Retro Tiny Tennis drops you into a sports challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think retro & arcade — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Retro Tiny Tennis
In this great arcade sports game may be simple to play but it’s a challenge to get high scores. Like in a greatl tennis game, stopping the tennis balls requires speed and precision - make one mistake and you’re out! The longer you stay on ground, the faster the tennis balls will come at you and it is your job to return them while also avoiding flying bottles. You're warned! the Platinum medal is VERY hard to complete! only if you're a true grand slam may catch it!
How to play Retro Tiny Tennis
Nothing here needs explaining twice. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

Why it is worth playing
The reason Retro Tiny Tennis holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — retro & arcade — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
