Thanks to all of you for over 12 million downloads! Here's we did in this udpate:
• Fixed dock & gesture interaction problem on the iPad Pro. The iPhone fix for this is still in work. We know. Sorry. Air Hockey was one of the first games out in the App Store back in 2008 and keeping it going with the latest phones can sometimes be a little "fun."
• One of our ad network partners uses ads that display via html and there's an operating system bug that kept those from obeying the mute switch. The html ads from that partner now play muted by default...so you won't disturb your partner while they sleep. Well, that is, unless you yell "hooray!" when you win a game.
• Removed the old ad mediation framework, since, well, that company shut down the service.
• Fixed a few issues with the menu system on the iPhone version of the game
• Puttered around in the code while I was self-isolating...tweaked some knobs & cleaned up some stuff.
Thanks again for being an awesome player of Air Hockey!
Air Hockey Gold is the quintessential example of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' It takes the classic arcade table and puts it on your screen with zero lag and perfect physics. The 60fps framerate makes a world of difference here—the puck moves with a fluid speed that actually requires fast eyes and hands.
What really sells it for me is the same-device multiplayer. It’s one of the few games that makes an iPad feel like a board game. Playing against the 'Insane' AI is a great way to sharpen your reflexes, but nothing beats a heated match against a friend. It’s clean, it’s loud, and it’s a total blast.
Smooth 60 frames per second
2-player same-device support
Multiple difficulty levels
Realistic sound effects
Use your mallet to strike the puck. Don't just hit it hard; aim for the corners to catch the AI off guard. On defense, keep your mallet slightly in front of your goal to block incoming shots.
You can choose between different table styles and difficulty settings. 'Hard' and 'Insane' modes will truly test your reaction times!
Yes, it is optimized for iPad, where the larger screen makes 2-player matches even better.
Love this App! The ability to play against the "house" and select level of difficulty, makes play truly fun without being overly frustrating. The lose of sound occasionally is a weak element in this game. Pausing the game usually gets the sound back. Great air hockey play action! Still love playing this game! Keep up the good work! Still a fun game for the graphics and ability to play against the "house". Now, if you can get air to come through the screen, that would be some feat! (Just kidding). I truly enjoy this game! Just downloaded your update! It indicated that your celebrating 10 years for this app! Tomorrow will be my 10th year anniversary of being free from sinus and skull based cancer! I thought you might like to know! Your app was one of the key elements in my recovery! Keep up the good work!
I remember playing this with my mom when I was way younger in the ages of 7, when I was bored I’d ask my mom if I could play on her phone cause I didn’t have one at the time💁 and play air hockey, coloring, tic-tac-toe, dress up games, etc.— you the kid friendly games 🤗 although out of all of them id play air hockey and challenge my mom, dad, or my brother to it. But then it all changed when I got a phone at 9. I was stuck to my phone playing games like candy crush 😄👍 and watch videos—not to mention I would be stuck to my room🤭(they hated that). I’m so happy to be at the age of 14 and start playing it again everyday everywhere having my friends at my school judge me 😔😤 writing this Id love for you to know that I hope this game of air hockey will rematch another day ❤️🙏
First of I would like to say, this game is really fun! My brother and I love playing this game on a daily basis. When I play alone though I get a number of options to choose from I usually choose medium or hard, but I still love to play. I am the type of person who likes checkers and chess and all other brain games including this one, my brain get a workout and my fingers/hand. I think that you should get this ga e it is a great game to play alone or with someone! That’s why I rated 5 stars and well, you should too! Hoped that was the answer that helped peace out!
It’s a very fun game it has different levels it get harder and harder as you go but it gets you good at air hockey if you do two players then you ho against the other person and that really teaches you how to play the game because your going against another person. I would say get this game and try going against people to see how good you are at it. It’s a really fun game.
I’ve been playing this game on iPad for years! It’s my favorite quick go-to for a quick diversion. The air hockey physics are perfect, which is the main reason this is so fun! However… I’ve been playing for years without any adds, but sine I just upgraded to iPad 9th gen I’m getting ads like crazy! This is no longer fun. How do I turn off adds again??? I’d gladly pay fora no add version but I can’t see where to do that. Help!
This is an amazing game to play when you’re bored and have nothing to do. Take any of your fingers (I primarily use my thumb) to move the mallet and hit the puck. There are multiple modes that you can choose from and they go from slowest to fastest. The only thing I don’t like about this is that I can’t figure out why I am not getting achievements that I have accomplished 10 times by now, but overall, amazing game.
Let me tell you why this is a good game, FIRST of all it is free to play, second of all this app is for EVERYONE, third of all it has different levels and also the level it has are kiddie, easy, medium, and hard there is more levels but that all i can remember, LAST BUT NOT LEAST THERE IS NO ADDS maybe a little bit but its like not a lot. And these are all the reasons why i gave this game 5 stars byeee
EDIT: What would make this game even more of a blast is being able to choose the amount in scoring needed to win. Would love to play this game to 21 or even 50 instead of the default 7. 😀 Touch screen slide action is very smooth and responsive. Zero lag issues making the game fast paced and extra fun to play!
