Glow Hockey 2 Pro is free today from the Amazon Appstore. The added name "Pro" brings nothing bug ad-free gaming to the table, literally.
The gameplay is solid and arguably top in its class. This app has been played across nearly every platform including Palm devices, now HP I guess, and iOS. Though its major fault lies in the noticeable lag when swiping for the puck. Your paddle will not stay with your finger and this accounts for 99% of goals against yourself. As you go to defend your goal after missing the shot, you'll knock the puck into your own goal.
During my first play session in Championship mode, I made it to level 9 before I lost. I was exploiting the cpu by returning their server as a left bank shot and it would either go in on one bounce or the cpu's puck would knock it in. Worked every time so long as the angle was right. I just aimed for the center of the side wall on the cpu half of the field.
Fully customizable fields, pucks and paddles may keep you coming, but one shining feature is the 2-players-on-one-screen mode. Each of you hold either end of the device and play a round to see who can adjust to the lag the quickest.
Ironically, the number of reviews on the Amazon page for this app forms a nice image depicting AT&Ts signal bars, from 1-star to 5-stars. Download this app today for free and get future updates free too.
