About Hockey Hero
Hockey Hero drops the match and keeps the part everybody watches. You stand alone against a goalie and you take your shot. Each shot needs speed and a target, and the goalie is there to read both. A run lasts ten attempts, then the points are counted.
The score goes to a leaderboard, so the game is built around beating your own total as much as anybody else's. It runs wide at 800 by 600 and works on a phone and on a desktop. We have not played it, so treat the strength of the goalie and the number of shot types as unknown.
How to play
- Line up the shot against the goalie.
- Pick the corner of the net you want.
- Fire, and watch where the goalie moves.
- Repeat until your ten attempts are gone.

Tips
- Watch which way the goalie leans before each shot, then send the puck the other way.
- Ten attempts is a short run. A wasted shot early costs more than a miss at the end.
