How to play
  • Goal: pot your seven balls, then pot the 8. Solids are 1 to 7. Stripes are 9 to 15.
  • Aim: press or drag on the table. The cue points at your finger. The white line shows where the cue ball goes and where the first ball heads.
  • Fine aim: use the ◀ ▶ buttons, the arrow keys, or the mouse wheel. Hold Shift for the smallest step.
  • Power: set the slider, then press Shoot or Space.
  • Cue ball: "follow" makes it roll on after the hit. "Draw" pulls it back. "Stop" leaves it near the hit.
  • Break: drag the cue ball anywhere behind the line first.
  • Groups: the table stays open after the break. The first ball potted after that decides who has solids and who has stripes.
  • Your turn goes on while you pot your own balls without a foul. No need to call a pocket.
  • Fouls: the cue ball goes in; you hit nothing; you hit the wrong ball first; or nothing is potted and no ball reaches a rail after the hit. The other player then drags the cue ball anywhere.
  • The 8: pot it early and you lose. Pot it with a foul and you lose. An 8 potted on the break goes back on the table.
  • Levels: Easy misses often and plays the plain shot. Medium aims well. Hard rarely misses and plans the next shot.
