Shuffleboard Master is a game of skill. It's a realistic 3D simulation of the real table game. You have full control over the puck - speed, direction, and point of release. That means it'll take some practice to play well. Hone your skill against the 7 levels of A.I. opponent as you advance from Beginner to Zen Master, and beyond. A.I. OPPONENTS There are 7 levels of A.I. to beat. They get more accurate as you advance. They also get more aggressive, sometimes choosing to attack your pucks if it means taking the lead. You'll need a strategy to beat the Masters. 2-PLAYER IN-PERSON GAME You can play against a friend by taking turns on your iPhone or iPad. FUN STUFF Motion Streaks • Fast moving pucks look even faster. Homing Pucks • Guide themselves toward your enemy. Do-Overs • Re-throw your puck when you really need it. Instant Replay • Re-live that game-winning shot again and again. Pick Your Puck • Now, 5 designs to choose from! Fast-Forward • For when that realistic friction is taking too long. Closeup View • See a closeup of the scoring zone to play your shot. TIPS & TRICKS From someone who's played more than 7,500 games... • Lay your phone or iPad on a flat surface instead of holding it in your hand • Don't move it around while you play, especially don't twist it • Fling your puck with a finger (not your thumb) • Get your forearm and wrist in the game (not just your finger) • Touch your puck, then drag it around a little before you fling it • Don't just put your finger down and fling it immediately • You'll improve quickly over just a few games I had a lot of fun making this game and play-testing it. I hope you like it too. Let me know at http://funnerware.com/feedback .
