My first impression of Slap Shots! is that it's not fun. You tap the screen to stop a player aimlessly spinning and the longer you hold the stronger the shot. That's as far as gameplay goes - it's really basic and not fun.
The only redeeming feature is the graphics are ok, but they are a copy of Crossy Road.
You can't go wrong with the pixel art style, it looks great, but the gameplay is too simple and I have no urge to go back and play more.
It's fun for about five minutes before the game gets boring. I think you could pick up this game every now and again have fun for a few minutes.
Matt KingThe single player game is not interesting as it doesn't feel challenging or fun. After scoring ten points I was done with the game.
Maybe multiplayer might generate some enjoyment because single player does not.

The game isn't challenging. I do like the art style but it doesn't suit this game. They need to have more player movement and speed up the rotation because it's too easy.
Aaron Carey
This game is ok, I mean, there really isn't much to it. The graphics are fine but gameplay is not enthralling, and that's really all there is.
I would not recommend this unless you are an ice hockey fan.
