About Pocket Pool
Pocket Pool is a top-down pool puzzle game with 24 trick-shot levels. Each table is a set-up position: pot every numbered ball within a small number of shots, sometimes with the 8 ball saved for last. Aim with the dashed guide line and ghost ball, set your power and watch the balls roll, kiss and drop with real collision physics.
Top-down pool trick-shot puzzles: line up the ghost ball, pull the cue and clear every set-up table within a few shots — banks around brass bumpers, two-ball combos and 8-ball-last finishes across 24 levels.

How to play Pocket Pool
Mouse
Drag on the table to point the cue, then drag the power bar and release to shoot. You can also press on the cue ball and pull back away from your target, then let go.
Touch
Drag on the table to aim, then slide the power bar and lift your finger to shoot. Or touch the cue ball and pull back like a cue stick.
Keyboard
Left/Right arrows aim (hold Shift for fine steps), Up/Down set power, Space shoots. From level 13, W/A/S/D set top, back and side spin. R restarts, H shows a hint.
💡 Tips & tricks
- Put the white ghost circle where the cue ball must touch the object ball: the gold arrow shows where that ball will travel.
- A thin cut sends the object ball off at a steep angle and the cue ball keeps rolling along the faint tangent line — plan where it ends up.
- When a brass bumper blocks the straight line, aim at a cushion: the guide shows the rebound so you can bank around the obstacle.
- Potting the cue ball or the 8 ball too early costs an extra shot, so softer shots are often safer.

Pocket Pool FAQ
What happens if I scratch?
If the cue ball drops into a pocket it is placed back on its starting spot and the foul costs one extra shot. Potting the 8 ball before the others also costs a shot and the 8 is put back.
What if I run out of shots?
The level ends when no shots are left. You can try again, or watch an optional ad for one extra shot.
Can every level be solved?
Yes. Every table was solved by an automatic aiming bot within the shot limit, and each of its shots still works when the aim or power is slightly off.
