About Otto's Tennis Game
Otto's Tennis Game is a one-button tennis game with gravity, made for two players at the same keyboard. Your player is a chunky pixel character with a racket, and the only thing you control is the jump. Tap to hop, and keep tapping to fly.
You score by getting the ball past your opponent and behind them. Hitting it with the middle of your racket fires a boost shot, so where the ball meets the racket matters as much as when.
The title screen has a one-player option as well as a two-player one, and the menu lets you switch between modes or set them to random. A match takes a few minutes, so it's easy to play Otto's Tennis Game online for a quick round.

Can I play Otto's Tennis Game on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works well, since the game runs in the browser and each player needs only one key. For two players, a laptop or desktop is the easiest setup, because you both need room at the keyboard. A phone screen is hard to share between two people.
Is Otto's Tennis Game unblocked at school?
Getting Otto's Tennis Game unblocked at school comes down to the network. The game runs in a normal browser tab with nothing to download or install, but schools filter sites in their own way, and that filter decides whether it opens. We do not control it.
What modes does Otto's Tennis Game have?
The title screen starts on a tennis mode, and the menu lets you choose other modes or put it on random so each match picks one for you. Random is a good choice once both players have the jump and the boost shot down.
What is a boost shot in Otto's Tennis Game?
It's a stronger hit you get by catching the ball with the center of your racket. It takes timing, since you also have to keep your player at the right height by tapping the button, so landing boost shots on purpose is what separates good players from button mashers.
