### 5/5 — Accurate/Good

*2026-08-02*

Great game! I play tennis in real life and it feels very accurate.

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2026-06-27, version 4.65*

It’s awesome

### 5/5 — Best tennis game 10/10

*2026-06-25*

The way this game is made is just so good it’s 2d 16bit perfection just as revolutionary as sonic the hedgehog 1 from 1991. Its just soo addictive I am currently a 3 star player good luck to everyone else

### 3/5 — Oui mais…. Non

*2026-06-25*

Extrêmement difficile à prendre en main au départ. En particulier le mode Touch Tennis que j’ai jamais compris d’ailleurs. Mais une fois qu’on comprend comment fonctionnent les commandes, le jeu devient addictif. On est très pris dedans (j’avoue que j’ai même payé pour pouvoir joué les tournois, je le fais pourtant jamais sur d’autres jeux). 

Gros point noir qui me fait arrêter le jeu : la difficulté devient beaucoup trop importante à partir de la saison 3. Déjà que c’était impossible de battre des top 10 avant, à partir de ce moment, on se fait battre par n’importe qui même en étant un joueur 4*. Soudain, les joueurs ne font aucune faute, leurs services annoncés faute sont in (ce qui nous arrive jamais à nous) et ils anticipent parfaitement chacun de nos coups. Ça devient impossible et franchement déplaisant.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-05-01, version 4.65*

Thought this game would be fun and it’s a great tennis game. Only problem is that the multiplayer mode does not work. If you’re trying to play with friends you can accept the invite, but it immediately boots you out of the game. Really bummed about that but the rest is good.

### 1/5 — so many ads

*2026-04-28, version 4.65*

this game runs so many ads i kid you not, after a series of ads finally ended my opponent won the first set. totally unfair and a prime example of how these ads take away from the playing experience.

### 5/5 — Doubles

*2026-04-27, version 4.65*

Please add doubles for multiplayer great game tho

### 1/5 — This game is so hard

*2026-04-03, version 4.65*

The learning curve is insane and the controls are ridiculous

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-03-12, version 4.65*

Games great. Maybe needs a bit of an update?

### 1/5 — No entiendo los controles

*2026-02-02, version 4.65*

Son una basura porque en el tutoríal te enseña algo que es imposible de hacer y de paso se nota que alguien común no lo usará en su vida 

Y si me quede en el tutorial porque el juego es una mrd
