Mallet Mayhem '84
Launches 5 November 2026 · PC
Story
Bring the rivalry back to the arcade. Bold colours, retro tunes and the thrill of one more match. Mallet Mayhem ’84 captures the nostalgia of the 1980s arcade, with an air-hockey table waiting for its next challenger. Introduced in 1972, air hockey made a floating puck and two mallets the ingredients for a lasting arcade rivalry. Timing, angles and a well-placed bank shot still make the difference. Built with Unreal Engine 5 , our game draws on research into real table construction, competitive techniques and puck dynamics. That research guides our effort to recreate the glide, rebounds and physical feel of playing across a real table. Take on Easy, Medium or Hard AI , or invite a Steam friend for a private 1v1 showdown . Choose your camera view, battle through best-of-three matches, then hit rematch to settle the score.
