Stinger Table Hockey 4+

As a kid I was a huge fan of the dome hockey game at arcades. The real deal tables cost about $3000 and at the moment that is just way out of my price range.

Luckily, I came across this app when searching for air hockey games. I was a little concerned that this game hadn't been updated in quite some time but on my iPad 4 with iOS 9 it works fine. Well worth the two dollars for admission.

Now obviously the real table has better controls than a touchscreen device but you get the hang of it after a while. The physics feel realistic. The sounds are nice and I love the instant replay future. I'm looking forward to playing this on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with someone else.

This is a very well-designed and well thought out video game. I definitely recommend it if you were a fan of the real thing at the arcade.

This game absolutely nails the basics of bubble hockey- there isn't much like it, and if you have ever played bubble hockey in your life, you owe it to your childhood to immediately buy and play this game. The physics are fairly accurate, and you will be surprised that a lot of (but not all) of your old, unused bubble hockey skills translate over to this wonderful little game. The ability to add custom teams (which you'll probably add NHL teams using) is just icing on the cake. There are some drawbacks however- you can't really move the puck with players as quickly as in real life without losing the puck, you can't easily handle the puck as in real bubble hockey, and the spinning to hit shots is wildly inconsistent- sometimes you'll hit your sweet spot and rocket a shot home far side- other times that same shot will go wide, or even travel at half the speed for no reason. Still, with a tournament mode and multiplayer, if you have ever played bubble hockey, you absolutely need to give this addictive little gem a shot.

I have e-mailed stinger games to inquire as to whether there will ever be another update for this game. No response. Going on almost 6 years without any improvements. Inexcusable I noticed in the reviews I am not the only one with a stats issue for the ipad in terms of no stats being shown, just gray lines The game worked fine on my iPhone 12 I was due for an upgrade after a few years and went to the 15 Pro. Sure enough the game has a glitchy screen and is basically unusable since it’s hard to see For the people who have posted about difficult controls, I get it. But once I practiced enough. I got the hang of it They need to read their reviews - positive and negative - to get a feel for what their customers /fans of the game want I want to give this app 5 stars again, but until improvements are made for US the customers/fans, I will not Have a safe and happy holidays everyone!
