Your cannon shoots a bubble every 5 seconds. Stick together 3 matching bubbles and they pop.

• Spotting the Cue Ball:
  • Just move the ball to the desired position and click.

• Aiming:
  • Use your mouse to choose the direction of your shot by rotating your pool cue around the ball.

• Shooting:
  • Once you have aimed, just click to shoot.

• Shot Strength:
  • When you're shooting hold down the left-click button. The longer you hold it down, the weaker the shot. You can see how hard you'll shoot in the Shot-Strength meter.
    

• Adding Spin:
  • Before you shoot, adjust the angle at which you strike the ball in the Angle window. The steeper the angle the more spin you'll add.

In 8 Ball you play with 16 pool balls divided into two groups,SOLIDS and STRIPES,in addition to the CUE BALL and the 8 BALL.

• Type of billard balls:
  • Solid Balls (1~7)
    
  • Striped Balls (9~15)
    
  • 8 Ball
    
  • Cue Ball
    

The players take turns shooting. One player is attempting to make all of the SOLID Balls while the other is attempting to make all of the STRIPED Balls. Each players ball type (solid or striped) is determined by the first shot made of the game (that becomes their type)

When you make a shot (with one of your own balls) you get to shoot again. The players take turns shooting. Once a player has made all of their balls (solid or striped) they need to SINK THE 8 BALL.

• Winning:
  • The first player to make ALL of their balls AND the 8 Ball is the WINNER. The players take turns shooting.

• Losing:
  • You AUTOMATICALLY LOSE if you sink the 8 ball before you have made ALL of your other balls. The players take turns shooting.

In 9 Ball you play with 10 pool balls, including 1~9 and the Cue Ball.

• Type of billard balls:
  • Solid Balls (1~8)
    
  • Striped 9 Balls)
    
  • Cue Ball
    

In 9 Ball, on ALL shots the player MUST make the cue ball strike the lowest numerical ball on the table BEFORE it strikes any other balls. The player who pockets the 9 Ball is the winner.

This does NOT mean that the balls need to be pocketed in order; any ball may be pocketed at any time during the game so long as the lowest numerical ball is contacted first.

Players shoot in "Innings" which means that they get to continue shooting until they miss, commit a foul, or pocket the 9 Ball for a win.

• Fouls:
  • A player has committed a foul if they shoot and the Cue Ball first strikes a ball that is NOT the lowest numerical value on the table. The PENALTY for a Foul is that the player's inning ends, and their opponent can place the cue ball anywhere on the table prior to shooting.

• Winning:
  • The player who pockets the 9 Ball in a LEGAL manner is the winner. The 9 Ball can be legally pocketed by the hitting it directly in with the Cue Ball, or with a lower numbered ball in a combination shot.
  • A player can win by pocketing the Cue Ball on the BREAK.
  • A player can win by default if the other player commits 3 consecutive fouls.

In Snooker you play with 22 unnumbered balls including the cue ball.

• Type of billard balls:
  • 15 Red
  • 1 Yellow
  • 1 Green
  • 1 Brown
  • 1 Blue
  • 1 Pink
  • 1 Black
  • Cue Ball

The object of Snooker is to score more points than your opponent by pocketing balls in a predefined order. At the beginning of the game the balls are positioned as shown, and the players take turns attempting to pocket a Red Ball, which is worth 1 point.

When a red ball is pocketed it remains off of the table and the player gets to shoot again but this time they must aim at one of the "Colored Balls" which are worth higher point values: Yellow = 2, Green = 3, Brown = 4, Blue = 5, Pink = 6, Black = 7.

If the player successfully pockets a Colored Ball it is returned to the table and they must then pocket another Red Ball. The process continues until the player misses a shot at which point it is the other player's turn. Once all of Red Balls are pocketed, and only the Colored Balls remain on the table, the players must pocket the Colored Balls IN THE ORDER of their point value. Now, when a Colored Ball is pocketed it remains off of the table.

Whichever type of ball or balls that the player is required to pocket on a given shot is referred to as the "ON" Ball(s). The other balls are "NOT-ON".

• Winning:
  • When the final ball (black) is pocketed the game is over and the player with the most points wins.

• Snooker "Fouls":
  • If the Cue Ball first strikes a ball that is "NOT-ON".
  • If a player pockets a ball that is "NOT-ON".
  • If a player pockets the white Cue Ball.

• Penalty Points:
  • When a foul is committed the player's opponent receives "PENALTY POINTS". The number of penalty points is either the value of the "ON" Ball or the "Foul" Ball, whichever is highest.
