Planning is proud to announce SteamPunk Hockey for iPhone v1.1.0 update has been released from Central to the App Store.
This update features improvements to the AI and a simpler decision path which creates a smoother gameplay.
The playing disc and obstacles now flash interactively with impacts. The obstacles themselves can also be switched on and off at will according to the wishes of you, the gentle player.
Our mechanics have also engineered an adaptation which partially empties the game board when the large disc is selected.
More new features are on the way for SteamPunk Hockey!
