Competition Between Skills and Strategies in Tennis
Arcade Tennis brings a completely novel approach to playing in the sports genre, where skill, timing, and the right mental attitude are the decisive factors instead of just heavy power. The player is faced with a very important decision for every shot made during the match, which is beautifully presented in colorful 3D voxel-style graphics and supported by a one-of-a-kind hoop scoring system.
Fun and Simple Gameplay but Hard to Master
The game is similar to tennis, but it has its own unique and different features. On the court, glowing hoops replace the lines, and the players can see them. Players need to adapt their hitting direction and timing to get the ball through the hoop.
- Hitting the hoop: get points and coins
- Hitting off-beat or too slow: lose a precious chance
There is a limit on the number of shots for each rally, which makes every swing under high pressure and needing total focus.
Inventive Hoop Scoring System
The method of scoring through hoops is the primary feature that sets Arcade Tennis apart from other tennis games. Not only do players have to pass the ball over the net, but also:
- Determine the position of the ring exactly
- Alter the angle of the shot
- Get power and speed control
This mechanism turns each rally into a skill-based challenge and not just a matter of who has the fastest reflexes.
