Canvas Hockey

This game is a load of fun for any hockey fan, whether hardcore or casual. From the career mode, to tournaments, to playing with friends, you can always find something to do on here. The Leaderboards also in my opinion add a bit of friendly competition, just looking at your stats in comparison to others I feel gives you a bit more drive to wanna do your best if you're the competitive type. I'm for the game all the way, a great pickup especially alongside a friend!

It's no secret that hockey is a totally underserved sport on PC especially. This game has a really novel gameplay feel compared to others on steam, and is impressively flesh out! Really fun, would totally recommend!

After 30+hrs now and beating the career mode I can say without a doubt this is a must-buy for any pc hockey fan, and a super satisfying gaming experience. Winning the cup was akin to the feeling of accomplishment in recent gaming memory of beating a Hades boss for the first time. Super responsive dev as well, had a couple quality of life requests as well as the below AI complaint (which I'll leave in for context) and I got a response and a week later updated with exactly what I asked for as well as a new mode which adds some replay-ability after the campaign, seems like it will only continue to get better (Would 100% purchase a canvas hockey 2, maybe with 5-on-5 play) I was honestly not expecting much with this I just wanted some kind of hockey game on the pc for a few minutes here and there considering the notable void of such games, but I have been quite pleasantly surprised. It's very bare-bones visually but the game-play is suitably crunchy and fast-paced and the career mode has a surprising amount of progression and customisation for an arcade-y game. My couple gripes are the somewhat janky AI at times (my opponent stuck in the net or corner a couple times) and the lack of ability to change your keybindings or controls but considering I've already gotten much more out of this than I thought I would and can see myself coming back to the career mode for a good while, this is definitely a thumb's-up from me.

This is such a fun and interesting little game. It's stripped-down arcade-y hockey that feels like the offspring of Clusterpuck 99 and Super Mario Strikers. The career mode is surprisingly deep, but this is definitely a game that is best enjoyed on the couch with other people. There are precious few hockey games on Steam, and none of them look and play like this one.

This game has a beautifully unique art style and fun gameplay. Great for casual sessions. Highly recommend!

This is a really well put together game, its challenging but still not too difficult. The career mode is fun, you get xp depending on how well you play to upgrade your player and make them better in game. You can also play co-op in career mode where a friend can help you win games. (I haven't been able to try this out yet) There is also a quick game and tournament game mode where you can play the ai or play against another player. (i haven't been able to give any of these game modes a try yet as I don't have anyone to play with and this is a bit of a hidden game) I definitely recommend giving this game a look if you're looking for a game that doesn't require too much attention to play and if your'e a fan of hockey as well. lastly the developer Brandon has been great with accepting feedback and recommendations

Canvas Hockey is a delightful breathe of fresh air. The pick up and play controls make this an accessible title for fans and newcomers alike. The 1v1 or 2v2 battles are augmented by tournament play for up to 12 people. The endless career mode allows players the opportunity to create the HOFer of their dreams while climbing the ladder to wards the ultimate goal of earning the CHL cup. https://youtu.be/wc6XvbJ3ETA for a full video review This review was completed via a review code requested for by me after discovering it from another indie developer.
