Tennis in the Face

Gets its angles right

by Jon Mundy 29/1/2013

If a game's title had any major bearing on its final score, we'd probably be looking at a rare PG Platinum Award for Tennis in the Face.

Alas, it doesn't, so we're not. But don't let that disappoint you too much, because Tennis in the Face is a pleasantly accomplished - if slightly generic - casual physics-puzzler.

Advantage Pagassi

Perhaps surprisingly, Tennis in the Face has very little to do with tennis.

While the protagonist is one Pete Pagassi, a disgraced tennis champ with a mean serve, the game plays more like Angry Birds than Virtua Tennis Challenge. ...

A delightfully silly physics-puzzler that's slightly derivative but highly entertaining
