    How about an Offence/Defence game mode. Both sides take a turn being each. If you’re offence, you don’t have a goal (just a wall) and three pucks in front of you. The object is to score as fast as you can on the opponents goal. Once the first round is over (1 player was offence, other was defence), the roles are reversed, but the offender must score faster than the opponent did originally. If he succeeds, he wins. If time runs out, the original offender wins.

    This could also be changed to have a continous game mode where the offender has to beat the previous offender's time to continue. With pass around the iPhone (playing against the CPU), and/or human vs human (kind of like hot potato).

    Versus the CPU, you could have high scores in Open Feint for both Offence and Defence.


    I have also really wanting to get into this beta! Hope I get in!

    zombie vs human mode : the zombie can spit acid which can slow the puck or to deal damage to the human . The human can throw a super shot , he must kill the zombie.

    Power mode : A power can appear random on the field at 30 seconds or less , the power can be fire , ice , the puck can move faster or the field can be filt with water and the puck will be slow.

    I'm pretty sure I sent my UDID to you via the messaging service on TA. Didn't get a reply. I'm still around if you need me to test.

    Glad to hear it Winner :) Have fun! We're becoming closer to submitting AHA.
    This week, we plan to implement a speaker, which will shout when you collect a bonus, and a new version of beta will be available so stay tuned, especially those who didn't get it.


    Thanks to all of you!

    I LOVE the game, but I hate the menu interface... GREAT game, no glitches so far but I'll keep you posted. Maybe I'm being picky, but menu is hard to navigate!

    Great that you like it. thanks Rblacula. Do you have some ideas about the interface? It can be a little confusing at the begenning becouse we wanted to keep everything on one screen, so you could actually start a game very fast, just by one touch, if you don't want to change anything :)

    Wow this game is fun, and its an entirely new take on air hockey IMHO. however there are some things I would recommend changing. The min.______max. slider is such a pain. I spent 3 minutes tapping the AI Level thinking it was a button. I also kept tapping the goals limit, puck speed, camera view, and goal size thinking they were buttons. If you could put in a help menu stating that you must use the min._____max slider thing to switch those certain aspects, or if you could change it so that the aspects (i.e. puck speed, camera view, etc) were buttons I think that it would be much easier to get a game going, and people would spend less time trying to figure out how to change things. A question i have is when you have the puck is it your stick that hits the puck or is it the base on which the character sits, that hits the puck? cause its a little difficult for me to hit the puck. And when I score one of the signs that's held up reads what i think says Myah. I'm not sure i know what that word means or says :p, perhaps I'm reading it wrong (this is most likely the case), maybe you could also add other words to the crowds signs like the word GOAL! Second question i have is what is the pad option for? I can disable and enable it but the only effect it has is making gray lines appear around the edge of the screen. Other than that this game is great fun. I really enjoy the fight sequences. Graphics are goo and the Interface is well done (except for the issues I addressed above). Great game!

    Hello iPhoneprogrammer and thank you for your feedback! Yes - we've decidded to make possible to just tap the button and change the option that way (as an addition to slider). Exactly, turning off the Pad disables the grey lines. They show you where you can move your finger to reach the end of the field, so it can be a little bit helpfull at the begining, as all orientation is in 3D.

    You hit the puck with the base of your character.

    As for Myah! :) It's a little easter egg for those who like to watch reviews at www.ed-did-this.com ..

    New build version, which we are going to send to all of the betatersters (new ones too) will be available after weekend.

    Thanks guys once more for all your support!
