I was confused at first thinking the directional arrow was a racket. Game concept was pretty cool, and I really liked how you built the levels on top of each other. Great work.

It is, by all accounts; ridiculous. I loved the racket at the end of the game. Took me a minute to understand that that was not a racket I had, it was the direction my ball was gonna go.

Nice take on the theme! At first I thought it was going to be more like Pong, but then I was pleasantly surprised. The aiming mech ended up being pretty engaging, and it kept me curious to see what would happen next.

Thank you!

Really enjoyed the first time I powered up. I was wondering how the ball would get faster or something more akin to a normal tennis power up. When the world expanded and there were tanks, my expectations were completely subverted!

Pretty funny concept, and still challenging even on easy. Had fun, shame it's so short, I was wondering where you'd go after the earth "died"

At first i thought "Oh a tennis game", then as it progressed it got more interesting and challenging. I really liked the balance between difficulty and skills. And the background music gave that devilish feel to the game. Overall Good Work!
