Online Air Hockey: Matches for 2 Players

About Online Air Hockey

Online air hockey brings the classic arcade table game to your screen, with a neon lightslook. Each player controls a mallet and has to hit the puck into the opponent's goal while defending their own. You can play against the computer or play a one-on-one match with a friend connected from another device. If you like competing with company, check out our games for two.

Matches are fast and intense: you need reflexes, good aim and to know when to attack and when to hang back.

The charm of air hockey is its simplicity: no complicated menus or hard rules, just two mallets, a puck and two goals. That makes it a great game for a quick rivalry with a friend even if you're each at home, or for training your reflexes against the machine before challenging someone. Each match is short, so it's easy to ask for a rematch and play "one more." Plus, the neon design on a dark background makes the puck easy to see even when it's moving very fast, which is key for reacting in time to the hardest shots.

Tips to play better: Online Air Hockey

Don't chase the puck all over the table: keep your mallet near your goal and only go out when you have a clear shot.
Use the side walls for bank shots; they're harder to stop than a straight shot.
Hit the moving puck forward to give it more speed.
After every shot, quickly return to your defensive position.
