7 | 7 | ## How to Play |
8 | When you open the game, you are greeted with a cue, a white ball, and a red ball. The red ball will spawn near the mouth of a hole. To shoot, pull back on any part of the screen, and release. A longer pull will result in more power on the cueball. In the beginning, the game has no aim assist, and has only one coin per hole. Potting a coloured into a designated hole will give you the coins surrounding it, and will clear all coins from that hole. |

11 | 11 | **Aim Line** - The Aim line shows you where the cue ball is going to go, and where the coloured ball is going to go if it is sufficiently close enough. Upgrades start at 10 coins and increase by 10 until the final upgrade which costs 500 coins. |

22 | 22 | ## Strategy |
23 | 23 | A strong intuition of angles is required. When you hit a ball, try to visualise the angle at which the cue ball will go. Additionally, if your aim line is too short, you've to be good at guessing where the coloured will go. <br> |
24 | 24 | When you don't have a clear pot, try making use of [plants](https://www.sportsdefinitions.com/snooker/plant/#:~:text=Plant%20-%20Definition%20of%20Plant%20from%20SportsDefinitions.com%20Home,and%20the%20second%20object%20ball%20will%20be%20potted.?msclkid=6506b180c70311ec87fb910d0b7f5865) (hitting one coloured, then said coloured hits another one which goes in) or trolleys (a plant but with 3 or more coloureds). If you're desperate, use the wise words from snooker: "Hit and Hope". <br> |
25 | When you're making a sharp shot (a shot that has a small angle between where the cueball and coloured will go), then the indicated line is slightly off, you have to overcompensate. <br> |

|
26 | 26 | If you're stuck on deciding a shot, err on the side of the pocket that is farther away from you. Hitting the closer corner will almost always end in a miss. <br> |
27 | 27 | The central pockets are far more forgiving than in normal pool games. As long as you put low power, and are roughly within the area, it will go in. However, this makes the cushion shot (a shot along the wall of the table), a lot more difficult.<br> |
28 | 28 | Think about your next shot before you take one. Where do you want the cue ball to be? Which colour do you want to pot?<br> |
29 | 29 | You need not wait until the cue ball stops. You can tap the screen whenever, and the cue ball will stop. This is very useful for avoiding scratching. <br> |
