Description

The goal is simple: propel your pucks so they ram your opponent's pucks out of the board! And, whenever you score - drive their puck(s) off but don't lose any of your own - you get to push again! It's an addictive blend of air hockey, curling, shuffleboard, pool... and even checkers (the "Chapayev" checkers game popular in Russia). Despite the simple rules, it takes time to master the skill of propelling your pucks with the exact required force and direction. And it takes strategy and foresight to not only score but create positions that are difficult for your opponent.

  • "Back in 2011, my former boss told me to discover hidden pearls, indie games, that are yet unknown but have the potential to become top sellers. I guess I've found one today. With a bit of polish, mostly regarding graphics and sounds, this game has a true potential to rock the Google Play charts."
