### 4/5 — Really good

*2025-12-23, version 1.4.2*

Fix 2 player and maybe add lobby creating where yo change settings

### 2/5 — 2 Player Bad

*2025-11-27, version 1.4.2*

Got this for 2 player. Barely works. Can’t have two fingers on screen at the same time.

### 2/5 — Glitch’s

*2025-04-08, version 1.4.2*

The game itself is pretty much good but my friend and I want to play two players together but it would not move for us 😭😭😭😭😭big let down so ya would could not play😡😡😡😡😞😞😞

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2024-07-23, version 1.4.2*

I thought the story was going to take me into an air hockey adventure full of opponents and challenge, but no. The first thing I get is the worst AI in an air hockey game! The story is all fake, you don't play a giant squid to save your city. In fact, the story has nothing to do with the game. It's just a normal, regular air hockey game. The only reason why this isn't one star is because I like how you can change the paddle size, or even the amount of pucks on the ice. And I can make the computer harder.

### 2/5 — Hard tocomtrol paddle

*2024-03-27, version 1.4.2*

Hard to control  paddle on thr game

### 4/5 — Carino!

*2024-01-23*

Gioco carino e per niente impegnativo, talmente leggero che si apre istantaneamente, con poca pubblicità e una bella estetica, ben fatto😊

### 4/5 — its air hockey

*2023-02-27, version 1.2*

no more no less it is egzactly what it is avritizing

### 4/5 — AI needs work

*2022-11-16, version 1.4.2*

It’s a great game but when doing 1 player it is just too easy to score a shot. The AI barely moves at all, it should be proactively be moving left and right as I move my disc around so as to anticipate the shot and maintain close proximity to the goal to block the incoming puck. Instead the AI just sits there in one spot until the puck passes the midline but in most cases it is already to late for it to block. Please work on this, the game has soooo much potential but as of now playing against the AI feels more like target practice than actually versing an opponent.

### 3/5 — Mechanics need work

*2021-08-06, version 1.4.1*

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 that’s not realistic. I noticed the harder you have the difficulty, the more inaccurate the game mechanics are, which is how you lose.

### 3/5 — It's OK

*2021-06-10, version 1.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Bruh

*2021-06-09, version 1.4.1*

### 3/5 — 🏒

### 1/5 — CRASHES

*2026-07-12, version 1.4.2*

after the add following each round, the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Not working for 2 players

*2026-06-29, version 1.4.2*

The whole reason to get this game is to play with someone, and it’s not working…

### 1/5 — Not meant for 2 players, misleading

*2024-07-06*

The controller will not work when two player play at the same time. So game is only for single player.

### 1/5 — To easy

*2024-06-17, version 1.4.2*

Way to easy one star boring

### 1/5 — Je me suis fait bz le cul par le bot

*2023-09-08*

Le bot est trop chaud

### 1/5 — Multi touch doesn’t work

*2023-08-26, version 1.4.2*

Can’t play 2-player mode

### 1/5 — Stürzt immer ab

*2023-07-24*

Nach der Werbung stürzt das Spiel immer ab.

### 1/5 — it bad

*2021-08-05, version 1.2*

it bad

### 1/5 — Bad controls

*2021-03-27, version 1.2*

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.

### 1/5 — One caveat

*2020-09-03, version 1.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Non buggy and fun

*2025-11-24, version 1.4.2*

It’s pretty good, could do with no ads tho
Suggestion, make the ads banners in the menu instead of videos that interrupt the game.
Overall nice game👍
