Air Hockey Championship Deluxe - Play for Free! | Poki Game

Air Hockey Championship Deluxe is a straightforward browser air-hockey game, playable solo against the computer or head-to-head with a friend on the same device. Score seven goals before your opponent does and the match is yours.

Angling your paddle to bank the puck off the table's side rails is a real part of the strategy here, as much about covering your own goal and controlling rebounds as it is about lining up a direct shot. Between matches you can unlock different stages and pucks to change up the look of the table.

Controls

• Single player: move your paddle with the mouse cursor.
• Two players, same device: the second paddle is controlled with WASD or the arrow keys.

Tips

• A shot banked off a side rail is harder for your opponent to read than a straight shot down the middle.
• Keep your paddle centered in front of your own goal on defense rather than chasing every puck to the corners.
• A fast shot aimed at a corner beats a slow one aimed at the center of the goal.

A good pick for a quick match against the CPU, or a same-keyboard rematch with a friend sitting next to you.
