Glow Hockey 2 1.0.9

Air hockey is an interesting sport that really puts a lot of focus on your ability to react quickly in order to be able to save the puck from entering your goal and allowing the opponent to earn a point. The game focuses entirely on hand and eye co-ordination and hand reflexes and people who play the game usually improve their capabilities with time. Air hockey is however, a niche sport that is normally only available in a few places and individuals who like the game are often disappointed at the lack of air hockey boards in most entertainment places. However, there are a number of virtual air hockey boards available due to the development of hockey games for iPhones and Android based mobiles. Glow Hockey 2 is a game in the same genre developed by Natenai Ariyatrakool that promises solid gameplay and realistic physics.

Glow Hockey 2 has bright app design and it provides an exciting start for the users. Since the hockey game itself isn't complicated, there are no tutorials or information on how the controls work. While this would be a problem for most games, Glow Hockey 2 is so simple and easy to play that you are thankful about not going through the trouble of a tutorial and wasting your time on learning the game when it is extremely easy to master even without a tutorial. The app's homepage introduces you to the main app options. These include "1 Player" mode, "2 Player" mode, "settings" section, "More Apps" section and "About" section. The 1 Player and 2 Player are gaming modes with the former allowing for matches against the AI and the latter allowing for matches between two friends. The Settings section provides you control over the app and the gaming outlook. The "More Apps" section introduces to other apps developed by Natenai Ariyatrakool while the "About" section provides information about the app version.

The gameplay of the hockey game is fantastic. The single player version allows you to challenge the AI and you can choose the difficulty level yourself. The options are "Easy", "Medium", "Hard" and "Insane" with each difficulty level obviously offering a stronger opponent. The two player version allows for multi-touch control with one player at one side of the screen and the other player at the opposite side with both controlling their pucks at the same time on the same screen. The game's rules are simple with the side scoring a goal getting one point for each goal and the first player to reach seven goals wins the game.

The controls of the hockey game are extremely simple. You have to put your thumb or finger (whichever you prefer) on the puck present on the screen. You can move the puck in all directions in order to keep the ball from reaching your goal and directing it towards the opponent's half. The physics used in the game includes great trajectory tracking with the angles usually extremely accurate during the game itself. The three different themes and different colored puck choices ensure that you can always opt for changes in order to not get bored with the same visuals. The background score and the vibrate options are useful and interesting and add to the gameplay as well.

Features:

• Bright and colorful app design
• Fantastic gameplay with realistic physics deployed to calculate angle and ball trajectory
• Easy and simple controls with fast game response
• Excellent theme changes available to change the display every now and again

Conclusion:

Glow Hockey 2 is a very entertaining and addictive hockey game that has all the qualities that you would want in a virtual air hockey app. With easy controls, realistic gameplay and four different difficulty levels, this is an excellent game for any air hockey enthusiast.
