Tennis in the Face Reviews

Well I got a coupon for this game so i bought it not expecting much and never gave it a second thought. Today me and my co-worker had some down time so we started playing to get the cards. Well here it is a few hours later and we've beat the game. Even after we had all the cards we just coulddn't stop playing. I love the physics of this game, the sound effects are funny, and whenever you get a headshot one the last person is so satisfying. 9/10 will play again!

Tennis in the Face is a fun physics based game where you serve a tennis ball and attempt to hit people / targets to clear the stage. The game is setup similar to Angry Birds where the stages you beat can be re-played until they are perfected. The cartoon graphics are extremely well done and it is great to see a video game puzzler that uses tennis as the theme. The story was very comical and made me laugh many times as you control a disgruntled pro tennis player on a rampage to destroy a mega energy drink company. I had previously owned this game on PS3 and Vita but was happy to pick up a 3rd copy to play on the PC. It is very fun and rewarding being able to serve tennis balls into another person's face. This game is the perfect stress reliever for any tennis enthusiast.

I had lots of fun with this game, so I bought another 2 more copies for friends! 100% Achievements isn't too hard to get, but if you're having trouble, check the Guide section for more info on how to complete it.

[h1]Great graphics and neat idea, but a couple of problems left me more annoyed than entertained.[/h1] I picked up this game because I loved the graphics and art style, and I thought the game itself was a funny idea. When playing it however... The first thing that struck me was the annoying fake physics applied to the ball. OK, whatever, the game was still playable and I could overlook it, so I played on and was reasonably entertained til the 7th of 8 worlds or so. As you progress in the world and the difficulty increases, I noticed the game shifting and relying less and less on "strategy" and more and more on random chance and I was left with merely "try throwing the ball this direction and see what happens". Which is partly brought on by the inconsistent physics applied in the game (falling objects, objects pushing other objects). This "Random Factor" in the physics, as I call it, can be demonstrated by trying the same thing a couple times in a row, and seeing different results. This becomes a bigger problem later on as you start relying on how objects simply fall, or how preset objects explode, etc. [h1]The PROs:[/h1] + Very cool graphics + Great artstyle + I liked the over-the-top "story" + Last ball trajectory shown so you can tweak it a bit + A variety of baddies that behave differently + A good number of levels [h1]The EH:[/h1] ~ Music got very repetitive, very fast. ~ Wonky physics with the tennis ball itself. [h1]The CONs:[/h1] [b]- Random Factor.[/b] The same actions will produce similar but different results when "physics" gets applied. Which gets annoying as in later levels you need things to fall on other objects or blow up which throws objects in a certain distance, or other people to fall into others, etc, etc. [b]- Inconsistent physics for objects in the game.[/b] [b]- Less and less strategy on later levels[/b], and simply more just throwing the ball all over til you see the effects and discover how a medal is done for that level. [h1]Overall: It's a great looking game and I played it for a few hours, but ended up quitting due to needing to rely on inconsistent physics. 6 out of 10.[/h1] [i]Actual play time was approx 2.7 hrs. The rest of the time was idling for cards and also being interrupted during play and was away from PC with game still running. For someone to complete the game I'd anticipate approx 3.5 hrs or so.[/i]

I won't compare this to all the 10 tons games I have played, a great collection but I will compare it to the first one I played which is very similar in goals and playstyle - King Oddball. This has little of the charm of that game but its a nice little distraction if you get it on sale. I paid £0.95 for it so I cannot complain, I have had my money's worth. Just don't expect a long and challenging grind.

I played this a long time ago, but I still have fond memories of it. That is pretty rare for me, because usually I only remember the bad parts of games and struggle to remember the fun, so good job. I recommend this game.

WAY too reliant on absolute degree perfect accuracy. It is extremely unforgiving and reliant on trial and error and therefore ruins the whole fun of it. More like masochism than fun even.

Edgerunners Play Tennis [/b] Scene: A neon-bathed lounge in Night City, buzzing with high-tech gear and alive with eclectic lights. The Cyberpunk Edgerunners crew is gathered around an ancient gaming console for a wildly chaotic game night, elbowing each other for a turn at "Tennis in the Face". David: Strap in, crew! It's time to see if lobbing tennis balls beats the thrill of a midnight run through Night City! Lucy: Seriously? Tennis? What's next, badminton with corpo execs? Maine: As long as we're hitting something, I'm in. Even if it's with a fuzzy ball. Rebecca: Let’s wreck some clown face, chooms! [Falco fiddles with the game settings, his fingers a blur of motion.] Falco: I'm juicing up the difficulty—let's not make this a walk in the park. Dorio: As if anything with us ever is! [Pilar squeezes in next to Maine, who mockingly shields the controller.] Pilar: Move over, Maine! Let the real gamer show you how it’s done. Gloria: (skeptically watching the screen) If the clowns start throwing grenades, I’m out. [The game sparks to life, and David takes the first shot, missing spectacularly.] David: Might need to recalibrate my shooting... or maybe just blame the controller. Rebecca: Aim for the creepy clown! It reminds me of my last date—just as unsettling. Kiwi: These physics are more unpredictable than the stock market during a blackout. Lucy: Let me try; I’ve got better aim when I’m blindfolded. [Lucy fires off a shot, nailing a spectacular combo.] Lucy: See? Chaos is my middle name. Falco: That’s what I like to see! Maine: (howling with laughter) This is better than throwing grenades at gangers! Rebecca: Smash 'em! Smash 'em good! [Pilar tries next, her brows furrowed in concentration.] Pilar: Here we go... and it’s a miss. This game’s trickier than sneaking into a Militech vault! Dorio: (chuckling as he takes his turn) Watch the master work—oops, never mind, I suck at this. Gloria: We’re not exactly painting a masterpiece here, are we? More like abstract art. [Everyone laughs, the room filled with the sounds of teasing and playful shouting.] David: This game’s about as reliable as a street doc with the shakes. Lucy: Next time, let’s stick to real targets, not virtual clowns. Rebecca: But hey, there’s something satisfying about watching clowns get knocked down. Falco: (smirking) Even if it’s just with tennis balls. Kiwi: I say next game night we go for something with more boom. Maine: Yeah, if I wanted to watch clowns fall over, I'd just trip one at the next fixer meet. [The game continues with more outrageous attempts and laughter, the energy in the room buzzing with each explosive reaction on screen.] David: Okay, team, let’s dial it back to the real chaos. The streets are calling. Lucy: Agreed. Real action beats virtual tennis any day. [They start packing up, the night still young and full of potential dangers and delights.] Gloria: Best game night ever, even if we're the worst tennis players. Pilar: Next time, less tennis, more explosions. Maybe something with actual grenades. Falco: And fewer clowns, more gangers. [Fade out as they gear up, their laughter mingling with the electric hum of Night City, ready to face whatever the night throws at them—hopefully no tennis balls.] [/i] [i] [b] Let You Down Dawid Podsiadło (Cyberpunk:Edgerunners ED) [/b] Feel the frustration of the game, Neon ads and soda's claim, Tennis balls they cause no pain, But there’s so little to attain.

A fun little physics based game from 10tons but I would definitely wait for a sale before buying as there is not a lot of content or replayability.

Quality physics puzzler with a playful sense of humor. Think Angry Birds, but it's more about eliminating people on direct contact with your tennis balls (or exploding soda cans) rather than by falling debris, although that is an option as well. Seems like there are a lot of levels here, and you can extend your playtime even further by going for a crown on each level. The slow motion ragdoll effects after clearing a level are a nice payoff. This will be the closest you'll get to hitting a tennis ball at a latte and iPhone clutching hipster outside of your daydreams on the subway.

a fun Tennis themed Angry Birds' style game, i'll explain in case you don't know what is Angry Birds. you have to knock the people in each stage using tennis balls, you aim where you want to serve and try to hit all the targets with one shot or as less shots as possible to get high scores. there are many obstacles like glass who would ruin your shot or a pack of tennis balls that will send many balls flying in the stage to knock your targets, but of course just like angry birds, some stages will require that random luck to finish using only one shot. the game is cheap and its fun for sure, if you like angry birds type of games then there is a big chance you will enjoy this game too.
