Tennis Master

Tennis Masters is a side-on cartoon tennis game with big-headed players. You can play it alone, but the friendly match for two on one keyboard is the main reason to try it.

The menu has three buttons: 1 Player, 2 Players and Quick Match.

2 Players opens a Friendly Match screen. Each player scrolls through a list of cartoon tennis players with arrow buttons. Each player has a name and a country flag. Then you press Play.

The match is shown from the side on a grass court, with the net in the middle. The controls are printed at the top of the screen during the match:

Player 1 (left): W, A and D to move, V to hit, B to smash.
Player 2 (right): the arrow keys to move, L to hit, K to smash.

A scoreboard at the bottom shows both players' names and the score.

We'll be honest: our test was short. Pressing V made Player 1 toss the ball up to serve, but we didn't get a proper rally going. According to the developer, there are also power-ups and funny transformations during matches. We didn't see those.

How to play

Choose 2 Players.
Each player picks a tennis player with the arrow buttons, then press Play.
Player 1 moves with W, A and D, hits with V and smashes with B.
Player 2 moves with the arrow keys, hits with L and smashes with K.
Win points by hitting the ball where your opponent can't return it.

Tips

Hold the movement keys to get into position before the ball arrives.
Use the smash when the ball is high and close to the net.
The controls stay on the screen during the match, so you don't need to remember them.
Want to practise first? Choose 1 Player or Quick Match.
