Air hockey is always fun and the game is still pretty tough even on "easy" mode because of how fast the puck can move around at times. However the sound effects can be headache inducing if played for a long time, so I'd watch out for that.

It was made in a hurry, all across the board. I didn't have time to add in any volume or toggle sfx controls. I am sharing it with the world, as is, from the gamejam. Thanks a bunch for checking it out! :)
A pretty addicting game! The first time that background popped up I was thinking there'd it was some kind of three-dimensional special... but turns out it was the oldskool type. I'm thinking a more consistent background would look better, something symmetrical for each field, but anyway, twas a fun play! Controls are smooth and simple.

It is definitely old school, made for a gamejam :) Thank you for checking it out !
The goals are too small... you can completely block yours simply by standing in front of it and let the PC play against himself.
technomantics responds:
You can do something similar in real air hockey. Did you defeat the hard table yet? Thanks for taking the time to play it, much appreciated! :)
It'S way to fast, you can hardly react. The only option is to block your goal an hope that the CPU makes a fault. A mutebutton wold be nice.
Also there's a little bug. sometimes the puck reflects from invisible objects .

I had to make it in a hurry, and wanted it to be fast, like real air hockey. Are you sure the puck isn't hitting the sides of the goal, or last location you had the stick? Make sure you do not have other web pages that use flash running at the same time. Thanks a bunch for playing! :)
first impression: OK. after playing the game and seeing the puck come back at my side after hitting it off the side wall, i knew something was jacked up. if you start off the game with a soft slow hit, the computer's hits won;t make the puck speed up. if you start off the game with a hard fast hit, the speed stays the same. I.E. the speed will never increase because of the computers hits, it's based on your hits. i pretty much hit first and played defense allowing the computer to screw itself on each point i scored.
Something to make the game a little harder, make the goal bigger. if you place your paddle in front of your goal, the puck will never go past. fix the physics of the puck hitting the side of the table. the puck should never come back at you unless it hits the end.

Did you try the Hard table? Thank you for the feedback! :)
