8 Ball Action screenshot

Use the joystick to move your aim dot around the table. Button causes ball to shoot at aim dot. Speed is determined by on-screen setting that changes between 3 speeds - Soft, Medium, Hard.
Each pocket has a point multiplier. Score for each made ball is determined by the ball number x the pocket multiplier x the round number.

You get three chances to make a ball before losing your turn. If you make a ball, you get another three chances to make another ball. A scratch causes a loss of turn.
