Mechanics need work

I love this game however the way the puck moves is not accurate. When u hit the puck many times, the puck actually wraps around in a way thatโ€™s not realistic. I noticed the harder you have the difficulty, the more inaccurate the game mechanics are, which is how you lose.

It's OK

Controls are intersting. Only good for people who have been playing air hockey (in real life) for a long time. Needs good internet to not lag.

The puck does something weird though. When you hit it at the right angle and speed, it circles around your paddle and flings itself where ever it wants.

I like it. It's fun. But some issues.

Bruh

Bruh so good

Mostly entertaining but physics wrong

The software mimics air hockey, but it does not follow real physics. Intead of the puck travelling in a direction relative to how you hit it and at the speed relative to your paddle speed, the puck will sometimes loop around your paddle, as if it had an attraction to it. And this happens as far as I can tell unpredictibly- sometimes looping all the way around the paddle, sometimes only partially, and sometimes not at all. I wish we were at least given the option to have the game follow real physics.

Bad controls

This gome features some of the worst interpretation of trackpad to game control that I've ever experienced.

This game could have been pretty good if the user control weren't so naive and inconsiderate.

As a programmer, I know that it's possible and sometimes _neccessary_ to compensate for how an API function works. The implentation could and should easily be better.

One caveat

you can move the mouse outside the game window and you have no control. mouse should stay locked with in window while puck is in motion

And the trajectory on the hits are off, the puck goes around the paddle and angles are incorrect.
