First and foremost, the lack of single iPhone multiplayer for an air hockey game is just sort of inexcusable. Secondly, having the puck in front of the finger helps with playing without obscuring the playing field in front of you, but it’s not uncommon to want to see behind you, which you can’t do with the finger blocking. Tried horizontal offset but steering only felt awkward that way. Didn’t like the game, deleted it even though I paid for it.
