About Air Hockey
Air Hockey brings the chrome-and-felt arcade table into your browser. Two paddles, one puck, a long playing field. You move your paddle to defend the goal at your end and try to slip the puck past the AI at the other. First to a set number of goals takes the match.
Real air hockey lives and dies on angles. The puck bounces off the rails predictably, which means the entire game is a continuous geometry problem. The best players are not the fastest — they are the ones who read the puck angle and meet it cleanly, not chase it after it has passed. That positional skill is the same one this browser version rewards.
This Air Hockey is free, browser-based and works on touch, mouse and keyboard. There is no sign-up, no installer and no microtransactions. Your win record is stored locally between sessions. It is one of the fastest games on the site — a full match takes under three minutes.

— Strategy & tips
How to win
- Stay near your goal, not in the middle. You will lose more shots from being out of position.
- Hit the puck with the corner of the paddle for sharp angles.
- Defend first, attack second. Rushed offence loses more games than slow defence.
- Watch the AI's paddle, not the puck. The paddle tells you where the next shot will come.
- Mix shot speeds. A slow shot following a fast one often slips through.
