About the game

Step up to a colourful 1980s arcade table in Mallet Mayhem '84. Guide your mallet with the mouse, line up bank shots, face three AI difficulty levels, or challenge a Steam friend in private online 1v1. Play best-of-three matches from two camera views.

Original Steam description

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.
