Hyper Hockey https://lnkd.in/eiJADmsP Try your hand at air hockey on the Hyper Hockey field. If you like puck games, you're probably familiar with the principles of the game. There are two players on the playing field in the form of round figures. The field is divided into two halves: the lower one is yours, and the upper one is your opponent, who can be either a real person or a computer bot. In our game, each player has two gates, so the game is a bit complicated. During the game, various symbols appear on the field. Catch them using the puck and instantly see the effects: the puck may increase in size, players may shrink, the background of the field may change, becoming cosmic, etc. Expect many unexpected moments. The score of the game is displayed right on the field as neon numbers. If you miss five goals, you lose. In challenge mode, you just have to endure the game for a minute without losing.
