Online Air Hockey Game

Air Hockey is a classic arcade game that you can play for free online. In this game, you need to score 10 points against your computer opponent to win. In contrary to what you may think, taking it nice and slow is more effective than hard and fast.

Air Hockey comes with a choice between 3 skill levels. The first called 'Wussy', is great for getting an idea of how the game is played. It would also be good for kids or those new to using mouse movements to navigate online games. Personally I didn't find a lot difference between 'Wussy' and the next level called 'Medium'. Experienced players will enjoy the challenge of the 'Awesome' level the most.
