Community Insight:
Any idea on possibly getting this app updated to work again.
Awesome and addictive game. GO TEAM USA.
Very fun. It for some reason took what seemed very long to beat the Mexicans. We were down 6-2 and we came back and won 7-6.
One of our favorite ways to past the time.
Love it, it would be nice to randomize the countries each time in the tournament mode but still like it.
Love this app, but after playing on our iPod touch for years, we got a new iPhone and there's a glitch in our app now… Every five to ten seconds, the app seems to freeze/glitch and the paddle won't move…and we usually end up losing control or can't shield our goal. We look forward to playing much more if this can be fixed.
It says Sweden is Switzerland and Switzerland is Sweden… Please fix this, we're from Sweden and we hate being called Switzerland.
Unfortunately, someone needs to learn their flags before programming the countries. Pitiful that Switzerland and Sweden flags are reversed.
Won't let us play. It glitches every time we try to play.
Unless your idea of increasing the level of difficulty lies solely on the loss of ones paddle mid shot. Irritating either way.
Ok so dont get this. We bought the full version it was a rip! It made not one difference. Get Air Hockey free,its everything and more you dont have to just play as Peoples Republic of China. You can pick any country. We will never go back to this. This game wasted .99 cents. We'd rather spend $300,000,000 for a plastic utensil than have anyone else ever buy this game.
Good game fun and enjoyable definitely would get it.
Great game when it actually loads up. Have had a lot of problems with that lately & the game crashing. Pleas fix.
If youre bored it gives you something to do.
First off, you need to make an iPad version. Then, please fix the random crashing error.
It is cool but we couldn't move.If it was fixed it would be cool.Please fix.
We can't get through a game because it keeps crashing. Also, most of the time won't open.
This app is very nice :) one of the best apps of ice hockey we have played!!! :).
It's not a bad game, good for wasting time. Not sure what people are crying about with the controls, all you do is slide you're thumb around, pretty sure you can't mess that up plus it's free. They did somehow mix up Switzerland and Sweden's flags, besides that it cool.
This is game is not that great we're playing and we didn't win the finals and we had to start all over!!!!im like thinking"are u serious!!!!all that hard work.
This app doesnt work, the paddle doesn't move at all. UPDATE THE CONTROLS.
This app is stupid its a waist of memory.
People who can't even load the game are the lucky ones. They don't have to play this piece of $&@# game! It's horrible and controls are godawful.
A litlle hard, but u can get better at it. But skyworks ROCKS period.best publishers ever They only make sports apps but they all rock.
Very exciting game, with real action. It's just like the real thing.
It just takes a tiny bit of practice to get good at the game. We beat it 5-0 most of the time and it's quite easy. So if you guys put some effort into it then you would win too.
This game plays just like the real thing. The puck is really sensitive, hard but that's how the real game plays.
It was a great game and so easy to use the puck but the computer could play better Jesus love you.
But it doesn't record high scores anymore.
We like it's hard but love it.
The game was kinda fun but then after the up date it wouldn't let us play it nd it froze our iPod.
Can you make it less hard? And a same CPU, with a diffrent flag pic.? We choosed 3 stars.
It's pretty fun but 2 hard 2 control puck.
Controls are to hard on the the only place we would play this is on the.
We love it! Really easy and fun.
It's too hard to control your puck! And it's not very chalenging.
Make the game a little more challenging like Fs5.
As said before, a rare Skyworks miss. Controls are poor, everything is too small, and the opponent will actually assist the puck into their own net on sure misses. AI really needs to be ramped up.
For sports, Skyworks has far and away the best games. This however is a the first skyworks game we've played that stinks. The paddles and puck are WAY too small. Its way too hard to get a rally going….touch free hockey already has a great air hockey app. Everything on this app is too small to play with. Dont bother.
Worst game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No joke.
Don't get when you get it it crashes right when you touch it.
From the same brain surgeons who gave us the 4.0 update for Horseshoes Lite. If they tried it only once, they would have seen that it won't open.
Don't bother it does not load just flashes off.
When we turn it on it will go back to our home page.
Idk whats wrong with this app we cant get into it it starts to load then exits out of the app and goes to the home screen this is making us pretty mad because we would really like to actuall PLAY this game >:(.
Doesn't work with iOS 4.0, when we try to open the game it just goes back to the home screen.
THIS IS F$&@$&@ TERrIBLE we HATE u N THIS GAME.
This is terrible. When u hold the paddle thingy it moves it up slot and that makes it to hard to hit the puck. This is a f$&:/-g horrible game.
What is the problem here?!?!?! We HATE THIS APP!!!!!!! This is the worst app ever. Dont waste you time or energy You can't even zoom in so you are playing from a mile away If you are smart don't get it we deleted it right after we got it.
