About Velvet Cue
Moody lounge pool with real physics: 8-Ball and 9-Ball vs smart AI, a 10-rival career ladder, trick shots and pass-and-play.
Chalk up in a velvet-lit lounge and play 8-Ball or 9-Ball on a table with real spin, cushions and rattling pockets. New to pool? A 2-minute hands-on lesson teaches you to aim and shoot, then you play friendly Lou. Beat ten rivals on the career ladder, clear 16 trick-shot puzzles for stars, or challenge a friend on the same device.
How to play
Use the white cue ball to knock the other balls into the pockets. A ball sunk without a foul gives you another shot (in 8-Ball, one of yours). In 8-Ball, one player takes the plain balls (1 to 7) and the other the stripes (9 to 15). Sink all of yours, then call a pocket and sink the black 8 to win the frame. After the break, sinking the 8 too early, in the wrong pocket, or on a foul loses the frame. In 9-Ball you must hit the lowest-numbered ball first, and whoever sinks the 9 without a foul wins.
On a computer, aim with the mouse and fine-tune with Shift, the mouse wheel or the arrow keys. Click, drag back and release to shoot, or hold Space and let go. W, A, S and D add spin. On a phone, tap a ball or drag on the table to aim, use the FINE wheel for small changes, and pull the POWER bar down and release.

Tips and tricks
- In the aim guide, the ghost ball shows where the white ball will be at contact, the gold line shows the target ball's path, and a red ring means that ball is not legal to hit.
- If the white ball falls in or you hit the wrong ball first, it is a foul, and the other player gets to place the white ball.
- Spin changes where the white ball goes after contact: top (follow) rolls it on, bottom (draw) pulls it back, and side (english) makes it curve.
- In trick shots, clearing the table within par earns 3 stars, one shot over earns 2, and new stars give coins.
- Coins buy cues in the Pro Shop. Better cues give a longer aim guide in casual games.
What makes it fun
Velvet Cue plays like real pool, with spin, lively cushions and rattling pockets. The Career ladder has ten rivals, and each win unlocks the next one. The 16 trick shots are short puzzles with banks, kicks and combinations.
