  • Basics
    • Serving
      • This is a cartoon arcade tennis game where you alternate serves with your opponent after each score.
      • You always serve from the lower right while your opponent serves from the upper left.
      • When it is your turn to serve a circle will appear in the lower right.
        • When you stand in that circle the ball will go in the air and then you have to hit the spacebar to hit the ball.
        • The ball can bounce multiple times before you initiate the serve.
    • Winning
      • Whoever gets to 50 points first wins.
      • If it is a simple advantage, you must score again to win the game.
    • Walking
      • You take rather slow but large steps.
        • You only move one leg at a time.
        • If your legs are stuck far apart from each other you won’t be able to move the closer foot until after the further away foot has moved near the closer foot.
      • It is generally best to stand far away from the net most of the time so you have plenty of time to respond to the ball.
        • You can move forward when you have the angle advantage to try to put your opponent away.
        • The game speeds up as you play, forcing you to respond faster.
    • Hitting
      • You can hit balls which have bounced twice, but can’t hit after the balls go out of bounds.
      • If you are moving when you swing the direction you are moving will impact the direction you hit the tennis ball.
      • If you are early on your swing you will slice it. If you are late you will hook it.
      • The screen turns a bit when the ball moves to either side of the screen.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple tennis games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
