Ben Jackson, Owner and Technical Director of Brainjuice, LLC, spoke about an iPhone application called Arcade Hockey. The application is a table hockey game that is apparently a ton of fun.

The game is set to release into the App Store in early to mid November, no word on how much it will cost. The game is very well written and executed. Posted are a few screenshots of the simple yet addictive game play. Arcade Hockey is a one or two player game. The game allows you to choose the size of the paddles and pucks as well as the version of the game. The versions include Standard, Arcade Deck or Boomerang Style.

The game play is played just as the average air hockey game most citizens are use to.

You control your paddle with the tip of your finger, trying not to let the puck get in your goal. Physics are reported to be spot on, reacting precisely as you would expect it to in real life. Greg Hughes went on to say, “As a former air hockey addict, I can say that game is quite a bit of fun, and there’s something to be said for pulling the game out of your pocket and playing a surprisingly accurate and realistic game on the bus, before the movie, while out on a hot duration you want to impress with your skillz, or at lunch.”
