Blast Billiards 4 is the fourth installment of the popular Blast Billiards skill sports game series. As with the original, the player must hit bombs into pockets on a billiards table designed with purple baize.
The game features 15 levels of play with unique challenges. For example, on the first level, the player must still knock all the bombs on the table into the pockets before 100 seconds run out. Yet, in this edition, the bombs are red instead of black. The player must still charge the cue stick with a red power bar to hit the bombs.
The player receives penalties. They lose five seconds if they fail to hit a bomb. That said, they also receive a bonus if they pot the black non-bomb ball last. If they fail, the game explodes.
Blast Billiards 4 also continues the tradition of requiring the player to direct the cue ball by first selecting their intended bomb target. If they attempt to position the cut stick without selecting the bomb, the stick swings around in different directions with even the slightest movement of a mouse, fingertip or stylus, causing the player to lose time.
