Bearly Tennis

Bearly Tennis is an arcade tennis game where you play as bears who have reclaimed an abandoned town from humans, discovering tennis in the process. In order to play Tennis, you search the world for objects you can crush into makeshift tennis balls. These makeshift balls have different properties causing them to perform differently from each other in a match.

How to Play:

1. Each player collects 3 balls from the world
2. After collecting 3 balls, the match begins with a random player serving first
3. After serving, the typical rules of a tennis point apply
   1. Hit the ball back and forth to win the point
   2. A player loses the point if the ball bounces twice on their side
   3. A player loses the point if their ball bounces out-of-bounds or into the net
   4. If a ball bounces off the top of the net and then into the correct box, it is counted as in-bounds
4. Charging
   1. Holding the swing button for longer charges a shot, hitting the ball harder once it’s in range
   2. Serves hit at the top of the toss hit the ball harder
5. When a player loses a point, they must serve next, losing their served ball. The game score is equal to the number of balls remaining in each player’s inventory.
6. A player loses a game when they are forced to serve with no balls remaining
7. Repeat from step 1 as you like
