The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and satisfying experience, making it enjoyable for players. However, many users express frustration with the repetitive nature of playing against bots, the lack of real-time multiplayer options, and issues related to balancing and microtransactions. Overall, while the gameplay is considered strong, it suffers from limitations that can lead to a diminished long-term experience.
“The gameplay is so satisfying and the controls are seamless... way addictive!!!”
“Fantastic gameplay and great control system topped off with nice graphics.”
“The gameplay and mechanics are great for an arcade tennis game.”
“Mini tennis is a fun game that I've played for a month now, but the gameplay has become significantly harder without any explanation.”
“Fun at first then gets boring after a short while. I'm 3 days in and about to delete it; you only ever play against bots and it's the same gameplay over and over again. It's worth a try for a day or two, but then it turns into another game where you have to pay to advance. If it was real multiplayer, it would be much more fun.”
“Overall gameplay feels very slow, sluggish, and not interesting.”

The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their quality and detail, with many users highlighting the smooth animations and realistic visuals. While some players noted minor issues with gameplay mechanics, the overall consensus is that the graphics significantly enhance the gaming experience, making it visually appealing and enjoyable. Additionally, the user interface is often described as nice and intuitive, contributing to the game's overall positive reception.
“Good graphics and gameplay but it's not a real-time multiplayer; it's AI playing against you. At the start of the game, you will win every match, but after that, it will become very difficult as it doesn't matter where you hit the ball; the opponent will hit it back from anywhere.”
“I applaud the devs on this game; great graphics and great game!”
“Amazing graphics just all around fun.”
“Was really enjoying the game progression, but am suddenly unable to play due to a graphics glitch whenever it's time to get on the court for a game or lucky shot.”
“Good gameplay and decent old-school kind of graphics.”
“I like the game except a couple of issues: first off, the matching algorithm is messed up right off the rip; I was put up against people with double every category. Second, it's kind of costly to level everything up, like a pay-to-play model. Other than that, I really do like the mechanics and graphics, so only 2 stars should be one just for the frustration of trying to start a new game stuck behind the eight ball, so to speak.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the excessive and often ineffective ads that hinder gameplay and progression. While some users appreciate the minimal presence of ads and the option to earn rewards through watching them, others feel that the system is predatory, with ads frequently failing to provide promised benefits. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the game could be enjoyable, the monetization approach detracts significantly from the experience.
“As always, microtransactions are in the game, but they aren't needed to win.”
“No advertisements.”
“Initial experience tells me it's a great game; no ads and super addictive.”
“Overall, with the idiotic ads, it's just greedy developers' sorry excuse to make money.”
“The monetization of the game is done in such a predatory way I feel dirty playing it, so it has to be 1/5 now.”
“Good game, but if you are a free player, you have to watch so many ads (approximately 35 seconds each) and you will get useless gear, unfair opponents, and very slow growth.”

The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes and glitches that disrupt gameplay, often resulting in lost progress and coins. Many players express frustration over the game's performance, particularly after updates, indicating that it was initially stable but has since deteriorated. Overall, the game is described as having great potential, but its current state is marred by persistent bugs and instability.
“Awesome, no glitches and 5 stars.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes or bugs.”
“I appreciate the consistent performance; it never lags or freezes.”
“The game is good, but something is wrong with it, because it freezes every time after a couple of minutes of play. Never happened in any other game to me. I'm using a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, cannot blame my phone. Please check what kind of bug this is; it just freezes. I can hear the sound, but the game becomes completely unresponsive, and I have to close it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.”
“I really enjoyed this game, but after the update, the game constantly freezes. I'm very disappointed as a result due to losing coins during tournaments and 1v1.”
“While playing the game, it turns off automatically. Even with a good network connection, it shuts itself down. When entering the game, it also automatically closes itself, and I lost coins without playing. It's very slow processing; I've lost many games without playing and lost many coins. The game takes more time to open and hangs itself. Please consider my request and fix the game without glitches.”

The game's music has received significant criticism for its intrusive nature, as players are unable to mute or adjust settings for the first 20 minutes of gameplay. Users express frustration over the game forcibly taking audio focus, preventing them from listening to their own music or podcasts, which detracts from the overall experience. Many reviewers wish for improvements in the background music and sound design to enhance gameplay without interference.
“I wish they would work a bit on the background theme, game music, and sounds.”
“Seems like a good game, but you have to play 2 full matches before you can turn off the music, and it stops you from playing any audio from another app when you open the game.”
“I want to listen to music and audiobooks while playing.”
“Not a bad game, was trying to listen to music while playing but gave up because it takes too long to get to settings to mute the game music and sound effects due to the tutorial and being forced to play games before you are free to click on anything else.”
“The first 20 minutes of the game experience, you are not even allowed to change settings. The game keeps forcibly switching audio focus to itself, ending other sound sources (music player, which has a setting to ignore audio focus change, YouTube, YouTube Music), even when sound and music are turned to zero in the game settings. It's a very inconvenient experience!”
“Seems like a good game, but you have to play two full matches before you can turn off the music, and it stops you from playing any audio from another app when you open the game, which is a deal breaker for me.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting significant bugs, frequent lag, and stuttering that disrupts gameplay. Many users express frustration over performance issues, particularly on specific devices, and call for developers to improve the game's stability to enhance the overall experience. Overall, the game's current state is deemed unsatisfactory, impacting enjoyment and competitiveness.
“All good, but I cannot change icon position, which is required for better performance.”
“I am having performance issues on my Moto G10, lagging while hitting shots.”
“The game is pretty good, but too many bugs need to be cleared. The game lags too much, and due to that, there's no smooth performance. Other games from Miniclip are much better. The concept of the game is good, but seriously, developers need to improve the game's performance, or else we won't be able to play due to lag and it making the phone misbehave.”
“Game keeps stuttering, and you have to forfeit games and lose points and coins because of the game freezing up. Really disappointing. I used to love spending time and paying for the VIP pass, but it's not worth it until they sort the game out.”
“This game needs more optimization and more real players.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and relevance, as missions have shifted from skill-based challenges to tasks focused on social media engagement and monetization. Players express frustration over the imbalance in mission difficulty and the need for improvements in the payment system, indicating that the narrative experience could benefit from a more engaging and rewarding structure. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the story and mission design require significant enhancements to enhance player satisfaction.
“Ads don't load... often playing against players with significantly higher rankings, making it slow to achieve goals and complete missions.”
“The first minor issue is that missions should be based on the current account level.”
“Good game, really good, but one problem you need to fix is an accept button for gem payments. I accidentally paid 100 gems for a tournament I didn't want to enter, and this happens in the missions too.”
