Hello everyone. In this blog post I want to showcase new features that I've added.
Last version of the demo was launched on 31.07.20 and after that I was working on Lofi Ping Pong Switch version. I finished it in the middle of December and after that I was 100% on Kovox Pitch.
So, in the last 6 weeks I added:

1. Gameplay features.
Red and blue balls like in classic taiko. You can hit Red balls only with Z (left) button and Blue balls only with X (right) button. White balls, which you can hit with both Z and X, are still in the game.
Now there is a second line for balls (rear moped). In the last demo I wanted more depth, tried to make it visually with parallax, but in the end it turned into this gameplay feature.

2. Graphics.
I decided not to use photos as backgrounds (it was a hard solution). For the last year I tried to make visuals using photos but I didn't succeed. We will draw all the backgrounds by hand, the video shows the first try.
The vespa has also been redrawn - adjusted to the perspective, and now it is full-size (people who have 21:9 monitors saw in the last demo that the moped was completed only to the middle).

3. Settings.
When choosing a track, it is possible to simplify the game - change the speed of the ball, remove colored balls, etc. Also I added a menu with basic settings such as volume and fullscreen. In addition, you can play with the camera parameters and set the cap for the FPS.

4. Calibration
A thing that many wrote about on Ping Pong (maybe I'll add it there later too). Now you can test and set offsets for audio and video. Dunno, whether it is working properly now, let's look at the tests from the players.

In addition, I fixed old bugs (and added new ones), plus I changed the tracks a little again, there are 5 of them, but slightly different than in the previous version.
