Slapshot: Rebound
Slapshot: Rebound has got to be one of my all-time favorite video games. Growing up on the NHL series for console, Slapshot: Rebound is a refreshing take on computer hockey video games that hasn’t been done in quite some time. This physics based, arcade-like game is so perfectly intertwined into what the game of Hockey is truly about, that Slapshot: Rebound is a MUST HAVE for any Hockey fan, or sports fan alike. AND ITS FREE!!
The Pros:
- FREE TO PLAY. This small 3-man Dev team has made this game free to play for EVERYONE. How awesome??

Slapshot: Rebound is an intense 3v3 multiplayer physics hockey game. It’s skill heavy game where you control every aspect of your character from, movements, stick handling to customization. It’s a one-of-a-kind game, filled with original mechanics and fast-paced gameplay. The controls are easy to pick up for new players. After the tutorial, you can hop in a custom game with your friends and start slapping. Lack of skill doesn’t make the game less enjoyable. At that point., every good pass, shot, or play will be exciting. If you play against people your level, even the smallest achievements seem big.

Mini Hockey Champ!
This game goes back to the old days of NHL Open Ice Challenge and NHL Hitz. Straight up fun hockey game. Comparing this to Old Time Hockey (Bush Hockey League) and it just will not, cannot compare to this gem.
The game is easy to pick up, being a NHL Hitz fan i found an exploit for easy goals as you had to with Midway games, and this game has that same feel. One on one with the way you change lines is VERY refreshing especially with arcade hockey games. The atmosphere is fantastic as well. Overall great game.

Do I recommend? yes! what this game lacks in graphics or even content it makes up in gameplay. The puck physics and the ice skating controls are amazing! You’ll be glued to your pc for hours, no need to even like Ice Hockey. At first the keeper may seem to defend everything but you’ll get there like I did, one of my current favorite games.

Super Blood Hockey
Super Blood Hockey is an awesome game, Fluid and Simple Controls, Pixel graphics and 4 Player Local coop or versus. It does not take the sport too seriously and there is a lot of blood.
It is a nice take on the classic hockey games of the early 90s. Anything is allowed and getting trough a match without a fight is pretty rare. Players can get injured and wil just bleed oud on the ice, There is even an achievement for it, “One for the dumpster” You can play any game up to 4 players, you can play for the same team, you can play versus or mix and match.

This is the hockey game I’ve been wanting for almost 30 years.
TL;DR: This game is awesome.
This game reminded me of a few different games. Ice Hockey, Blades of Steel, NHLPA ‘93, and NHL Hitz. Coincidentally, most of these have been my go-to games to get my fix of hockey violence. SBH seems to take elements from all of them, make , and then wrap them into one. I revisited and played all of these games plus others to refresh my memory and make these comparisons as accurate as possible.
For reference: SBH = Super Blood Hockey

Tape to Tape
The addictive gameplay loop of a Roguelike campaign in a Hockey game? Start with a below-average team and progressively improve it with the choices you make during each successive runs. Unlock new players, buy and upgrade equipment, discover new storylines. Stay tuned, updates are coming shortly with more details!
Gameplay
Tape to Tape combines the fast-paced gameplay of 90s hockey games with the gameplay enhancements of modern games, combining the best from arcade and sim-like games. Modern hockey games are focused on emulating real hockey games. The games are centered around puck possession and slower gameplay. Tape to Tape is much faster with more emphasis on speed and counter-attacks while staying true to the sport of hockey.
On offense, the players’ can easily skate across the ice thanks to the skaters’ high acceleration and maximum speed. With the tap of a button, the player can pass the puck successively for high-speed counter-attacks.
On defense, the speed-burst mechanic allows players to always be in the middle of the action and deliver crushing body checks anywhere on the ice.
The game features hand-drawn 2D player sprites and animations within a 3D environment. The game is visually different from everything else on the market. 2D animation allows the game to have much more personality in its design and animations!

Smackball
Awesome game capable of providing an immense amount of fun for you and your friends! It is easily noticeable that the game was made with love and polished to perfection. This can be seen from the visuals, which are clean but very pleasant, to the mechanics and gameplay, which are perfectly balanced.
What looks like a very simple game, quickly turns into an addictive, fun and competitive experience. The amount of game mode customization is huge. Controls and mechanics are easy to pick up, but try playing with a person who has twice the hours you invested in the game (or more)… Hint, it’s crazy fun to do that.

Smackball is a competitive two-player game with a simple concept, but a lot of depth in it’s mechanics. While it is easy to learn the basic controls, you will need to master the time management and stamina control if you want to beat your friends. The game has few game modes, and each of them has a unique point that makes them interesting. Personally, I recommend the power ups mode as it has a little bit more tactics in it than the other modes.

Ping Pong Space - Retro Tennis
“You get what you pay for”, yeah, that’s pretty much the way to sum up the experience with this game. That said, don’t expect a masterpiece, it’s a basic game that you can use to kill some time whenever you feel like it.
This title doesn’t really have a “story mode” available or something, but there’s a campaign of 60 levels that you can get to beat, in order to complete it. The more you advance, the more complex the levels get, with obstacles that you need to avoid, or that you can also try to use it in order to fool the AI.

I played for 10 minutes very stoned. It has a (one) good retro sountrack. You can play this waiting for Windjammers 2.
