Retro Hockey

RETROHOCKEY

Retro arcade ice hockey with 32 teams and 800 players in the Retro Hockey League. Wind up slap shots, line up hits on the boards, and play online with up to 10 friends.

Full hockey, in pixels

Every player has their own ratings, and the game plays by the full rules: offsides you can see coming, icing, penalties and power plays, overtime and shootouts.

Skill-stick shooting

Hold to aim and watch the trajectory. The longer and redder the line, the harder the shot. Pull back and push forward for a slap shot.

Parties of up to 10

Everyone picks HOME or AWAY and the CPU fills the gaps. Public parties show up for anyone on your wifi; private ones are friends and invites only.

Friends & leaderboard

Unique usernames, friend search, invites that pop up in-game with a check or an X, and a top 10 for the world or any country.

Goalies that think

They square up, shuffle, drop into the butterfly, hug the post and skate out to play the puck. Catch one and you have 2 seconds to move it.

Two-stick touch controls

Left stick skates, right stick shoots and hits, a tap passes. Add it to your iPhone home screen and it runs fullscreen.

Keeps going if the leader leaves

Lose the party leader mid-game and the next player takes over hosting. The CPU covers anyone who drops until they come back.

Pick your rink

Same game everywhere, and parties work across all of them.
