Basic Mode
In Basic Mode points are distributed similar to standard tennis rules. You win the match if you have won a certain ammount of sets, depending on the rules you chose. The counting mode is 0, 15, 30, 40. To win a set, a player with 40 points needs to score another point. The 40:40 scrore is en exception, called Deuce. A set needs to be won with 2 points advance. The player scoring the next point after Deuce has Advantage. If you win after Advantage, the set is over, if you lose it's Deuce again.

Battle Mode
Battle Mode is a match mode where items will appear which can be used for defense or offense and may influence the match's tournout.

Every player has an HP gauge which decreases every time you miss the ball or the character is hit by an offensive item. When the gauge reaches 0 the player loses the match.

Battlemon Mode
In Battlemon Mode, Double games can only be played with a real opponent. Your Battlemon will then be your Double partner.

Battlemon are available at the Shop. Every Battlemon has its own very special advantage and disadvantage.

After purchasing a Battlemon, its lifespan is 30 days. This span is indicated by the life bar and can be increased by items like Leaf of Life Juice. After the time is over, your Battlemon can only be revived trough Root of Life Wood. Besides the Life Bar there are also Energy and Hunger Bar. As these decrease trough playing, the power of your battlemon decreases too. They can be increased again by feeding your Battlemon special items or letting your it rest. The EXP bar is growing by playing and increases your Battlemon's level. Hitpoints (HP), as well as the status points Strength (STR), Stamina (STA), Dexterity (DEX) and Wisdom (WIS) can also be increased with items.

Before you are able to play with your Battlemon you need to pick it up on the Battlemon Farm in My Home. You can watch your little Battlemon ruinning free there.

Chat Mode
Along with the match rooms, there are also chat rooms in the lobby. You can either enter an existing chatroom or create a new one. When creating, you can chose a name and determine whether your room is public or protected by password. You can also specify the number of players, 8 or 16 and chose whether you want your room to be a House Room (more on House Chats). A Chatroom always takes place on one of the known tennis courts which can be chosen as well.

House Mode
House Chat is just like a normal chatroom, but it offers additional activities.

The house's interior can be decorated in My Home (via Main Room) with various furniture, carpets and wallpapers which are available at the shop. Some furniture provides bonus gold and EXP for Battle and Basic Mode. The EXP and gold you win can be increased up to 30%. Furthermore every piece of furniture increases your Housing Points which increase the Housing Level. After Housing Points have reached a certain ammount, you can purchase a bigger house at the shop.

Fishing...
In the garden's pond there are a lot of fish. You can catch them using a Wooden Fishing Rod which can be bought from the shop. You need to put the Fishing Rod into an empty slot in Magic Pocket, then stand near the fish and use your Fishing Rod by pressing "D". As soon as a fish bites, a gauge appears which is moving from left to right rapidly. Before it disappears again you need to press "D". Now a new gauge appears, having a mark where you need to press "D" again. If you sucess hitting the marks, the fish is yours.

Fish are used to create Quick Slot items for Battle Mode. For these, buying a recipe from the shop is required. With the right amount of fish, the recipes can be turned to the according item in Magic Pocket.

Collecting Fruits...
Hey, how about the palmtrees in the garden? After having aquired a Wood Basket from the Shop and equiped it on an empty slot like the Fishing Rod, you can stand in front of a palmtree and press the "D" key. A gauge with many little people which are running from the right to the left appears. Repeatedly press "D" at the right time and the fruit are yours! This function works only in houses with level 2 or higher!

Fruit can be processed to Battlemon Items which feed or refresh your Battlemon or increase its stats. The processing is just the same as the fish's.
