Im suprised its still even on the app store and i hope it gets the love it needs. I Remember it being great ### 3/5 — Screen Issues IPhone 16proMax *2025-03-06* Been a player of this game for years. However there seems to be a bug that is causing the screen to be black or pixilated on one side and normal on the other. Weird. Hope there’s a patch! ### 4/5 — Black squares *2025-01-27, version 1.5.0* Games good played it as a kid a lot. Got a new iPhone and downloaded it and the graphics are buggy where a quarter of the rink is black and can’t see the puck ### 4/5 — Update overdue *2023-10-09, version 1.5.0* I love this app but it is very much overdue for an update. ### 2/5 — Cool graphics awful controls *2020-11-28, version 1.5.0* Was super excited to play. Graphics were great but the controls are way too wonky to be fun. The players actually seem to the opposite of what feels natural when shooting. Oh well, only $2 so chalk it up to a waste of money. ### 4/5 — Stats Still Not Working at All on iPad Mini 2 *2019-12-11, version 1.5.0* Running 12.4.3 on iPad Mini 2; and stats do not display - just a bunch of lines. Meanwhile, on my iPhone 5S and 12.4.3, stats never stopped working! You KNOW I’d much rather play on the Mini; why can’t you fix it? It’s a black mark on an otherwise nearly perfect game! Come on, guys? Please? 😧 ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect.. *2019-03-26, version 1.5.0* Please update it to make the game play more like the (Canada Table Hockey Game) I play that one more often because the game plays better.. i Still love this game bcuz i can make my own team but i feel it needs a little touch up on the players movement and the little player movement assists like Canada hockey game has would make it very very helpful and would make this game alot better to play.. and please offer better camara views the views that it offers now make the game meh aggravating to play.. ### 3/5 — No good on older model iPads *2018-03-18, version 1.5.0* Play on an iPad mini on iOS 9.3.5 update (since I can't update any higher). Love the game but since the last update for game, camera angles seem too far away to see gameplay, create team logos are warped and way too distorted. Haven't played much since and it's a shame. ### 4/5 — Great Job *2017-12-22, version 1.5.0* Brings back all the goodies. Now....just have to get the STATS option working again and you’ve got a bingo. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2017-03-08, version 1.4.5* Hard to put down once the controls are mastered. Customizing teams is a nice touch. More multiplayer options would knock this game out of the park but still worth the 2 bucks! ### 2/5 — So much potential for this game *2016-12-09, version 1.4.5* I love this game. I got it back in 2010 and it was the coolest game ever and still makes its way onto every one of my iPhones. Now it's outdated. The hard level is not nearly hard enough and I continue to win every game even with a manual goalie. The tournament mode could be more advanced. The stats could be improved as well. Hockey stats don't separate regular wins from OT wins. The whole app can just be more technically advanced. Perhaps creating a league. ### 4/5 — Super Chex Bubble Hockey for Your iOS Device *2016-09-01, version 1.4.5* As a kid I was a huge fan of the dome hockey game at arcades. The real deal tables cost about $3000 and at the moment that is just way out of my price range. Luckily, I came across this app when searching for air hockey games. I was a little concerned that this game hadn't been updated in quite some time but on my iPad 4 with iOS 9 it works fine. Well worth the two dollars for admission. Now obviously the real table has better controls than a touchscreen device but you get the hang of it after a while. The physics feel realistic. The sounds are nice and I love the instant replay future. I'm looking forward to playing this on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with someone else. This is a very well-designed and well thought out video game. I definitely recommend it if you were a fan of the real thing at the arcade. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was great. Now buggy *2026-05-16, version 1.5.0* Wonderful game but they aren’t keeping up with iOS updates. The camera is now crazy amd the game in unplayable on iPhone. I keep checking but I guess they abandoned this game. ### 1/5 — Was great *2026-01-29, version 1.5.0* Was great until the update stop coming in ### 1/5 — NEEDS UPDATE PLEASE!!! *2024-12-07, version 1.5.0* Great game but no longer works well, please update! 5 stars after update I’m sure ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPad *2024-05-29, version 1.5.0* Black lines and black screens. Does not work well with the iPad. Please update the app for iPads. ### 1/5 — Don’t expect an update *2024-05-19, version 1.5.0* I have e-mailed stinger games to inquire as to whether there will ever be another update for this game. No response. Going on almost 6 years without any improvements. Inexcusable I noticed in the reviews I am not the only one with a stats issue for the ipad in terms of no stats being shown, just gray lines The game worked fine on my iPhone 12 I was due for an upgrade after a few years and went to the 15 Pro. Sure enough the game has a glitchy screen and is basically unusable since it’s hard to see For the people who have posted about difficult controls, I get it. But once I practiced enough. I got the hang of it They need to read their reviews - positive and negative - to get a feel for what their customers /fans of the game want I want to give this app 5 stars again, but until improvements are made for US the customers/fans, I will not Have a safe and happy holidays everyone! ### 1/5 — Don’t expect an update *2023-12-17* I have e-mailed stinger games to inquire as to whether there will ever be another update for this game.

I’m surprised it still functions despite being outdated ### 1/5 — Not the best hockey game ever *2021-07-16, version 1.5.0* Multiplayer doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — If your look for 1-2 minutes of unrelenting frustration this is your source. *2014-12-30, version 1.4.5* First Apple please show the name of the app and the information while writing reviews. Overall 1 ⭐️ It's not new, and the only thing unique about it is the horrible controls. Just trying to move the puck up the ice from defense to mid will use up your 2 minute time allotment and you will be frustrated. Perhaps there is a trick to how to control the players but they don't show you. Maybe if they added wii mote support it might improve. Uniqueness or new Twist None Fun factor and Replay Ability None ### 1/5 — Won't load *2014-01-25, version 1.4.5* W ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Screen Issues IPhone 16proMax *2025-10-29, version 1.5.0* Been a player of this game for years. However there seems to be a bug that is causing the screen to be black or pixilated on one side and normal on the other. 10/28/25 update - happy to say the app is working for me again ! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-02-09, version 1.5.0* Best game of all time ### 5/5 — Топ *2019-05-27* Спасибо за игру ### 5/5 — The best hockey game *2019-01-18, version 1.5.0* This is by far the best hockey game on mobile. This game is filled with nostalgia for me and quality graphics that suit the game. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-01-31, version 1.5.0* Thank you for doing the update. Been playing this game forever. Great job on it by the way. ### 5/5 — Years of play *2016-02-22, version 1.4.5* I first played this game in 2010 on my iPod touch. I last played it today on my iPhone 6s. It's one of a very few games that has been present on every device as I've upgraded and switched since 2010. I think the controls are so well done for a touchscreen rod hockey game. And I basically never get tired of this game. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — 🏒Excellence!!! 🇨🇦 *2016-01-28, version 1.4.5* This game is beautiful, I'm absolutely loving it! I grew up on table top Hockey...I couldn't see how you could replicate the control action, yes it all seems strange and even frustrating at first...but be PATIENT, just pay attention to the tutorial, stay cool...let it happen. After awhile without even noticing I found myself savagely immersed in my first game and it all felt like I was playing the real deal...not sure how or why, but it all feels good to me. Extra nice that I can choose the Soviets, I'm them a lot....shhhhhh, don't tell nobody. As for NHL teams...I was so hoping this game would include them....that's where the beauty of customizising comes into play, just go find the logos online, save them in photos....have fun, I know I sure is! 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2014-12-16, version 1.4.5* This game is fun and entertaining. The greatest feature is the customization, which allows you to essentially create any and all NHL teams with a couple of pictures and editing capabilities. Will keep you busy and coming back for more! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-10-08, version 1.4.5* Exactly what I wanted, challenging at first but it gets much easier with practice. I wish it had an online mode so you could play with other people instead of just the computer all the time. ### 5/5 — Excellent table top experience on the go. *2014-07-16, version 1.4.5* It took a few games to get the hang of the controls and what settings worked, but after playing a few games the game had me hooked. I would recommend some of the following changes to enhance your experience: Puck - grippy Camera - fixed Spin - 50 Controls - dual touch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
