The briefing

About this game

3D Snooker is a snooker simulation designed around accurate ball physics. Players control the game entirely with the mouse, setting shot strength, cue-ball contact for side and backspin, and aiming direction.

The game includes in-game help explaining its physics, sound effects, a boss key, and a computer opponent with three skill levels. Players can undo a shot or reposition the balls to practise trick shots. There is no high-score feature, end-of-game statistics, or sighting-line assistance.
