Tennis Game

Tennis Game is a straightforward singles match against the computer. You cover your half of the court, move to meet the ball and return it, and points build into games the same way they do on a real court. There is no trick shot system and no upgrade path, which leaves the rallies themselves to carry the game: the opponent will happily punish a lazy return, and a match is decided by whether you get back to the middle after each shot.

This title is best suited to a short, familiar tennis match against the computer.

1. Move along your half of the court to meet the ball
2. Return the shot before it bounces twice
3. Recover toward the middle after every return
4. Win enough points to take the game and the match

• Mouse / drag: Move your player and return the ball
• Arrow keys: Move along the court on desktop

Objectives

• Win rallies against the computer opponent
• Take enough points to win the match
• Keep your positioning tight between shots

The run ends or fails when

• The ball bounces twice on your side, giving the point away
• The opponent reaches the winning score first

• Single-player rallies against computer opposition
• Court positioning and recovery
• Traditional tennis scoring

• Return toward the corner the opponent has just left
• Recover to the centre line after every shot rather than watching the ball
• Vary the depth of your returns instead of hitting the same length twice
