Hockey with a Victorian twist is nearing completion for iPad. Among new features and higher-resolution images is the new 'Time Traveler' table. More news from SteamPunk Hockey Central Planning as our Telegraphists receive wireless missives from overseas!
This is, without a doubt, my favorite air hockey game on the iPhone. If the price is right, I won't mind buying it again.
Wow Kenn, Nice job Buddy! I just got my 64gb iPad so I will be ready to go on one of my favorites Can't wait to play this one!
I love the touch version, so if the price is right, I will pick up the ipad version when it comes out.
SteamPunk Hockey HD submitted to App Store Guys, thanks for waiting. SteamPunk Hockey for iPad's just been submitted to the App Store! The current feature set resembles the current iPhone version with switchable sound and particles, and selection of paddles and discs. However, 'Central Planning' is proud to announce its talented artisans from exotic locations have provided two new backgrounds, the aforementioned 'time Traveller' and a light-hearted 'SteamPumpkin Hallowe'en' background for the family types. SteamPunk Hockey 'HD' can be played as a 'huddle' game with 1, 2, 3 or four players - so you can gang up or double up against opponents. Also, all four orientations are supported for menu and game play screens. The next iPhone version is expanding the gameplay into new territories, and the iPad version's next update will benefit from these additions too. Central Planning at 'SteamPunkHockeyopolis' is requesting secrecy until then. Thanks mates for your time and support of this game!
Thanks Bazooka - I hope you'll comment and critique the game when you do. The big delay was due to new client work that came about after releasing SteamPunk Hockey for iPhone. There are new features partially completed for both versions for the next update that I hope will also increase your fun with this game. ** Update ** SteamPunk Hockey 'HD' has just changed status at Apple to 'In Review'!

Läuft super gut und die steuerung ist präzise." 5/5 "Amazing!!! This should be the number one PAID app. The developer outdid him/her/themself with this one!!! THANK YOU" 5/5 "This game is so much more fun than most regular air hockey games. The graphics are great, with a magical-like feel because of all the colored sparks, but what I love most are the sound effects. Every time the puck is hit you hear musical notes. Sweet!" 5/5 The boffins at Central Planning are proud to announce SteamPunk Hockey for iPad has been conveyed to the App Store.Exotic artisans from various points east and west of the globe have generously provided new art for the theme-driven game. ‘Time Traveller‘ and the holiday-themed ‘SteamPumpkin Hallowe’en‘ round out the current offerings to six choice backgrounds.The fellows in Mechanics have worked both over-time and magic into the iPad offering to produce a new ‘Huddle-phonic’ sensation – up to four players may compete on the iPad electrical device! Man against robot, man against fellow man, a gutter dust-up of two against one, or equal odds for the noble-hearted.Mechanics have also added a ‘Lucid Re-configuration Circuit’ to redraw the screen as the device is rotated in-hand. Therefore SteamPunk Hockey may be played in any orientation, laterally or vertically.Lest we forget, the Futurists will have left a note on Central Planning’s desks – how will they have done that? – that sea change is coming to SteamPunkHockeyopolis’ competitive features.

On release day we discovered a bug with the menu button in-game, so I delayed the release date until a corrected update is sent and approved by Apple. I'd like to ask your opinion on waiting for this corrected update or accessing the game now? We're really looking forward to having SteamPunk Hockey in your hands. The next update after this is going to have more competitive features for you to enjoy.

The upside is now we have custom music from MorningDew Media (morningdewmedia.com/) in-game. We'll seek an expedited review from Apple for this one. Cheers and thanks BazookaTime!

XyrisKenn Well-Known Member Nov 14, 2009 87 0 0 Developer Czech Republic http://blog.xyris.ca/ #20 XyrisKenn, Dec 1, 2010 Hello BazookaTime, at the risk of straining credulity, it is. I've submitted a Retina/Game Center update of the iPhone Version, and getting SteamPunk Hockey iPad ready to go. As you know there was a flaw discovered in returning the menu on the same day we obtained an actual test device. It was approved by Apple but we postponed the release to fix this improve the touch response. Thank you very much for following up and asking about SteamPunk Hockey iPad. I'm becoming your #1 fan!
