Glitchy and Expensive
I am sorry I paid $25 to buy this game. Glitchy garbage. The screen scrambles and I’m suddenly no longer holding the puck.

Fun game! But..
It’s a fun game, with cool powers and ways to upgrade the players, shooting feels really good. The names are quirky, checking feels good, and there are ways for skill expression. The star system is cool, rewarding good play, and I like the way fights were incorporated. I’m enjoying the base system that’s here. I do have some issues.
The first one is related to the monetization. The ads are very frequent, and some are quite long. That wouldn’t be a problem on its own, there’s an option to buy the ads away… $25 CAD is way too steep just to stop seeing ads in my opinion. Not to mention that there are free things you can get by watching ads and plenty of micro transactions already, making me pay that much just to stop seeing ads after games feels like overkill.
My next issue is lesser, but I still wanted to bring it up. I used 100 of my coins to play in an event, which is 20 wins for the biggest prize. Most steps (each win) is 100xp (for 100 coins you can get 1500xp in the shop by the way) I won 2 games for 200 xp then get matched with someone who’s players are double the power to mine and I get wiped. You can buy more lives with coins, but the second life instead of 100 coins is now 500 coins. I am not going to fall for the same trick twice for more than double the cost.
The event did not feel fair in the slightest, I used my coins to get 14% of the shop offer- then immediately matched up against a team I had a tiny sliver of a chance to win against on the 3rd step of a 20 win ladder, then to buy back in you need to pay up (seemingly) exponentially. Feels like it links back into monetization which encourages you to pay more.

I’m tempted to pay for the ad-free version but the game is unreliable. It shuts down frequently. Also, the match-ups can be so lopsided.

The graphics might not be the best but the game play it absolutely insane. W
