Tuned physics
Puck and paddle physics are tuned for satisfying rebounds, so every shot and block behaves the way your hands expect.
Fast neon air hockey, tuned for a fair challenge.
Rinkglow is air hockey the way it should feel on a phone: fast, glowing, and honest. One neon rink, real physics, and an opponent that plays fair — no energy timers, no coin shops, and no ads, ever.
Coming SoonSupport
A rink that feels right
Your paddle, your finger
The paddle follows your finger precisely — no lag, no drift — because a rally is only fun when control is never in question.
Rallies that keep moving
Smart serve logic and stall detection keep the puck in play instead of letting a match die in a corner.
An opponent that earns the win
Three real difficulty tiers
Casual for quick fun, Arcade for real matches, and Expert for players who want to sweat — three genuinely different play styles, not one AI with a speed slider.
No scripted outcomes
There is no rubber-banding and there are no scripted losses. When you win a match, you won it on the same physics the AI plays by.
No ads, ever
The ad-free experience is the point, not a paid extra. Rinkglow never interrupts a rally, and there are no energy timers or coin shops anywhere in the game.
Made for quick sessions
A match in minutes
Scores, kickoffs, celebrations, and play-again — a complete match fits into a short break, then you get back to life.
Two players, one device
Play solo against the AI, or share a single device for a local two-player air hockey game — fully offline either way.
Respectful on your device
Rinkglow respects Reduce Motion, plays fully offline, and keeps preferences and progress on your devices.
Pre-release availability
Rinkglow is in active development for iPhone and iPad and is not yet available to download, so this page intentionally provides no App Store offer, price, or promised launch date. The planned free experience is Casual difficulty with unlimited matches, free forever. Optional Lifetime Access — a one-time purchase, no subscription — unlocks the Arcade and Expert tiers. There are no ads at any tier, ever.
Maker note
Why the opponent never cheats
Mobile sports games usually manage you: rubber-banding to keep matches artificially close, energy timers to ration your play, ads wedged between rallies. Rinkglow does none of that. The AI plays a genuinely different style at each tier and wins or loses on the same physics you do, because a fair opponent is what makes a two-minute match worth replaying.
