🎱 Backspin Basics

Backspin Basics is built for quick, satisfying sessions that load in a heartbeat. Pot the ball and learn to pull the white back into position. Pro tip: Striking low on the cue ball draws it back after contact for easier position. Beat your best, climb the leaderboard, and fire off a quick share when you post a score worth bragging about. Whether you have five minutes or an hour, Backspin Basics keeps the fun flowing on phone, tablet or desktop. Controls stay simple so anyone can join in, and the difficulty curve stays fair while still leaving room to grow. Come back any time — your best score is always waiting to be beaten, and there is always one more run that feels within reach.

How to play

• Drag back from the white cue ball — the direction you pull sets the aim, how far you pull sets the power.
• Release to fire; the dotted guide line shows the line the cue ball will take.
• Sink the object balls into the six pockets while keeping the white cue ball out of them.
• Use the cushions and rails to bend shots around blockers and reach awkward balls.
• Clear the required balls before your shots run out to win the frame.

Controls
