changedThis update is a special one, alongside our usual improvements.

removedRemoved 'Pull' Controls & Added Auto-RecallYes, that’s correct. Across all of our feedback channels, the most frequent request we received was: “I wish the pullback action could be automated.” However, we’ve considered the pullback mechanic to be one of the core elements that makes PengPong fun to play, so we were cautious about removing it. Instead, we focused on the underlying player sentiment—“there are too many inputs and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do”—and implemented a range of quality-of-life improvements to address that.

removedRemoved 'Pull' Controls & Added Auto-RecallAfter that, the PengPong team tested a version internally with the pullback action removed—and we found it was a better experience than we expected. We also saw meaningful improvements through our focus group tests in a private channel. Even now, we’re not completely sure whether it’s the right time to make this change public. But in the end, the game is played by you—our players—so we believe the most important thing is to release it as a limited-time trial and see whether it actually improves immersion and enjoyment.

changedRemoved 'Pull' Controls & Added Auto-RecallThe [Pull] action (previously controlled with the right mouse button) has been removed. Weapons will now automatically return to your character. We’ve also removed items that affected Pull and movement speed while pull.

addedAdded in this patch:Added new options to support windowed mode and multiple resolutions.

changedAdded in this patch:Updated the main menu so that the logo and localization are applied correctly for each language.

That means the pullback control can always return at any time. Please feel free to share your thoughts and feedback!
