This is a fast action original game idea. I don't think there is a pinball table that even resembles this. Wheel Art included in ZIP file.
 
Overview
--------

The object of the game is to shoot the puck into the top goal and not lose it down the drain, which is your goal. If you beat all three teams you become the Hockey Pinball champion!
 
The visiting team (your opponent) consists of drop targets that look like hockey players. Their locations change depending on how the game is going. They have strategies like more aggressive offense or stronger defense.

First team to get 5 goals wins a game! You will get a trophy for each round you win! This has all the action and sounds of real hockey, including a rink announcer, crowd noise and music! Enjoy!

RULES
-----

To Score
--------
You must first knock down at least one goalie drop-target so that the puck can get through to the net. If you knock down all 3 targets, the net will remain without a goalie ("empty net") for 10 seconds before they all pop back up.
 
Aside from the hockey score you will also get a "normal" pinball score (why I do not know LOL). Gain points for hitting defensemen, getting goals, and everything else.

 
Nudging
-------
Nudging is part of the game and is encouraged, however each "nudge" adds to your Penalty Meter, so use them wisely! 


Penalty Meter
-------------
If your Penalty Meter gets full white, you are rewarded with a 30 second "Power Play". 
If your Penalty Meter gets full red you must serve a 30 sec Penalty.
 

Power Plays
-----------
To earn a Power Play you must fill the left (white) side of the Penalty Meter. You can add points to the meter in several ways, including doing a "line change", shooting the puck into the visitor penalty box, or shooting the puck all the way around the top boards behind the visitor net.

Once the meter is full you will be given a 30 second Power Play. This means less defensemen will be on the ice and you will have a much easier time taking shots at the goal, as well as defending your own. if you score a goal the Power Play will end.


Penalty
-------
You will be charged with a penalty when the right (red) side of the Penalty Meter is full. You can add points to the meter in several ways, including every time you nudge the table, or shooting the puck into your own penalty box. 

You will get 2 penalty points if you get called for "Delay Of Game". Holding the puck too long with the paddles will earn you this penalty. It will also prolong a penalty if you are already serving one.

If you make it through the 30 second penalty withour being scored on, you will have successfully "Killed" the penalty.


"Slap Shot!"
------------ 
When activated (lower right), the other team can blast a hard shot either at your goal, or ricochet it off a defender for a "one-timer". You never know which one it will attempt, but be quick - the shot is fast! Each shot has a different way to defend against it.

I hope you enjoy this unique and original pinball game. I created it myself and it is free for anyone to play.
