    Air Hockey Arcade by Arroyo Games, looking for beta testers!

    Our game has been known as Ice Hockey Kings lately, but we needed to change the title.
    Anyway, we got 10 beta invitations for anyone, who will write the most interesting gameplay mode to put in our game,
    and 5 invitations that we are going to give away randomly for people from this topic, don't write us pms or mails, we will choose directly from here.

    Good Luck :)

    Air Hockey Arcade is still in work in progress status.
    It's going to be a variation about air hockey, but with much more fun, full 3D environment and models, unique graphic style, bonuses,
    many modes to choose from, and real hockey match atmosphere with bottles thrown from the crowd, fights, and everything has an impact
    on the gameplay.

    It will support iPhone and iPad in the future. Apart from playing with the AI, you can play it with a friend on one iPhone, as well as by WiFi
    and Bluetooth.

    Some of the features:
    - customizable avatars (e.g you can choose your favourite color and face)
    - many gameplay modes, like Arcade, Time Trial, special modes like exploding puck, throwing bottle,
    challenges (e.g. escape from thrown bottles as long as you can)
    - fights! In a form of a quick time events
    - bonuses, similar to NHL Arcade on PSN, e.g. supershot, stun, slowdown
    - openfeint with trophies and achievements

    Here are a few screens from AHA:

    Good ideas! We got a mode which is called The Black Ice mode, which is more s-f or even cyberpunk style, screens will be adde soon!
    Also, during a match you can take a bonus, which will slow everything down and you have a small amount of time to make a supershot..

    There will be smth similar to shoot out mode, details soon.

    EMTKiNG, please send us a pm with your iPhone's UDiD, and we will send you a beta :)

    Hi I would like to be a beta tester, and I think a cool game mode would be with 3gs feature, which is the white on black. Maybe it could be something like when It is asked to switch, it could be a bonus mode, or something along those lines.

    In the bluetooth mode you could have a competition where you cand your friend go against a CP using spot kicks(think of a penalty shootout in soccer)

    Ok let's see, game modes.

    Boss Mode: The puck does damage, so you don't need to scored but actually hit the enemy, but the enemy can also stop the puck receiving no damage and send it back to you stronger so you gotta be cautious (dodge ball style).

    Physics are your friend mode: the field is uneven, so some areas require more strenght than others to get the puck through, some add speed, some take it away and even some (in the case of a lateral inclination) change the direction of the puck for added challenge.

    Pucks are food, not friends: In this mode you're competing against someone else, but not in the normal style on on each side, but actually you both fight for the puck control in order to get a chance at scoring at an empty (or with a goalkeeper to make it harder) goal.

    Play dirty mode: This one plays like a normal mode, but you can throw pieces of your equipment at your enemy, which makes you faster, but also more vulnerable. In this mode you have a stamina bar that decreases and makes you slower if you take too much damage (so the throwing of the equipment and dodging gets more strategic).

    That puck is on fire!: Not only is the puck way faster, but it is actually on fire, so the field is slowly melting, you need to completely melt your enemie's side w/o getting all of your side melt and drowned (lol), the melted parts have heavier physics so the ball gets slower while going through them.

    That's all for now, hope I get in :p

    How about a dust mode, where the screen gets always dusty and you can't see really good.

    Or an ant mode. Ants crawl about your screen and you have to shake your iPhone that they fall down. But they always come back :D

    Edit:
    Or an dizzy mode, where the screen warps and turns.

    Nice idea Rblacula :)
    How about a neon mode: It's dark, but you can see the characters and the puck glowing in different colours.
