And the winner is...
November 29, 2010 01:19 PM
All your contest ideas were so good that I had a very, very hard time deciding on a winner. For this, I curse you all. Although all ideas were creative, and I would love to use every single idea, I was forced to choose one that: 1) was technically feasible, 2) fit the speed and size of the game, and 3) filled an aesthetic gap in the existing air hockey tables. The winner is Shannon Abbey for her bird painting idea. I hope that I can do justice to this vision in implementing it. Thank you all for your contest entries. It was fun to see the entries come in. I just wish I had an iPad for everyone. To those who were really hoping for an iPad, Santa might be your next hope. I will implement this air hockey table over the next month or so, and submit an update of FlairHockey to the iTunes App Store when it is ready. Thanks again for entering the contest.

Thank you everyone for entering my iPad contest. The winner will be decided and announced in the next couple days. There are some interesting and creative entrees, and it won’t be easy picking the winner. After the winner is selected and the iPad is awarded, I will be implementing the winning entry for a future release of FlairHockey. I can’t wait to see the result!

FlairHockey comes to the iPhone
August 24, 2010 12:49 PM
FlairHockey, the top-of-the-line air hockey game for the iPad, is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. And, best of all, it’s free! Download it and give it a try. It has a number of different tables to choose from, and more available now, and more on the way! From the standard Arcade table, to the 11-marble frenzy, to a splashy colorful Painter table. Download the hand-drawn Graph Paper table for free. And check out the extra tables - 3 different tables for one low price. FlairHockey Free is available for free because it displays ads (don’t worry, they don’t get in the way of game play), and you can buy add-ons for real money. You can buy a set of extra tables, and a set of extra paddles and pucks, including a Superstealth invisible paddle, a Supercharged paddle, Supersmall, and Supersized paddles. Also, if ads in between games annoy you, you can purchase an ad-free version. Visit our in-app store.
