Do you enjoy air hockey? Are you always up for a little adventure? If so, then Shufflepuck Cantina might be a great app to try. I personally have played several air hockey apps, because it brings out my childhood love for the game, but I have never actually seen an adventure game based on it. The developers at Agharta Studio have aimed to change that with Shufflepuck Cantina.

The graphics, cast of original characters, and broad storyline in this app are quite impressive. The developers start out be giving you a fairly long introduction to game to get your started and then send you on your way for over 250 missions pushing you to over 100 hours of game play. The game features three floors, nine 3D animated opponents, and over 40 gadgets to collect on your journey. And of course, the big draw will be “special strikes” you can accumulate to thrust on your opponent in order to win your matches.

Although you would think it is hard in theory to build an adventure game based on air hockey (i.e. shufflepuck), the developers seem to pull it off well with Shufflepuck Cantina. The actual shufflepuck tables are breathtaking in design and show an impressive attention to detail.
