ITS HOCKEY TIME!
And Welcome to the First Release of Light The Lamp Hockey in Early Access!
It has been a lot of work to get this thing ready for release to Early Access and unfortunately I have not had the time to show what all I have been working on. Instead I will uncover some of the big changes that you will notice from the Demo version to the Early Access Release.
For some of you on the Fence about what is included in the game, I will list the features that are completed at this time. By "Completed" I mean it works as intended with limited bugs detected.

Known Bugs
-There is a weird icing bug that's real rare. The results are no transition and the clock keeps running until the next period begins.
-The Camera may get stuck on one end or the other but I also think this is very rare.
-The record keeping may be a little screwy from time to time on Arcade Mode about the last game played.
Arcade Mode
I created this mode to be what I wish arcade ports of yesteryears would have implemented. A Dynamic Leaderboard for you to chase and get in to the playoffs! And in case you are wondering, The CPU is generating those Initials and some do give you quite a laugh.
Each Season is 10 games against Random Opponents. Super fun when coop-ing with a friend. The Points are measured by a Win + Shutout + Goal Win Margin. So don't be afraid to just run that score right up. IT MAY JUST HELP YOU LATER. You can also be deducted 2 points for each loss. After the first game of the Season, the Rankings are revealed and the chase begins. To Qualify for the playoffs you must beat the 4th place opponent by 1 or more points. If you are number one at the end of the season, you get the Pitcher Trophy!
The Playoffs.
This is indeed the gauntlet. 4 Consecutive matches that you must win to Acquire the Almighty Ship!
Hitting is more prevalent and the one blown coverage could mean you are hitting the golf course or snack drawer to reset and start again!
Thank you and See you on the ICE!
