The Pub - Air Hockey

Archive: 9 posts


Hey guys, I just did a somewhat large update on my ancient Air Hockey game. Its basic set on a pub table. I'd gladly do F4F for anyone who is willing to give me a review. I hope you guys like it and i can't wait to hear something back. Enjoy!

Haha yea i see that. I've been working on major updates for some of my other levels but i've been dedicating most of my lbp time to making this look and feel like legit air hockey. It smooth and it feels right when you're playing it. I've got another pic with my latest update here.

Keep in mind, I'm more than willing to do some F4F for people if anyone wants to give it a go.

Okay, I just played it, and it plays great. I felt, however that the arena was a tad too small, and sometimes the controls felt a bit sluggish. The visuals work great, and the gameplay, is extremely simple, yet also very fun! My biggest gripe is the lack of a score. Without a score, I have no way of asserting my dominance at the scoreboard! All that owning at the table means nothing!
Joking aside the lack of a score is a pretty big thing here. Those are really my only complaints.

Now I think the size of the arena is a sort of personal preference thing, so maybe you could start us out in a sort of "hub" where we can chose he size of an area to play, and even the score limit. Perhaps let us return there after a game to play again, and give us an end button, rather than just ending the game after one play. I think maybe a four player function would also be a possible addition, albeit very difficult.

I see great potential in this, the shortcomings are insignificant and the possibilities are many. Yet even now, it's simple and fun. And that's all that's anyone ever asked for!

I enjoyed this level. It controlled well, it was fun, and it looked great as well. My only concern would be the paddle size. The puck is nearly as big as them, and it makes it hard to maneuver the puck at times. Otherwise great level. I sucked at it. :hero:2012-08-14 09:23:00

Wow. This was one of the best air hockey games I've played. The physics were great and the paddles moved at a good speed. I think that the table was a bit small though. Also, because of the size of the paddle a player can block the entire goal and just camp out there. As I've mentioned to other air hockey creators I think you should add a jukebox of some sort and/or the ability to change the background. Just suggestions. Great work you have here though.

As for the F4F... If you could check out my Metal Gear Sackboy: Unraveling Stitches (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=72941-Metal-Gear-Sackboy-Unraveling-Stitches) series I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for playing guys. Glad you like it. As for the paddle size, I have been having an issue with the puck disappearing through the paddles. This is the most accurate in size that i can get them without that happening I've tweaked materials and such and this just seems to work best. I would love to come up with a jukebox for this. Thats an awesome idea. I'm also going to do menus and select-able tables/themes.2012-08-18 06:18:00

Just played this and I thought it was awesome! I loved the scenery and how well it played. The only thing I would recommend is changing the speed of the paddle as I thought it was too fast. Like maybe, hold L1 (or any of those shoulder buttons) to make it go slower and release to increase (lolrhymes) speed? And possibly a rematch option instead of having to reply the level?

But whatever, great level. Heart and yay is what I gave it.

Very nice work here. Maybe I will repeat some things but it will be cool to see in this level:
- Different environment with different size tables
- Play alone with bot
- Changing speed of the paddle in realtime
- replay level without "play again"
But still its a very nice level. Heart

Please feedback this level (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=73261-Awake-(horror-quest))
