Ball boys. The unsung heroes of tennis.



Constantly thrashed by speeding rubber, derided by players, often laughed at by crowds.



What happens when one ball boy has had enough? For what evil means does he use his throwing skills?



DeTENNIStration: A Ball Boy's Revenge

This is a game in which you throw tennis players through windows.

I'm working on it with Bernard Larkin - we're late to start, but we'll hopefully get it done by the end of the month.

Screenshots and details to follow!

UPDATE: Finished!

Get the game here.

Pretty pictures:

Love it.

Finished!

The time for the revenge has come.

Grab the tennis players and heave them out the nearest window. Alternatively, heave them into each other. Tennis players tend to shriek, but watch out for their killer serve!



You can grab the game here.

This is really good!
The best way to score is to stay close to the doors, with this technique, I'm getting pretty good. I especially love the audio!

[Greg Power]

Awesome, glad you liked it! 

It was fun to make. It was the first time we'd used Box2D, so we had a ball playing with ridiculous physics.

The music's by Imperial Tiger Orchestra, and I found all the sound effects at Sound Jay.

One of the more funny entries I played  I loved the varied animation of the tennis players. When they hit each other with the ball. hah. Good music too. I did find that one shrill scream sound a bit much compared to the otherwise mellow feel.

[Greg Power]

Yeah, I need to track down an audio editor to normalize sound effects. I guess I should check out Audacity...

Bernard did all the animations. I love the little wiggle the tennis players do before they hit a ball.

Great fun. I liked bashing the tennis players into each other so they'd clump up at a window, and then racking up a big bonus by flinging them all out quickly. Could have done with a bit more variaty to the gameplay, but it's only a small gripe. Good stuff.
