Air Hockey

Who doesn’t enjoy playing air hockey at the arcade? It’s quick, fun, something different and get’s the competitive juices flowing.  Air Hockey by Acceleroto is truly what mobile apps are all about.  If you have an iPhone or iPod touch you have to have this app in your library.  Accelerato has matched the gameplay of real Air Hockey as best as is possible I believe on a small iPhone.  You’ll play with easy to control mallets that aren’t too big or small and a puck that rockets across the table.  The goals are sized to perfectly balance rapid game play and the challenge of the game.  Advanced physics and air hockey sounds make the game act and sound like you’re playing on a real table!

Air Hockey app at this point doesn’t even need promotion.  It’s already been featured on many of Apples categories including:

• #1 on the Apple Store “Our Favorite Games” list
• #1 ranked App Store paid game in Sep 2008
• What’s Hot
• What We’re Playing
• Staff Favorites
• iTunes “Best of 2008″

Air Hockey has also won many notable awards, including:

• Honorable Mention “Best Bluetooth” by Best App Ever 2009.
• Awarded “Best Arcade Game” by Best App Ever 2008.
• Nominated “Best Kids Game” by Best App Ever 2008.
• iTunes “Best of 2008″ – #7 out of all games for sale.

Here are some unique/great features you get with Air Hockey:

• The option for 1 or 2 pucks(This is the only air hockey that lets you play with 2 pucks at once!) This will truly challenge your reflexes!
• 1 and 2-player modes
  • If you’re alone, play a computer opponent ranging from easy to INSANE!
  • Get a friend and grab your mallets to see who dominates the table in 2-player mode. Be the first to score 7 points – just like in real air hockey!
  • Air Hockey has wireless multiplayer for across-the-room fun.
• It also includes 12 OpenFeint leaderboards and 1000 OpenFeint Achievement Points.

It’s pretty obvious that I’m high on Air Hockey.  I love iPhone app games that’re based on classics, and when they deliver like Acceleroto does it’s a no brainer.  Download it ASAP.  You won’t regret it.
