How to play Air Hockey
Read the aim of Air Hockey, then make your first move. Score seven goals before the computer. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Move your paddle against a computer opponent and score through the opposite goal.
Build a steady rhythm
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Score seven goals before the computer. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Start.
- Move your mallet within the lower half.
- Strike toward the upper goal.
- Goals reset the puck.
Controls
Mouse/touch movement or Left/Right controls. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
You cannot move into the computer’s half. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
