Tropical Air Hockey

This was a really nice little game, I'm only about an hour in and it was pretty fun. It's definitely in it's early stages but if the devs deliver on the full release notes it's gonna be a really cool game. If you like air hockey and some twists on the subject id recommend it. The pinball mode was the most fun for me. It would be really awesome to play this game in multiplayer with some global leader boards as well.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/eHozr_ojDpo I really wanted to like this game. It seems like a silly air hockey game with different modes and it's only 4 bucks. It should be fun. And it is fun, when it works. However, that's the problem. I encountered several different issues during my little over an hour of gameplay. For those of you looking for an air hockey simulation game, this isn't it. It's definitely arcade. The table seems kind of small in VR and it has curved edges versus the hard edges professional air hockey tables would have. It honestly looks like a kid's mini air hockey table. You cannot hold the mallet the way a professional would. Instead, you just press trigger and your hand avatar model disappears and is replaced with the mallet. There are 5 different modes: standard, fun, crash, tournament, and pinball with three different difficulties: easy, medium, and hard. I really enjoyed the modifiers to the standard gameplay. In fun or tournament mode, your mallet can turn into a pineapple, or your goal can get bigger, or you can get obstructions on the table. Unfortunately, the core physics just don't seem right, at least to me. I've played other air hockey games and this game just doesn't compare to those, especially the air hockey in Sports Bar VR. Also, even for arcade, I would say that Shufflepuck Cantina is better (although it's Oculus only and uses a gamepad only). Plus I experienced several bugs as follows: the mallet gets stuck under the table, the puck gets behind the AI and stops and the AI doesn't move either, and finally the game becomes an endless mode where no matter what you score, the game keeps goings (instead of winning at 7 points). The game does look good. It runs smoothly for the most part at a steady 90fps (although I did experience sudden frame rate drops for like a second or two). It's in Early Access so all my issues have time to be addressed. It's only $4 bucks so you may be interested in supporting its development. However, as is, with all the errors I experienced, I cannot recommend this game. [b]Rate 4.5/10. [/b]

My wife is mostly uninterested in VR gaming, but somehow THIS was the game that got her hooked. It's honestly the best VR air hockey game I've found thus far, which is due to its fun factor and tropical setting. The pusher and pucks will change based on a special bonus coin that appears on the board. Sometimes pineapples or coconuts will pile onto the board as obstacles (at least in "fun" mode). There are normal modes as well if you prefer a more serious match (I don't). It's brilliantly simple and addictive. Seriously, this is one of my favorite VR games.

Dead game, will be Early Access forever

I've never played a game like this before, I bought it in a package with Basket at a discount at a lower price. The overall game experience is really good as well the first word I think of when it comes to this game is "Exotic" :D I couldn't help but notice that in the last update, a lot was done on the movement of the puck and on his behavior at the table, which I would especially point out as a good thing, and also added my currently favorite pro table. See you on the scoreboard !!!

Fun little game with nice visuals and funny striker avatars. But I cannot get the striker in hand, my hand falls too short and I can barely grab the striker. Maybe it's a problem with iVRy or/and Leap Motion that I use, so a way to adjust arm length would be great. Hvala!

+ Fun + Quirky + Cheap - Not much to do - Not great at this point 2.5/5 -----IF THIS COULD BE NEUTRAL IT WOULD BE----- This game is quite lacking at the moment, the hockey itself at times feels clunky, there's no multiplayer, it gets stale after a few minutes. And other games offer a similar or better experience and more than just one thing.

This is a great game for the price. It has a lot of variety, it's funny, and the controls are decent. The only negative is what seems to be the lack of multiplayer, but that's ok for the price.
