Robots are taking over, and it's up to you, a great tennis player, to save the day.

Don't get hit!

Controls:

WASD - Move

Mouse - Aim

Left Click - Swing Racket

Space - Dodge(in movement direction)

Right Click - Dodge(in mouse direction)

I don't really understand how this follows the theme, but its still fun. Good idea for a game I'd like to see it expanded upon.

That was really fun! As the tennis balls increase, there is a strong sense of urgency :) Takes some practice to use the dodge properly as well! very solid game :ok_hand:

This felt really satisfying, and those sound effects where perfect. Controls could got a bit sluggish for me a times (maybe because of browser lag?), but it was still a lot of fun!

This is awesome! The game is simple, but I REALLY like the sound design, the sound effects really adds to the game and the music in the background is a nice touch. The graphics are well done and just adds to the craziness of being a tennis player trying to beat down robots. My favorite part is the gameplay, shooting the balls back feels great AND it fits with the theme!

Best pong ever, would pong again. Clever mechanics! Good sounds and sprites, as well. Great job!

The music is awesome! Very fun to play, and satisfying to explode the robots. Had a great time playing this, good work.

good fun, though sometimes got a bit laggy. The graphics don't really do it for me, but it has a ridiculous concept that I love. Over all I enjoyed the experience, so good job!

This felt good and was quite fun! I also dig the art. I would have liked the bullets to be bigger though :)

The art was really cute, and the game felt nice to play! I discovered I could just spam left click and deflect basically everything, but I still really enjoyed it! Good work!

The animations are really well polished, congrats on that. The game is really fun too. Maybe more background like maye a crowd rooting for you would make it even sillier and more fun :D

Love the pixel art and sounds! Very satisfying to play, I think some delay in the attacks and acceleration/deceleration in the dashing would make it even more challenging and satisfying.

Really fun and super satisfying! I loved it! I think you might still be taking damage when you manage to hit their charge attack though?

Really nice animations! The increasing number of balls simultaneously helps and hinders, I love it. Good music, too!
