8Metaballs is a billiard-themed pool simulation game where users can play game modes such as Arcade, Obstacle, PvC, PvP and earn in-game currency and NFTs. The game is being developed by 8META (a company created by Tony and Vitally).
With the in-game currency earned, players can trade it for cues (NFTs) that have special features that allow them to perform better such as hit power, angle of fine-tuning, etc. There are also daily and weekly leadership boards for exclusive NFTs, USD or $MANA cash prizes.

Players earn this jacket NFT by collecting NFTs of all the ball cards from ball card #1 to ball card #16. Each ball card can be purchased in-game in exchange for balls. Each card number multiplied by 1000 decides the value of the card. For example, ball card #1 is for 1000 balls, ball card #4 is for 4000 balls and card #11 is for 11,000 balls. Then players exchange all 1 to 16 ball cards for the jacket. At the time of exchanging all the 16 ball cards, NFTs get burnt and a new Jacket NFT is minted. The players get the following utilities with this jacket:
