The billiards game has a nice tutorial where you are informed about how the controls work. This is great as the initial tutorial helps you understand the basic controls and leaves the more advanced controls for you to figure out on your own. You can keep playing the game even if you don't understand the advanced control options available but if you are actually a good billiards player, you will always end up finding and knowing how to use the advanced game controls.

The game has a simple layout where you are essentially provided a challenge-laden path. Each level has its own unique challenge and you need to complete the challenge in order to move to the next level. The basic premise in each level is to clear the table and pocket all the balls present on it. You are provided a certain number of lifelines for each level. You consume a lifeline if you fail to pocket any ball with your shot. You also lose a lifeline if you end up pocketing the cue ball. You are offered lifelines at the start of the level and are offered bonuses on pocketing the balls at a particular pocket. There are also some fun giveaways to be won in the levels too that can make the game even more interesting.

The gameplay of Pooking – Billiards City is simplistic and consistent. There is not a huge spike in difficulty between levels and you will find difficulty rise very gradually. Some people may not even notice any changes in the game as they move on as the game usually keeps the gameplay consistent across the various levels. The number of balls to pocket rises very gradually while you are offered a great number of lifelines all the time too. You would have to play particularly poorly to not be able to clear a level on your first attempt.

The graphics in the billiards game are smooth while the physics involved is correct. The tables and their shapes keep changing in the levels and they all look authentic. The controls in the game are also simple with the control on the left of your screen controlling the speed of your shot and the control on the right controlling the direction in which you want to hit the cue ball.
