Gameplay
The game is a 3D pool game, featuring 13 different play modes.[3] Players can set the speed of the balls before they start a match.[4] Players use the d-pad to aim and to adjust the power of their shots, and can adjust the spin and angle of their shots as well.[4] Players can preview where the ball will land after a shot, and can change the camera angle to have a better idea of the playing field.[5]
The game includes ad-hoc local multiplayer.[4]
Every time the player wins a match, they unlock a new table, cue stick, set of balls, or an erotic image or video of one of the various models presented in the game,[4] which can be viewed using a basic gallery feature.[5]
