Hockey was met with mostly positive reception.[13] Robert Jung reviewed the game which has been published on IGN gave Hockey a score of 7 out of 10.[2]

gollark: There's something to be said for not having a million language extensions too.
gollark: We need a version using the Banach-Tarski theorem or whatever it is.
gollark: It wasn't very tasty.
gollark: You may also note that performance is not on there, because I don't actually care as long as it runs quite fast.
gollark: Also, nicer lifetimes/borrowing somehow.
