About Puck
Puck delivers a fast‑paced, physics‑driven hockey simulation where every pass, shot and body check reacts to realistic puck dynamics. The game’s fluid gameplay creates unpredictable, skill‑based moments that keep each match fresh and competitive.
Players can choose to skate as forwards, defensemen or goaltenders, joining solo or online matches. With indie roots and free‑to‑play pricing, Puck offers both single‑player and multiplayer experiences across Windows, macOS and Linux, supporting family sharing and Steam Workshop content.

Physics Simulation
The core of Puck is its realistic physics engine, which governs puck movement, collisions and player interactions. This system makes each play feel organic and varies with player input.
Because physics drive every action, outcomes can differ from match to match, encouraging players to adapt their strategies on the fly.
- Observe how the puck reacts after a hard shot; adjusting your timing can improve accuracy.
- Watch rebounds off the boards to anticipate second‑chance opportunities.
