Game overview
Torso Tennis is an action roguelike that combines sports mechanics with grid-based combat and autobattler-inspired systems. Players control a torso and must build a complete athlete by acquiring, upgrading, and reclaiming limbs from defeated opponents. The goal is to survive a series of increasingly difficult matches and achieve the status of a tennis god.

- Acquiring and upgrading various limbs to modify abilities and court presence.
- Equipping passive tattoos that provide unique boosts and alter specific playstyles.
- Managing synergy systems to create high-power builds, such as spawning critters to overwhelm opponents.
- Utilizing debuff strategies by removing limbs from rivals or using defensive shells to protect the court.
- Participating in an autobattler-style shop system between matches to refine the current run.
