Mastering the Cue: How to Play

The beauty of Tiny Billiard lies in its elegant simplicity. The controls are intuitive, designed to get you straight to the strategic heart of the game.

• Aim Your Shot: Simply move your mouse or cursor around the cue ball to line up your angle of attack. The guide line will show you the projected path of the ball.
• Set the Power: Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag your cursor away from the cue ball. The further you drag, the more power you'll put into the shot.
• Take the Shot: Release the mouse button to strike the cue ball and watch the physics unfold.

The Straight Dope: Your Tiny Billiard Questions Answered

Is this a realistic pool simulator?

While it features a surprisingly robust physics engine, Tiny Billiard is less of a hyper-realistic simulator and more of a minimalist puzzle game. It distills the most satisfying elements of billiards—geometry, strategy, and precision—into a series of expertly crafted challenges. The focus is on solving the puzzle of each table with perfect shot-making, not recreating a real-world pub match.

I'm stuck on a really difficult level. Any tips?

Absolutely. The first tip is to think several shots ahead. Don't just focus on the easiest ball to pocket; consider where your cue ball will end up. Use the walls for bank shots and learn to control the power of your strike to set up your next move. Sometimes, the best strategy is to step away for a moment to clear your head. If you need a break, you can find a wealth of other engaging titles in our collection of fun games that offer a different kind of challenge.

Are there any hidden tricks or advanced techniques?

Yes! The true depth in Tiny Billiard comes from mastering the subtle art of "English" or side-spin, though the game doesn't explicitly label it. By striking the cue ball slightly off-center, you can alter its trajectory after it makes contact with another ball or a rail. Experiment with hitting different points on the cue ball to see how it changes your post-contact positioning. Mastering this is key to conquering the later, more complex stages.
