Description
Play in 8-ball and straight pool (billiards) tournaments against computer players to try to be #1.
Plus, lots of great challenges, time attacks and over 60 trophies to be won!
It has a nice physics engine, so you can get top, back and side spin. You'll need to use spin to complete the 'Snookers' challenge.
All of your stats are saved automatically - from matches won to number of balls potted.
Enjoy!
Oh, and remember 'Z' is your friend! Press it after your shots to speed up the animation

8-ball Rules
The default game rules pretty much follow these rules from the English Pool Association:
http://www.epa.org.uk/rules.php
You can change the 8-ball rules in the game menus โ โSet Rulesโ.
Straight Pool Rules
Basically, each ball potted scores you 1 point. Any ball can be potted at any time โ including the black. If you foul โ miss all balls or go in off โ then youโll lose 1 point. The table will re-rack once there are less than 2 object balls on the table. If the cue ball or remaining object ball are near the triangle, they will be moved on re-rack.
Weโre not playing strict rules, so you donโt have to nominate balls and pockets, as this slows the game down and makes flukes illegal โ whereโs the fun in that?
ย
Tips
Break: add top spin for a better break.
Ranking: To become Rank #1 youโll have to win some of the tournaments more than once.

If Bad Eye Bob beats you 12 times in a row, there's only one thing to do: break your cue stick and go to drink the 895th pint...

Ha ha, Shakespeare! I may not be able to match your sonnets but I can beat you at pool and we all know that's what really matters.

New kong comments system, nice. @ericcantona, several people have asked me to make a snooker game, and I will make one after I finish my new facebook app.

@EddieOwen, I released Pub Snooker on my websites englishpubpool.co.uk & pubsnooker.com the other day. I'm tweaking it at the moment... You can try it there, I'll add it to my facebook app soon and then release on kong after that. It's similar to this game, but the ai is better. The CPUs can play for position and can play safety shots too. There are new challenges and I made a new type of snooker called 3-Reds Snooker too (like normal snooker but only ever 3 reds on the table, new reds are added randomly).
