We’ve got some unexpected issues and had to delay it a bit, but the 0.1 update is here. In this first “big” update we wanted to add some game changers, this brings the pilots. We also focused a lot on the “comfort” while playing the game, In Game Menu, and Fullscreen mode and some readability on the UI. The special unplanned feature is the arena size, this should let you and us experiment to plan the future of Pongarena. Please keep reading the patch-note for full details. The next big update is already ongoing and will bring more visual and options than gameplay but should make the game way more enjoyable. Still wondering what we are working on? Don’t miss our open public board on [url=https://trello.com/b/LqWYfZtE/pongarena-early-access]Trello[/url]. Thanks for playing the game!

[h2]In game menu[/h2] Want to pause the game in local mode to scratch your neck while fighting lvl 6 AI? What about increasing the volume to listen to LukHash’s music? Or maybe you have to go and want to surrender the game… KEEP CALM, the in game menu is finally here to answer all your needs! [h2]Arena sizes[/h2] We are planning to add new arenas to the game in the future. We have some ideas like adding obstacles, force fields or random events to the arena.
