Tennis
Side-on tennis vs the computer — move, time your swing, and rally to 7.
How to play Tennis
You control the small player on the left side of the court, seen from the side. Move with the ← and → arrow keys (or drag), and swing with Space or a tap when the ball is close to you. Your timing sets the angle and power: hit it cleanly and the ball arcs over the net and lands deep in the opponent's court. Rally back and forth until someone nets the ball, hits it out, or fails to return it. Serve alternates each point; the first player to 7 points, leading by two, wins the match. On phones an auto-swing assist helps you connect.

Tennis — frequently asked questions
How do I hit the ball?
Move under the incoming ball with the arrow keys or by dragging, then press Space or tap when it is near you. The closer your timing, the more controlled and deeper your shot.
How do I win a point?
You win a point when your opponent hits the ball into the net, sends it out of the court, or lets it bounce twice without returning it. Faults work the same way against you.
How is the match scored?
It is first to 7 points and you must lead by two, so a close match can go past 7. Serve switches sides after every point. Winning a match adds to your all-time wins on the leaderboard.
