Drake And Josh Air Hockey Overview
Drake and Josh Air Hockey was one of those simple Flash games you'd find on a fan site in the mid 2000s. It was a straightforward take on air hockey, using the characters from the popular Nickelodeon show as a familiar backdrop. The game didn't try to be anything more than a quick digital version of the tabletop game, and that was its appeal during the era of browser based gaming.
You pick either Drake or Josh to control a single paddle on your side of the table. Using your mouse, you slide the paddle back and forth to deflect the puck. The main goal is to get the puck past your opponent's paddle and into their goal. The mechanics are basic; you can angle your shots by hitting the puck with different parts of your paddle, and the game keeps a running score. The pace is quick, and the AI opponent provides a decent challenge, making you react faster as the match goes on. It feels like a responsive, if simple, simulation of flicking a puck across a smooth surface.
