It's not bad graphics, but aiming to achieve points is bad. If mechanics are better and maybe got multiplayer with some upgrades on serve, strength and precision, then maybe will be very good, for now it's only good for playing like 2 or 3 games. Anyway i will give thumbs up for idea and maybe got some updates in future.1 found this helpful
The way how the paddle hits the ball is just the same, for mouse and keyboard user, this is not good, you can't even control how to hit the ball to another direction
Never play this. This is AI slop.
