The game's premise is pretty simple, but you've still got to be pretty quick to win. Using two paddles and hockey-like rules, this single-player game pits you against the computer. There are a few other niceities built in, like difficulty level selection, independent paddle control and a "season" mode. Maybe the best part of Pocket Hockey Pong is the price. You can go to the above Handango link and grab a free demo or buy the full version for only $4.99.

In addition to the game being less than entertaining, it put all kinds of weird stuff in my start menu beyond the game itself. Freeware, at best, and then only if it gets spruced up some. $5? No Way. __________________ 2B 1 Ask 1

The premise is familiar and gets you involved for a brief 5 minutes at a time, kinda like the classic PONG. I put this in the category of popping bubble wrapper for brain. cheap simple fun.

chandler Pupil Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 29		Hey guys what's happening, I'm the developer for the game and I just want to say thanks for all the feedback I am creating version 1.2 at the moment which will fix the start menu problem, and will include more features such as multiple pucks, three paddle support, and 2-player support.
