Tennis Hero Game

Tennis Hero is a tap-timing sports game from b10b, the same studio behind the "Hero" arcade sports titles. You pick a character and work through a tournament bracket, playing best-of matches against three different opponents on the way to a gold medal.

Rallies come down to timing rather than aiming. Serves use a hold-and-release power bar, so releasing too early or too late either weakens the shot or sends it long, and returns during a rally work the same way — tap at the right moment to place a clean shot instead of smacking it into the net.

Controls

Tap or click to time your serves and returns. Hold down to build up serve power, then release at the right moment.

Tips

• Don't hold the serve power bar all the way to max by default — an over-powered serve is easier to send out than a controlled one.
• Watch the timing indicator rather than your opponent; the game is decided by rhythm, not reaction speed.
• Early tournament opponents are the easiest read on timing, so use them to get a feel for the rally rhythm before the later rounds ramp up.
