Thanks for the feedback! The thematic of the game is basically children playing on a lake, so it needs stay super light and playful (so no fighting or penalties) but I think exploring a checking mechanic might be interesting if it doesn't break the pacing or makes the game frustrating. I will look into it! Also I will replace the current player (who is a baseball player haha) with a real hockey player, which will look tons better. I will look into non-browser versions as well. Cheers
I can imagine your future hockey player models look like 3d version of the nes hockey players mixed with powerpro chibi-style players. i hope you found the player models your looking for to fit your game.
