How to Play Air Hockey
Move the amber mallet with your mouse or drag it with a finger. You control the lower half of the table, while the cyan opponent guards the upper half and tracks the moving puck.
Send the puck through the opening in the cyan end line to score a point. Contact near the side of your mallet creates an angled shot, while a quick forward movement adds force and can catch the AI out of position.
The amber opening behind you is your goal. Each puck that crosses it gives the opponent a point and costs one life. You have three lives, and the match ends when all three are gone.
There is no fixed winning score, so every successful attack extends your run. Balance aggressive bank shots with a central defensive position, especially as the puck accelerates.
