Tennis Masters Game

Tennis Masters is a cartoon-style tennis game from Madpuffers, the studio also behind the Moto X3M series. Matches are quick and arcade-y: pick a character, get on court, and trade shots until someone runs out of returns, either against the computer or against a friend sharing your keyboard in local two-player mode.

Underneath the cartoon look it plays like real tennis — position yourself under the ball, time your hit, and go for a smash when there's an opening. Unlockable characters, power-ups and a few silly transformations sit on top of that core rally loop to keep repeat matches from feeling identical.

Controls

• Move — A / D or Left / Right arrow keys
• Jump — W or Up arrow
• Hit — V, L, or X
• Smash — B, Z, or K

Tips

• Use jump for balls that bounce high rather than trying to reach them with a normal hit.
• Save the smash for a shot you're confident about — a mistimed smash is easier to whiff than a regular hit.
• If you're playing two-player on one keyboard, split the alternate hit/smash keys (V/L/X and B/Z/K) between you before the match starts.

Good pick for a short, casual sports session, especially if there's a second person around to play against instead of the CPU.
