One Timer is a neon arcade hockey game built for quick runs, clean shots, and one-more-try score chasing. Drag the mallet below the blue line, time your shot, and send each puck toward the goal. Double-tap to serve another puck and keep the run moving. Every mode is short, sharp, and built around getting a little better each time. Play five score-chasing modes: Blitz: score 30 color-matched goals as fast as you can. Rush: score as many color-matched goals as possible in 60 seconds. Overview: score as many color-matched goals as possible in 30 seconds. +1 second for a goal, -2 seconds for a miss. Chase: hit a sliding target before the clock runs out. Cross Fire: aim for moving point zones and build a bigger total. High Wire: track vertical goals and score more when they climb higher. Gauntlet: 5 lives Every shot matters. Goals spark neon bursts, streaks raise the pressure, and misses can break your rhythm. Local bests track your top runs, while Game Center leaderboards let you chase faster times, higher totals, cleaner shots, and longer streaks. Features: - Fast one-thumb arcade hockey - Five modes for time, goals, moving targets, and points - Neon rink visuals with glowing goals, puck bursts, and screen shake - Local bests for your strongest runs - Game Center leaderboards for score competition - Haptics and arcade sound effects for every shot, goal, and buzzer
