This is a basic pool game with several options for different styles of play including a tournament mode but there is no story or adventure included. It is very simplistic and works like a pool simulator using the DS touch screen to play for a few minutes of fun.
Gameplay[]
There are options for a short game (single frame mode), practice mode, challenge mode or a full tournament. There are also options for wireless multiplayer head-to-head or doubles matches. There are various customisations available including 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10 ball, straight pool and rotation play styles with both US and UK rule sets.
The gameplay itself is controlled using the DS touch screen by tapping and holding on a picture of the ball. The ball when hit will move differently depending on the angle you hit the ball shown on the screen, intending to give a realistic game feel by allowing more complex hit angles.
