Lofi Ping Pong on mobiles is out!!!
Finally the game is out on mobile devices! Click on the images to get to the store
What is and what is not in the game
There is:
- free play with a choice of tracks (new ones added)
- story mode (simplified in details)
- completely updated interface (it is more convenient to select tracks, sort by various options)
- more settings (camera movement, turn off the girl's sprite, etc.)
- there are now 4 tries before you lose the game
- you can change the background in the menu c:
No (compared to the Steam version):
- adding your tracks
- track acceleration
- train carriages :c
I do not exclude the possibility that I will add the option to add your own music, I just didn't have an opportunity (time) to do it. I'm interested in doing this myself, so we'll see.
Steam Update
Also, if you haven't noticed, I have released an update to the PC version of the game.
First of all, you can now take screenshots (sic!). I was wondering why no one wanted to take one screenshot in a year and a half. It turns out that I simply did not add this option to the game, because I thought that Steam would do everything for me!
New tracks from other artists were also added. Also Portuguese has been added thanks to Thiago "Thitz" Mania.
The following is a list of bugs that you have written during the year:
- Chinese language is now displayed correctly in the story mode
- buttons X, Y, A, B on the gamepad now work in Triple mode
- the second ball could hit earlier than necessary, now it doesn't
- acceleration settings do not go into the storyline from the free play mode (it was decided to leave the no-fail, not a bug, but a feature)
- the end credits could be cut off, this is fixed
- the animal mask in the plot could remain during the gameplay, now it doesn't
What's next
In the near future, I'm going to fix all the bugs that you find in mobile versions, and add new different things that you want (and which are realizable).
I will try to be online as long as possible. To report a bug or just confess your love to the game - join our Discord channel! Or you can also write about whatever you like here on the game page in the Discussions section.

Until next time!
Mobile & Nintendo Switch releases
I'm super excited to announce that and I hope you will love it!
Ping pong was already approved for release and now I'm making its' store page. It will be released around December 2020 and should not be delayed, because now the release date is set and it doesn't depend on me.
Now, about mobiles.
Android version of the game has already been done in early September. There are 2 main reasons I didn't release it then.
First of all, I wanted android and ios versions to be released simultaneously, and it turned out that it is quiet hard to get to the App Store. And it's not about the games' quality (they even didn't see it yet). Apparently, many people like myself can't get to the store for some mystical reason - and I'm trying to do it for several weeks, haha. But there were big improvements in past 4 days and I'm very close to getting to the App Store.
Secondly, Nintendo Switch version was getting a huge chunk of my attention. Switch and mobiles versions seem to be the same, but they are quiet different technically, and sometimes I only worked on the version for Switch.
For now, I can't promise that mobile verisons will be ready in one or two weeks or something like that.
When I will 100% sure that everything is done, I will make a new announcement post, so you girls and boys will know that time has come!
Demo of new rhythm game
Hello everyone! As I planned earlier I made a short demo for my new rhythm game Kovox Pitch.
It contains 5 tracks and a brief tutorial, check it out!

You can watch gameplay on the games' page or right here

I really need your reviews guys! Is it interesting or not, is it hard or easy and so on. Leave your suggestions on gameplay and visual improvements, I'll be grateful!
And of course wishlist it now ːsteamhappyː
From now and till the end of August I'll work on android port of Lofi Ping Pong. I hope I can end it in 1 month!
And of course I'll read your reviews on Kovox Pitch. Don't forget to follow and wishlist it c:
Lofi Ping Pong for mobiles
It's been a month since the beginning of the process and I'll need another one, because I'm re-making the game on the different engine.
[previewyoutube="HFIfLuUYE4A;full"]
For now - all locations and game modes are ready. The build that's in the video was made 2 weeks ago so I couldn't choose location/mode there.
I need time to make a story mode and fix bugs and some performance issues.
Now I returned to my new game Kovox Pitch, I will give an info about it later. You can now play it on itch, but it's kinda old build from February, many things will change when I drop a new demo build in about a month (I will write about it then)
https://calvares.itch.io/kovox-pitch
To sum up. New game demo ~in end of the July. LFPP for smartphones ~in the end of August.
I wanna remind you girls and guys that if you didn't write a review for LFPP - make sure to do it so the game will have a higher chance to have cards! And thanks to all of you who have already written kind words and critique for Ping Pong. I am reading all those reviews c:
NanoUpdate #1
Halloween Update
Earlier this spring LFPP came out. I made several patches and one major update (Speed increase). Then I said to everyone and myself that I will stop updating LFPP because I got kinda busy with other stuff.
But Ima hooligan and wanna break the rules so here you go - an update. Honestly, I just wanted to distract myself a little bit from a new project that I am making now. I am not planning to patch the game (only if this update will have some bugs) and will continue making new game.
So, what's new?
New location - attic. It won't appear in Story mode, just in Free play. It has a new gameplay feature - after several hits 3 balls appear on the table, where 2 of them are fake.
Also, 4 new songs are added from our old friends Zmeyev and Satoruu.
You can check new map on the video below.
I hope you like it, it was fun to return to LFPP once again.
but it was pain to read an old code
