### 4/5 — Nice Game!

*2023-04-23*

Add sound and you’ve got a winner!

### 4/5 — Fun. Challenge

*2021-04-01, version 1.2.2*

Fun game.  But I do wonder is there sound? This game on my phone is quiet as a mouse. Also there is a lack of consist control when you slide the disk.

### 3/5 — Good fun, excellent touch and feel..

*2009-11-27, version 0*

...to this game. I really like how the developer has maintained the look and feel of a real, old-fashioned, barroom shuffleboard set. I can almost hear the jukebox, smell the cigarette smoke, and taste the pitcher of beer....nice job!!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2009-07-02, version 0*

This app is a great shuffleboard simulator and play well with few if any bugs.

### 3/5 — Good

*2009-06-07, version 0*

This is what I was looking for except the puck flys off the table too much. But with bumpers the game is good

### 4/5 — Well done!

*2009-01-27, version 0*

The physics of the game are an excellent approximation of the actual game. 

A couple suggestions:  A settings page to allow the user to set default play levels. It's a pain to have to re-select them each game.

A "slickness" setting (perhaps with a slider bar) to adjust the speed of the table. This would allow for nearly unlimited variations of game play. 

All in all a well done game worth the money.

Edit: One small issue: The table slows a bit as more and more weghts are left on the table. An empty table takes very little effort to run off the end. With a full load of weights, the same "throw" force will barely get the weight close to the 2 line. 

Also, the play to 15 level seems to run much slower between screen re-draws.

Perhaps these can be addressed in the next update.

### 5/5 — not fancy fun, but great fun

*2009-01-02, version 0*

This is one of those games that I just keep coming back to. It requires some skill and is great quick fun. Not the fanciest graphics, but who cares?

### 5/5 — A "Wii" game that works!

*2009-01-01, version 0*

Shufflepuck uses a swipe to launch the puck down the board.  This game does it right!  Different swipe techniques yield significantly different results.  It all works because I feel I'm actually in control of where the puck goes.  Lots of fun.  I'm becoming very impressed with Giraffe Lab as a quality app developer.  The app has all sorts of nice polish on it.  If you don't to wait for the puck to stop moving, simply tap the screen again to see the final location.  The app is silent so it could benefit by adding sound effects for the pucks sliding and colliding.  Overall a recommended buy!

### 5/5 — Get it now

*2008-12-29, version 0*

It's a great game try it in real life too

### 5/5 — 5 stars for one of the best 2-player games out there

*2008-12-28, version 0*

Great game.  Wouldn't mind seeing a future option for different puck camera styles so you see a little closer to the action.  But I would make it an option as some people might like it just the way it is now.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2008-12-28, version 0*

extremely fun and good controls.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It is so so

*2022-05-24, version 1.2.2*

Wal not to good good blessings

### 1/5 — I hated this

*2012-07-14, version 1.2.0*

I deleted it in 4 mins

I could not get the puck to go straight at all.  No fun at all. Should not be so hard

### 1/5 — Don't buy it

*2011-12-14, version 1.2.0*

This game moves the puck unfairly. Extremely frustrating!!!! Not worth .99.    Hate it!!!! Want my husband to like it, but doesn't! Can't blame him

### 1/5 — VS computer is too hard, frustrating, unfair

*2011-07-20, version 1.2.0*

I've played this game for about a week, only have won 3 times. Would be more enjoyable if computer doesn't knock you off every time you get a good shot.

### 1/5 — Too abstract, weird perspective

*2009-08-30, version 0*

Just too abstract. Shuffleboard is suspended in space. No feeling of reality. Physics seem highly doubtful-pucks just continue moving much too long. Can't recommend.

### 1/5 — Super Lame

*2009-03-17, version 0*

This game should be called "Shuffle Vacuum" because playing it is about as compelling as playing in a vacuum - complete with zero sound that completes the vacuum experience. I give it one star only because negative 5 stars is not an option! It may be $2 but does not make up for the time sapped from this disaster. Oh and the graphics look like spent vomit.

### 1/5 — Seriously? No.

*2009-03-17, version 0*

This game is pretty sad. Pucks fly off into space? the graphics rival Atari at best and there is a serious flaw in gameplay. All you have to do is press down on the puck, bring it up to the middle line and let go...soooooo bad.

### 2/5 — Frustrating App

*2014-01-30, version 1.2.0*

There is no way to master throwing the weight in the correct decision, when you try to move weight left to right it throws it short. If there was a way to move left to right and aim in direction you want to shoot then flick it for speed this app would be great. Playing the game without bumpers is impossible. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

### 2/5 — Can't win

*2011-08-13, version 1.2.0*

Would be fun but it is rigged to knock your good shots off the board. Almost always. I've won once in a week. I'm going to delete it.

### 2/5 — This is NOT Shufflepuck!

*2008-10-23, version 0*

Shufflepuck was a classic game for older Macs that was once extremely popular. That game was very similar to air hockey. This is a shuffle board game that has nothing to do with the real Shufflepuck.

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2024-05-15*

After playing for months I managed to beat the computer 1 or 2 out of 5 on the “hard” difficulty. A lot of fun!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-12-27, version 1.2.0*

Brings back memories. Handles well

### 5/5 — Cool

*2012-01-02, version 1.2.0*

Very addictive and challenging.

### 5/5 — Just like shuffleboard from the 1950's!

*2011-12-27, version 1.2.0*

..nice simple app…easy to play…can almost smell the sawdust! Some bar sounds and character avatar's would be great to add atmosphere!

### 5/5 — Fun, Fun, Fun

*2011-07-06, version 1.2.0*

Between chess with friends and this game my wife and I have been entertained all week. Thanks for the great game!

### 5/5 — So very real!

*2009-09-18, version 0*

I am hesitant to buy apps. more than $.99, but this is well worth it! Extremely life like!

### 5/5 — Great execution of a classic game

*2009-09-08, version 0*

No complaints. In addition to being a flawless execution of this challenging pub game, it's also great for two players.This was one of the first games I installed when the App Store launched, and it remains one of the ONLY games I haven't gotten tired of and deleted after all this time.

### 5/5 — Better Than The Real Thing!

*2009-05-12, version 0*

This app plays like a real shuffle board!  It is one of my personal favorites and I give it the highest rating possible.

### 5/5 — awesome

*2009-02-06, version 0*

This app is one of my favorites.  it is an awesome multiplayer game and i never get tired of it.

### 5/5 — Buy it

*2009-01-26, version 0*
