New Star Games' latest release, Retro Slam Tennis, brings a retro-style pixel-art tennis experience to mobile devices. This follows the studio's successful track record with titles like New Star Soccer, Retro Goal, and Retro Bowl.
Game Play and Career Progression:
Retro Slam Tennis offers more than just hitting tennis balls. Players start from the bottom and work their way up the ranks, competing on various court surfaces (hard, clay, and grass). The game incorporates career management elements, requiring players to balance training, personal relationships (friends and family), and sponsorship deals. Strategic spending on upgrades and the occasional energy boost (NRG) are key to success.
A unique aspect is the integration of social media. Maintaining a positive online presence and keeping followers engaged is crucial for career advancement, adding a compelling RPG layer to the gameplay.

Global Android Launch:
Published by Five Aces Publishing and developed by New Star Games, Retro Slam Tennis initially launched on iOS in July 2024. The Android version is now available globally as a free-to-play title, retaining the charming aesthetic of its predecessors, Retro Bowl and Retro Goal. Founder Simon Read describes the game as blending arcade-style gameplay with a lighthearted simulation of a tennis pro's journey, mirroring the formula of New Star Soccer.
Available now on the Google Play Store. Stay tuned for upcoming news on Balatro, a new collaboration pack, and Friends of Jimbo 4.
