Pixel Tennis Playtest online now - on Steam!
Heya,
it is finally time to bring back Pixel Tennis with its biggest update yet!
These are the highlights:
3D Character Models
Say farewell to the derpy pill-shaped avatars and welcome Kuro and Lea as the new playable characters. The VRoid Studio based models are animated and offer the ability to switch between various outfits and hairstyles.
New Court: Isle
Pixel Tennis now has 50% more courts than ever (3 instead of 2)! Feel the virtual sand beneath your feet and the tropical breeze as you play against friends or opponents from around the world.
Steam
The game is silently sneaking to the official Steam Store.
In addition to that, you can now use your Steam account to play instead of the previously mandatory Pixel Tennis account. If you already registered here, you can link both after logging in with the latter.
I guess, Pixel Tennis can be classified as an actual game now, huh?
There standalone/installer version and the .apk for Android devices remain available, if you prefer them.
