Fun game! I like the control scheme and the sound! Impressive job on the AI too.

Difficult ai..
Could not even score once!
The controls are kinda complex!!

Great game though!! Niceeee entry! :D

AI is impressive indeed. Good job on this very fair game.

Took me a while to learn how to aim, and it's not clear what turning into a bear does other than be completely hilarious. With some more polish, this could be a really solid hockey brawler! Good work!

I'm not one to complain about graphics, but it kind of broke the immersion for me, still fun though. Nice controls and sound

the red team needs to be nerfed a bit, they score 100% of the time.

Good job. Very fun.

Played windows version. Had very had time playing and the controls are a bit clunky. But I like the retro'ness of the game. Just finesse it a bit. The scoreboard is only visible in the first few seconds of a match. I also don't understand the point of shapeshifting.

I believe I lost. That make me really sad.

Wow, so much controls to remember. Had my face rolling over my keyboard, just to press them all.
Liked the overall mood and game though, I love 2d icehockey games.

Little point in Discription
Controls : ASDF

The game cool but the AI is to hard.

cynicalmonkey 2016-04-18 13:13

maybe some simpler more focused controls. would of had an easier time of it if it was keyboard only

Pretty fun, but a little confusing at times. Controls well and AI is quite effective. No idea what becoming a bear does!

p4nurge 2016-04-18 21:48

Ha! I've always thought ice hockey could use a few more bears. :)

This was fun to play with potential for some interesting gameplay if all the shapeshift classes were implemented. The controls weren't immediately intuitive but I did get used to them.

I'm not quite sure how the bear helped me. Less vulnerable to being challenged?

Anyway, a fun and creative entry!

Fun game :) The red team is incredibly difficult. Also they managed to surround my keeper and prevented me from passing

mikaza 2016-04-19 12:28

Funny !

lostviking 2016-04-19 22:53

Like everyone else is pointing out the ai is really good. But after you learn the controls and use the animals correctly (especially the bear) it gets easier to win. The only thing I didn't enjoy was changing the current player while trying to move, but other than that I had a blast playing.

adipson 2016-04-20 06:22

fun game ! lol

patomkin 2016-04-20 16:14

The idea is very funny, but the controls are very complex. I couldn't score once :D

lavwa 2016-04-21 03:36

Thank you very much for the feedback. I just uploaded a new version with the ability to select the player who is the closest to the puck. I have also nerf down the bear form and managed the AI difficulty. Working on the AI shapeshifting forms and the webGL version ! Have fun and thank you again for playing !

fin_nolimit 2016-04-21 04:34

Fantastic job with the AI!!! Looks like a lot went into that game!! I played 11 times and never won!! :( But i'll be back!!! Nice job

ekkiiiii 2016-04-21 14:48

Very fun and addictive game. AI was also way too hard for me, I'd need an easy mode so I could actually win once. :)

That NES photo... Oh boy, haha!

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 23:42

it's hard but it's good to play a hokey game ^^
