great game, but there seems to be a bug where if the ball bounces on the opponent's side, goes out, and they hit it entirely out of bounds on your side, the game gives the ai the point.
This is a pretty accurate representation of how I play tennis in real life.
I love the silly clumsy style of the characters and the sound design fits perfectly.
While it is a super fun game I can definitely see myself coming back to when I have a few minutes of spare time, unfortunately I don't think it really fits the theme of the jam as it doesn't really affect game play, the speeding up at times was barely noticeable and feels like it could be removed and nothing would change.
I'm in love with the art, the animations, the sounds, the movement of the camera and with the gameplay, Its simply fantastic. In my opinion the only thing that would make this game better would be multiplayer online.
The fact that a game like this has been made in just 3 days amazes me.
it's not the cleanest code, but i know it can sometimes be helpful to poke around a project. the character movement is a combination of 'stacked sprites' and 'procedural walking', if you want to research those concepts first
My mind is blown🤯. I thought the characters were made using a 3d model. I didn't know you could achieve that look by just using some sprites. I definitely learn some new things. Thank you for sharing the source code, it was super helpful.

I suck at this game but that doesn’t make it less fun. Great physics, love the rotating field too.
very fun!

The game was fun. Had a very arcadey feeling to it and I really like the popping sounds of the feet.
Funky but fun, I enjoyed playing it.
This was neat!
