Cyberpunk Tennis

DriveSwipe up as the ring around the ball closes. The ball goes where the swipe points.

ServeTap to toss, then swipe up as the ball tops out in the ring. The yellow X shows where it will land.

AimSwipe up and left to go left, up and right to go right. A longer swipe lands deeper.

SliceSwipe down for backspin. A slice aims the other way: top-left to bottom-right goes left.

Drop shotA short swipe drops the ball just over the net.

LobA slow, long swipe up (a quarter of the screen or more) lofts it over a player at the net. Start as the ball arrives.

PowerA fast flick hits hard and flat. Flick too hard and it flies long. A slow swipe adds spin and safety.

CurveBend the swipe to bend the ball: sidespin curls it away from where you aimed.

Volley and smashAt the net, swipe before the ball bounces. Under a high ball, any hard swipe is a smash.

TimingSwipe as the ring closes on the ball. Late forehands drift right, late backhands drift left.

Tap to runTap the court and your player runs to that spot.

AutomoveWith automove on, your player chases the ball for you. A tap overrides it until the next shot. Switch it off in Settings or the pause menu to do all the running yourself.

CameraThe 1P button swaps between the chase view and your player's own eyes. In zen mode it's in the pause menu.

The bar under your nameRunning, every swing and repeated power shots tire you. You only get part of it back between points.

When you're tiredThe bar turns red: you run slower and have less time to swing.

The striped partStamina in the striped part of the bar is gone for the set.

LevelChill is slower and the CPU covers less court. Club is full pace against a steady CPU. Pro rarely misses.

ZenClears the screen: no scoreboard, hints, timing ring or landing X, just the pause button. The score goes up on the billboard, with calm music and real court sounds.

Full screenThe game fills the screen when a match starts. If Safari on iPad stops the match with a "typing while in full screen" warning, switch it off. On iPhone and iPad, Add to Home Screen plays full screen anyway.

VR with a Cardboard headset

In Settings, pick VR under Camera, start a match and put the phone in the headset. The white line down the middle lines up with the headset's divider.
Look down the court and press the button to start.
Watch the ball and press as it arrives: where the shot goes is picked for you, and automove does the running. A small ring on the ball closes as it comes.
For a power shot, press early, hold, and let go as the ball arrives. The ring in the middle of your view fills when the hold is long enough.
If you look away, an arrow points to the ball, and two ticks then a high beep count you down.
On your serve, press to toss, then press again at the top.
Look down at your feet and press to pause. Turn to Exit VR on the left, Resume ahead or Quit on the right, and press. The end of a match works the same way.
Look straight up and press to recentre, then look down the court and press again.
For full swipe control, tap Link a phone under Swipe pad in Settings. On a second phone open Settings, pick VR, tap Be the pad and enter the code. Swipe on it as on the game screen; tap it with two fingers to recentre.
Not in a headset? Hold the phone upright and tap Exit VR. On a laptop the mouse is your head and the space bar is the button.
