About

A casual cue sport game where you try to play 15-ball billiards in your basement, but you keep getting interrupted by your friends and family. 100 points are awarded for each ball sunk. Bonus points and penalties equal to the square root of your current score can be earned by performing certain actions in the game. 

The game is designed to be playable with only the mouse. 

Left-click: Action
Right-click: Pause
Scroll wheel: Rotate

The game also incorporates the following themes from prior GGJs: "What home means to you", and "Roots".
