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.

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!
