Are you looking for something different to play? Here’s a look at some of the additional games released this week.

When they fill the progress bar completely, they win the game and can move on to the next opponent. One Tap Tennis splits games into cups, and if players lose one game in a cup, they must begin the cup from the beginning. Users can also watch a video ad to save their current place in a cup as a checkpoint. Players will unlock new playable characters as they win cups.
