Drag to shoot

Drag on the table to aim, then drag the power bar and let go to shoot. Keyboard: ← →: Aim (hold Shift for fine aim). ↑ ↓: Set the power. Space: Hold to load power, let go to shoot. Enter: Shoot at the power set. W / S: Follow or draw spin. M: Move the cue ball (ball in hand), then the arrows. P: Pick the pocket for the 8. Esc: Pause.

How to play

  • Aim: drag anywhere on the table to point the cue, or drag in a circle near the cue ball for fine turns. The arrows beside the power bar nudge the aim.
  • Shoot: drag the power bar, then let go. Drag back to the start to cancel.
  • Spin: tap the top of the little cue ball for follow, the bottom for draw.
  • Ball in hand: drag the cue ball to place it. After a scratch it goes behind the line.
  • On the black: pick the pocket you'll sink the 8 in before you shoot.

The rules

  • Pot a ball after the break to claim solids or stripes, then clear your group and sink the 8.
  • A foul (scratching, hitting the wrong ball first, missing everything or potting the other group's ball) gives your opponent two visits.
  • Sinking the 8 early, in the wrong pocket, or with a foul loses the frame. With both players on the black, any foul loses it.
