This is a head-to-head, 2 player only tennis game I made years ago. Until now it's been hidden in my website's 404 page, but I figure it'd be better out here, easily found. It took about 4 hours to make it originally, and then another couple hours to add the 3-round logic, win screen, sound & music, random backgrounds, title screen with controls, some minor effects and different colors for each player.

One player is blue, the other is red. The game is played as "Best of 3", so if a player wins the first two rounds, the game is over. Otherwise, the game continues to the third round.

Multiple hits to the ball are allowed, the only rule when in play is to not let the ball fall on your side :P Also, you must win a round by two clear points. It's possible for a game to go on for awhile if players are fighting for that last point. Players switch side after a round.

To serve, you need to press the swing button twice. The first press releases the ball from being anchored to your racket, the second one is a normal swing.

The level background is random every game. There is grass, desert, ice, forest, and beach.

Music by Etalify, made for the Brave Dwarf soundtrack (still in development)
