King of Tennis (iPhone)
Jul 5th
Rattling through these posts, pausing briefly to mention this funny little freebie. It’s not a tennis game, but a tennis watching game. As the ball goes from left to right you press the screen to follow it. If you look the wrong way, then it’s game over.
It should be easy, but when the ball hits the net it’s incredibly difficult to stop yourself from looking in the direction it would have gone. It really feels like a psychological experiment as much as it does a game. Why do I keep pressing the screen when I shouldn’t? Why? Who’s in control of my thumb?
The only real blemish is that the game seems to play sound effects even if you’ve got the volume down. Naughty, naughty.
