Controls and rules

Aim: press and drag anywhere on the table. The mouse wheel, arrow keys or the ridged strip on the right fine-tune it.
Shoot: pull the power bar on the left down and let go, or hold Space and release.
Spin: tap the cue ball button on the right and pick where to strike. Top spin follows through, bottom spin draws back, side spin bends rebounds.
Ball in hand: drag the cue ball to a new spot.
The 8-ball: once your group is cleared, tap a pocket to call it before you shoot.

Pot your group (solids 1–7 or stripes 9–15), then the 8 in the pocket you called. The first ball potted after the break decides the groups. Fouls give your opponent ball in hand: potting the cue ball, hitting nothing, hitting the wrong group first, or no ball reaching a cushion after contact. Potting the 8 early, in the wrong pocket, or with a foul loses the game.
