Badass Tennis

About

Whack the ball back and forth in this over-the-top tennis battler. Players swing racquets with a single touchscreen tap or button press sending projectiles careening across the court. Choose to grind through solo challenges team up for local split screen or challenge another person online. The controls are simple but the action ramps up fast with power-ups and wild spin effects adding chaos to every rally. The game’s pixelated art style and loud sound effects lean into its goofy energy. With 82% positive reviews on Steam it thrives as a quick pick-up-and-play session. Developer Matt Hillmer designed it for mobile first but the fast matches work just as well on bigger screens. Released in June 2021 it still pops up in casual gaming circles for its messy fun and competitive potential.
