Pot all fifteen balls and beat your best time
Pop's Billiards is solo pool played against a stopwatch. A full rack of fifteen numbered balls waits on a green six-pocket table, and you have one cue ball to send every one of them down. The bar along the top shows your three lives, the running time and the balls potted so far, while Best Time and Last Time sit beneath the table.
How to play Pop's Billiards
- Press play to face a fresh rack of fifteen balls with the clock running.
- Aim the cue at the cue ball and choose how hard to strike it, watching the power meter on the right edge.
- Release to shoot, then line up the next pot from wherever the cue ball stops.
- Sink every numbered ball to stop the clock and record your time, keeping an eye on the LIFE counter as you go.
Controls
| Mouse / touch drag | Aim the cue and set the shot power |
|---|---|
| Release | Strike the cue ball |
Tips to play better
- Break firmly so the rack spreads out and leaves easy pots instead of a tight cluster.
- Take the balls sitting near pockets first and save long cross-table shots for when nothing simpler is open.
- Softer shots often save time overall, because the cue ball stays near the middle of the table for your next attempt.
- When a ball is blocked, bank the cue ball off a cushion to reach it rather than forcing a risky straight line.

Pop's Billiards FAQ
What do Best Time and Last Time mean?
Last Time is how long your most recent rack took to clear. Best Time is your fastest clear so far, and it is the number to beat.
How do I get a faster clear time?
Plan one shot ahead. Leaving the cue ball close to the next easy pot saves the seconds you would otherwise spend lining up awkward angles.
