YOU ARE THE CUE BALL

There is no table. There is no gravity. There is just you — a billiard ball with the camera living inside it — floating in a sealed arena, and a rack of targets waiting to be sunk. You never hold a cue. You fire pulses of energy… and Newton fires you right back. Every shot shoves you backward with an equal and opposite kick, and that recoil is your only way to move. Aim, fire, drift, line up the next one.

NOTHING EVER SLOWS DOWN

The arena has no air, no friction, no floor to settle onto. A ball you set moving stays moving until it strikes something — and then it hands that speed straight to whatever it hit. So the longer a rack runs, the faster and wilder it gets. Every game is a single, escalating level: a window of control that steadily closes. Clear the rack before the chaos clears you. Get sunk yourself — a scratch — and you lose a life.

AIM IS A SKILL, NOT A GUARANTEE

Because nothing is ever at rest, a struck ball doesn't just go where you point — it goes where your shot plus its own drift send it. Lock onto a target and the game draws you the honest line: where the ball will actually travel, live, as you hold your charge. A light tap follows the ball's own course; a full charge overrides it. Learn to hold, watch the line swing across a pocket, and fire.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY

• One Player — break, clear the rack, survive the escalation. Lose all your lives and it's game over.
  
• Vs Bot — a best-of-three 8-ball match on a live table: solids vs stripes, unlimited shots, all luck and timing.
  
• Two-Player Hot-Seat — the same match, one couch, two players. The winner gets to dress the table for the rematch.

A GASLIT PARLOUR ADRIFT IN SPACE

The arena wears a vintage gaslit billiard-parlour look — black slate and aged gold, ornate lettering, filigree corner reinforcers in copper, bronze, silver and gold framing every pocket. The menus are the carnival cabinet the whole thing sits inside: green baize under chasing marquee bulbs, dimensional sign lettering, and the rack tumbling in 3D behind the panel.
