How it feels

Feels like a straightforward, arcade-style hockey game with quick matches and simple gameplay loops.

What players say

Players call this a faithful modern replica of NES Ice Hockey, with smooth gameplay, retro pixel art, and addictive arcade pick-up-and-play. Some find it surprisingly difficult, while a few cite missing key rebinding and settings that reset. Fans hope for custom teams.
