That causes me to leave the app and do other things instead of playing and making you money without the energy this game would be very addicting ### 2/5 — Energy *2020-11-22, version 1.3.1* I think the developers already understand how much the energy system is trash. How is that even remotely fun? ### 4/5 — Fun game *2020-11-15, version 1.3.1* Fun game but it drains my battery so badly. ### 4/5 — Player vs player *2020-11-13, version 1.3.1* Great game but you should be able to play other people not just cpu ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lazy design *2021-09-08, version 1.3.4* This is an arcade game first and a hockey game second. The only thing that makes it a ‘hockey game’ is the name itself. They could easily reskin this to be a soccer game and it wouldn’t feel any different. The abilities are fun but when you can only play 3 games (which is only 6 minutes total for 3 games) before needing an energy recharge, you’re better off not installing. The AI is dogwater and the goalies are glorified mannequins that can easily be knocked out the way or bypassed completely with a fully charged shot. Time gated content is the sign of a lazy developers. ### 1/5 — This game cheats *2021-03-06, version 1.3.4* When you win a few games then they make it to where you can’t touch the puck or your teammates go backwards instead of going forward so you can pass it to them. And a lot of times your guy won’t move so the other team will have plenty of time to steal the puck away from you. It was fun but you will notice how this game cheats not worth the time or money on this ### 1/5 — Way too easy to be fun *2020-12-16, version 1.3.2* Game is far too easy, almost comically easy ### 1/5 — Get out of the business *2020-12-01, version 1.3.2* This game is so fixed,,,,,,if I’m winning,,,, it never lets me touch the puck again,,,,,,,garbage game fixed on spending mad cash,,,you people are sick.....get the f%%%k out of the business ### 2/5 — Ads *2023-07-15* Get rid of ads please thanks ### 2/5 — Meh *2023-01-21, version 1.3.4* Could be fun but not enough play time without spending money there’s not enough here to make me want to pay. ### 2/5 — Unclear ho to unlock players *2022-01-15, version 1.3.4* I’ve unlocked everyone except the players who need 133 to unlock and there is 0 indication of how to unlock these people. ### 2/5 — More energy *2021-10-20, version 1.3.4* The game only gives you 9 energy and it costs you 3 energy to start a match and I hate it you can give us more energy or make it only 1 energy use ### 2/5 — Energy *2021-02-25, version 1.3.4* This game was so much fun. The shooting and passing a defending all great, but the stamina system is terrible and only lets you play a couple of games. ### 2/5 — Energy System is Garbage *2021-01-20, version 1.3.3* Gameplay is fun and engaging and the character progression seems to be achievable even for FTP players, but the energy system alone is almost enough to make me delete the game. Three games at a time with an incredibly long recharge rate? Having to watch 3 ads just to be able to play one two minute game? Underlying ridiculous. The system needs to be revised ASAP. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game is good but… *2022-06-02, version 1.3.4* I can tell you this is copy wrighted it’s just like hockey all starts the goal music the celebrations all copy wrighted yep this game is good I’ll give it a 5 stars but don’t copy wright have a good day :) ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-12-22, version 1.3.4* I love the game it’s so good 😃😃😃😃😃 ### 5/5 — !!!!! *2021-08-12, version 1.3.4* ??????🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-03-02, version 1.3.4* THIS GAME IS AWESOME ### 5/5 — Arcade hockey is super fun but if you ad hockey fights *2020-12-27, version 1.3.3* So after face offs you can fight ### 5/5 — Hey bro can you come by my room *2020-12-23, version 1.3.3* Hi ### 5/5 — Good *2020-11-21, version 1.3.1* Best game out on the App Store for hockey I just wish I wouldn’t have to wait to play ### 5/5 — It’s decent *2020-11-16, version 1.3.1* Since there’s no hockey games its pretty good ### 4/5 — Good but *2021-08-19, version 1.3.4* So when I first started playing I loved it. Until I was out of energy.
