How to Play
Air Hockey is a fast tabletop sports game. Drag your paddle to strike the puck into the opponent's goal while defending your own net. First to five points wins.
The puck rebounds off walls and paddles — use angles for shots the AI cannot reach.
The table is 600 by 400 with a 15-unit puck and 25-unit paddles. Your paddle tracks the pointer at up to 7 units per frame while the puck starts at 6, so you can out-run the puck but not out-manoeuvre a good deflection. Goals are 120 units wide at each end, and first to five wins.

Tips & Tricks
- 1Strike through the puck for power; tap for soft redirects
- 2Center defense blocks most straight shots
- 3Aim for corners when the AI paddle is offset
- 4Don't chase the puck wildly — return to guard position
- 5Your paddle moves at 7 units per frame against the puck's 6, so you can intercept anything — the mistake is being out of position, not being too slow
- 6The goal mouth is 120 units wide, just under a fifth of the table, so aim at the far post rather than the middle
- 7Moving the paddle into the puck adds your own speed to the rebound; a stationary block returns a much softer shot
