9 Balls Pool Game

9 Ball Pool is a single-player take on the pool variant of the same name: instead of clearing a full rack, you work through balls numbered 1 to 9 in order, and the game ends the moment the 9-ball drops. A short tutorial gets you up to speed before the physics-driven aiming takes over.

Line up your shot, then judge how hard to hit it — the ball reacts to real momentum and spin off the rails, so a shot that's aimed well but hit too hard can scratch as easily as it can pot.

Controls

• Aim and shoot: drag the mouse backward from the cue ball to set your angle and power, then release to strike. On touch devices, tap and hold to aim, then let go to shoot.

Tips

• You must legally contact the lowest-numbered ball on the table first on every shot — plan your angle around whichever ball that is, not just whichever one's easiest to pot.
• Sinking the 9-ball wins the game outright, even off a combination shot, so don't ignore a clear lane to it just because lower balls are still up.
• Ease off the power for position play — a soft, well-placed shot that leaves you lined up for the next ball beats a hard pot that scatters the table.

It's a quick single-player billiards session for anyone who wants to practice reading angles without needing an opponent.
