It's weekly update time and I've just released version 0.0.5 of Pingers to Steam!
I've made some big progress this week with the sound for the game. Pingers now has 2 new tracks, one for the ingame menus and the other for the game itself. Check out the latest version to hear the new music! As well as this, I have also added a plethora of much needed sound effects to the game, finally!
On the visual side I have two topics to call out, a new menu background and the options menu which you can see below.
