Hello everyone,Since releasing Demo 2, we’ve been truly grateful for the incredible interest in PengPong—your feedback, messages, and wishlists have been making our days brighter every single day. We hope PengPong can bring a little joy to your everyday life as well.This update is a special one, alongside our usual improvements.Removed '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.After that, the PengPong team…
