Tennis in the Face Reviews

Very fun game. Played this and other games from 10Tons on my phone years back, including King Oddball wich is also on Steam. The games are worth your time for sure. Really fun and good ports to.

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.

[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 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.

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.

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.
