How to play air hockey online
Move your paddle into the puck to strike it. Aim for the opening behind your opponent and protect your own goal. Both paddles stay on their own half. The first player to five goals wins; quick matches to three and longer matches to seven are also available. Use the side rails for bank shots that are harder to read.
A fast swipe makes a stronger shot, but leaving the goal open invites a counterattack. When a shot misses, bring your paddle back toward the middle of your goal. After each goal, a short countdown gives you time to reset.
Play against the computer or a friend
Solo matches offer three opponents: Milo gives you time to learn, Nova reacts faster, and Orion covers more angles. Club Cup asks you to beat all three in order. Lose a match and retry that rival; you do not need to repeat earlier wins during the same cup.
Two-player mode is simultaneous on one device. The coral player uses WASD and the turquoise player uses arrow keys. On a tablet, one person drags on each half of the table. Two-player mode does not create an online room. For different devices, choose a connected multiplayer game.
Controls on phones, tablets and computers
In solo mode, move your mouse over the table or steer with WASD or arrow keys. On a touch screen, drag on your half; your paddle sits slightly ahead of your finger so you can see the hit. Each touch stays assigned to its original half in two-player mode.
Press Escape or P to pause, and Enter to resume. Help, sound and full screen are in the top bar. Switching tabs pauses an active match. The table automatically uses a flat renderer if 3D is unavailable; both versions use the same rules.
Rewards, replay and what saves
Your first solo win unlocks the Peach Circuit table. Winning Club Cup unlocks Lunar Final. Both are cosmetic: they do not change paddle speed, scoring or difficulty. Your completed wins, best rally, bank goals and unlocked tables save in this browser when local storage is available. They are personal records, not a public leaderboard.
An unfinished match or cup resets when you reload. The whole game, all opponents and all table rewards are free without an account or payment. Share the public game link after a match so someone else can try it, or play a rematch together.
