How to play
- Drag on the table to turn the cue. The dotted line shows where the white ball goes, curves and all.
- Drag in the ring around the white ball for fine aim. Tap the white ball button to add draw, follow or side spin.
- Pull the power bar and let go to shoot. Planets pull every rolling ball: aim wide and let the pull bend it in.
- 8-ball: pot your group (solids or stripes), then the 8 in the pocket you call. A foul gives ball in hand.
- Trick tables: pot the numbered balls in order in as few strokes as you can. Par with no scratch earns 3 stars.
Controls
- Phone or tablet: Drag on the table to aim (near the white ball for fine aim), pull the power bar and let go to shoot, tap the white ball button for spin.
- Mouse: Drag on the table to aim, drag the power bar and let go to shoot; click the white ball button for spin.
- Keyboard: ← → aim (hold Shift for fine aim), ↑ ↓ set the power, W A S D add spin, Space shoots, C calls the pocket, H shows a hint, R restarts, Esc pauses.
- Gamepad: The left stick aims, the right trigger sets the power, the right stick adds spin, A shoots.
Tips
- Aim wide of a planet, not at it: the pull bends the white ball in, and the dotted line shows exactly how far.
- A little draw stops the white ball dead on a straight hit; more draw brings it back toward you.
- A slow ball bends more than a fast one. Soft shots near a planet curve the most.
- In the later worlds the moons move between shots, so look where a moon will be before you plan two shots ahead.
About this game
Orbit Pool is a real 8 ball pool game with one big difference: little planets sit on the table, and every rolling ball feels their pull. The white ball curves around a moon, an object ball bends toward a gas giant, and a shot that looks blocked can arc past the 8 and drop your last stripe. The curved aim line shows the whole trip before you shoot, because it is worked out with the same physics as the shot itself.

The pool is the real thing too. Balls slide, then roll. Draw brings the white ball back, follow sends it on, side spin changes how it comes off the rail, and the cushions and pocket jaws behave like a good table's. Drag on the table to aim, drag near the white ball for fine aim, set the spin and pull the power bar.
Start with five short lessons, then the 8-ball ladder opens: Bronze to Legend against five friendly crew robots, Rover, Nova, Orbit, Quasar and Zenith, each better than the last, on tables with more and bigger planets. Sixty trick tables in six worlds ask you to pot the balls in order in as few strokes as you can, with moons that move between shots in the later worlds. There is a new Daily Table every day (the same for everyone, three tries), snooker frames against the bots, and pass-and-play for two on one device: 8-ball, snooker, or Duel the Daily.
Win to unlock cues, ball sets, cloth colors and table frames, and fill your Planet Log with every kind of orbit pot: the slingshot, the double bend, the bank and bend, the moon shot. Nothing to buy, free in your browser.
