Malaysians are now one step closer to Wimbledon! You can now apparently play with friends in Bitmoji Tennis, a brand new, made-for-Snapchat game, now available exclusively on Snap Games, Snapchat’s real-time multiplayer gaming platform found right within Chat. I guess this is a thing now.
Here’s how to try it out. First off, choose whether you want to train solo, challenge a friend to a match or hit the courts with a group of friends for rounds of winner-takes-next.
- Open a Chat or Group Chat and tap the rocket icon in the Chat Bar to launch Snap Games. Tap ‘Bitmoji Tennis’ in the game drawer and you’ll be on the court in no time!
- To kick off the match, tap to serve the ball and run left and right — your racket will swing automatically when you’re near the ball.
- Tilt your device to aim your shot — The first player to five points wins.
- Tap ‘Stats’ in the main menu to view your win count, best streak, longest rally and more. You can also upgrade your tennis racket by watching a short ad between games.
All Snap Games are designed for synchronous, high-fidelity mobile gameplay between friends, built on the powerful PlayCanvas game engine. Launched this past April, Snap Games features a curated selection of both first and third-party titles, such as Bitmoji Party and Zynga’s Tiny Royale. Bitmoji Tennis is Snap’s second original title following Bitmoji party and was created in-house by Snap Games Studio.
Looks like Snapchat are really trying to get their users back. After being pulverised by Insta Stories, Snapchat has to find some sort of way to come back from the dead. I’m not going to lie, it’s cute, and I’ve tried it out. It actually works surprisingly well, and I can see this being popular with kids and teens who use Snapchat. Maybe this is their saving Grace after all.
