New mode: Snooker.

  • A real 12-ft snooker table: smaller balls (52.5 mm), tighter pockets, the baulk line and the D, and spots for every colour.
  • Full rules:
    • 15 reds and six colours, played red, then a colour. The colour you hit first is your nominated ball.
    • Colours are respotted while reds remain, then taken in order from yellow to black.
    • A foul gives at least 4 points to the opponent (or the value of the ball on or the ball involved), and an in-off gives ball in hand in the D.
    • Level scores after the black: the black is respotted.
    • Matches are played as best-of frames.
  • Smart HUD: the ball on, your current break, your best break, points remaining, and a SNOOKERS NEEDED warning when the deficit is bigger than what's left on the table.
  • Snooker AI: it values the points swing, so it goes for the black and avoids fouls. It plays safety exchanges, opens with a safe break-off from the D instead of a power break, and concedes a frame it can no longer win.
