About

Swooshkey

Read full description

Small table. Big energy. Swooshkey brings top-down air hockey to your fingertips. Drag to move your mallet, practice against a bot, then join the worldwide arena for a match with another player. Track wins, losses, goals and match times. Climb a fresh weekly leaderboard. Pick your mallet color and draw your own design, with shared drawings reviewed before other players see them. Change the game with Ghost Shot and Double Trouble: two weekly power-ups, each usable once per match. A new table theme keeps the online arena fresh each week. Practice works without an account. Online matches require an account and an internet connection.
