🎱 Shooting Pool
A tighter single-player pool bubble shooter. Fewer cue shots, a fuller starting rack.
How to play
- Move your mouse (or use the Left/Right arrow keys) to aim, then click or press Space to shoot.
- Land your ball to connect 3 or more of the same number and pop the whole group.
- Every shot uses up one of your limited cue shots, whether it pops something or not.
- Clear every ball on the felt before you run out of shots to rack up a fresh table.
- Each new rack starts with a couple more rows and slightly fewer shots, down to a floor of 10.
The tighter, single-player pool challenge
Shooting Pool runs on the exact same pool-table bubble-shooter engine as Billiard Bubble Parlor, but tuned for a genuinely harder single-player challenge from the very first rack. You start with only 18 cue shots instead of 24, and that floor drops to 10 instead of 14 as you clear racks, so there's real pressure to make every shot count. Each rack also starts fuller, 7 rows instead of 6, giving you slightly more to clear with slightly less room for error.
The table itself gets a fresh look too: burgundy felt and dark wood rails instead of the standard green, with a new set of five numbered balls, 6 through 10, instead of 1 through 5. The rules haven't changed, match 3 or more of the same number to pop them, no danger line, just a strict shot budget, but the tighter numbers make this the version for players who've already cleared a few racks on the standard table and want more of a real test.

Frequently asked questions
How is Shooting Pool different from Billiard Bubble Parlor?
It's a tighter single-player challenge on the same engine: you start with 18 cue shots instead of 24 (down to a floor of 10 instead of 14), and each rack starts with 7 rows instead of 6, so there's less margin to waste a shot from the very first rack.
What happens when I clear a rack?
A fresh rack sets up with a couple more starting rows, and your next rack has slightly fewer shots to work with, down to a floor of 10, so each rack gets a little tighter.
How do I aim and shoot?
Move your mouse or use the Left/Right arrow keys to aim, then click or press Space to shoot.
Is Shooting Pool free with no account needed?
