Core Gameplay & Mechanics
Players start by aiming the cue stick using precise mouse or touch controls, applying spin to the cue ball for positional play. The objective is to pot red balls followed by colored balls, maximizing your score with century breaks. Each successful pot earns points, with colored balls having higher values. Failure occurs if you miss a pot or foul, resetting your break. The learning curve is gradual, rewarding precision and strategy over speed.
