the Croquet Pro series. This first entry definitely gets the rules down for a decent game of croquet, but there's way too many rough edges for me to recommend this title.
Croquet Pro's BIGGEST sin is the almost-complete lack of camera controls, the only exception being a "snap-to" option when you wish to hit another player's ball. Graphics options are non-existent, the game only plays in windowed mode, and the different locales that you can play in are very sparsely designed (with some of the rarely appearing decorations actually being surprisingly ugly.) The controls are okay, but there's no layout or mapping to what button or key does what, and strangely enough, the places where this issue is the most problematic are the HUD and the menus. I also play with the repetitive music on mute, but the lo-fi sound effects admittedly have some charm. Also, the game does seem pretty darn stable, and I didn't come across any obvious bugs.
Multiplayer is available, but trying it out gave me a connection timeout. Thankfully, Croquet Pro's single-player AI seems more than serviceable. However, the static hit-boxes for the wickets seem a little too large, commonly bouncing shots away in ways that seem unnatural.
I'll conclude by admitting that Croquet Pro is a bit of a "bargain bin" guilty pleasure for me at times, but I can't recommend a purchase to anyone else unless you're REALLY jonesing for a croquet game, and even then, I advise you to be prepared for the very rough experience that you're signing up for.
FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Eventobj2_ball for object obj2_mallet: Unable to find any instance for object index '89' name 'obj2_ball' at gml_Object_obj2_mallet_Collision_89 stack frame is gml_Object_obj2_mallet_Collision_89 (line -1)
The game crashed, best part of the experience for me/10
This is by far the greatest game i have ever played. The AI are insane and will hurt your feelings though. Overall its a 1,000/10 would recommend
