How to play
Six colored balls are racked in a triangle. Press on the cue ball, drag to aim, and release to shoot. The further you drag, the harder the shot. Pot every colored ball to finish the rack. If the cue ball goes into a pocket, that’s a scratch: it is counted and the cue ball comes back once everything stops moving.

Scoring
Your score is the number of shots needed to clear the table, so fewer is better. Potting one ball per shot takes six; a shot that sinks two balls at once can beat that. Your best is saved in this browser.
Tactics
- The angle a ball leaves a cushion mirrors the angle it arrived at. Use that for bank shots off a cushion into a pocket.
- Think about where the cue ball will stop. A soft shot that leaves the cue ball in the middle of the table often saves more shots than a hard pot that leaves it stuck on a cushion.
- Hit the object ball on the side opposite the pocket you want. Picture a line from the pocket through the ball, and aim for where that line comes out the far side.
- Balls slow down with table friction, so very soft shots may not reach the pocket.
