The Ace is a 2D-3D game about a tennisman who also happens to be a spy, his mission is to infiltrate a Manor and bring back the Cup that contains microfilms. Having no other weapon than his racket and his wonderful aiming skills, he will meet many obstacles, will he be as discrete as a spy or his tennis habits will blew his cover ?

This game is design to be played with a controller, but you can also use your keyboard (at your risk).

Arrow Key / Joytstick to move
Ctrl/ Right Trigger to shoot
Shift and Alt / Bumpers to rotate the world.

Have fun :)

Nice, love the artstyle :)

Very nice, although it actually is playable with keyboard and mouse

Holy.... this deserves way more attention! Really great, fantastic art direction, really good level designs as well! The only minor thing I didn't like was the high-pitched warning sounds, but the overall game is really top notch!

niiiice, those enemy guys are scary :D some level are hard, but it's even interesting. I don't know what I would add here. I think it deserve to be ported to mobile platforms

waaaw WHat da fck game ! So funny, great graphics! This is so awesome ! Becareful, the game is a bit laggy sometimes, and even if it should ve been played on Gamepad, you should rework your mouse/keyboard input (the ball should go on mouse direction).
But still great ! The concept is really nice, god, one of the better realization of the theme ! 5/5 obviusly

Oh man this looks great, struggled a bit on the last level. Good experience :)

Nice combo tennis + infiltration. Nice graphics and gameplay. Hard to master but it becomes really fun after a few try. One of the funniest game i've tried of this jam.
We also tried to combine infiltration with sport (soccer actually). Try it at

Fun and catachy... masterful entry!

A very good entry all around, I really like those graphics! Contrary to expectation, it was quite playable with a keyboard. It was definitely a fun experience!

The game is a bit on the unstable side though, some graphical glitches and odd behaviour from time to time but fortunately nothing game-breaking happened. Also the Alt-button bugs out, looping the rotation until pressed again.

A job well done, big thumbs up!

Cute little game you have here. The style of it is really cute and it felt refreshing to play. Well done.

riordan27 Apr 2018, 19:42

Refreshing combo of genres and the graphics is really well done. I enjoyed the music too.
The game plays just fine on keyboard/mouse. Overall, I like it. Nice one.

This is a beautiful and really fun game to play. The only complain I have, is that it is too easy to run passed the enemies. So overall a very well made game. Well done.

It took me a while to complete the second level :D It can be a bit frustrating at times, but it all fits so well together. The humour, the artstyle, the gameplay. I really loved the way the enemies ran towards you. Felt like some silly Pixar or Disney character.

Great visuals and overall artstyle!

good background a weird but funny concept also i liked the dad's jokes hhh but u forgot some details like some pathways and like that he would escape without even trying to struggle if u know what i mean but so good continue

Impressive visuals, really good work. I also liked the humour in the game, it was a bit tricky to aim the shoots (probably because I was using keyboard+mouse), but overall this was a great jam entry and there is very few to said but congratulate the team!
