Pixel Tennis for Android, performance and QoL improvements
Heya!
It started as an april fools joke exactly 2 years ago, but it now comes to reality. I am introducing WongCoins! It is now possible to play Pixel Tennis on Android powered devices like tablets and smartphones!
Starting with version 0.5.0, you can grab the corresponding .apk-file from the downloads section. It is functionally identical to the standalone build and also supports cross-platform matches. You can play the game by using its custom on-screen touch controls. If you have a bluetooth gamepad or keyboard, you can use it as well.
In order to make the game playable, lots of performance improvements had to be made, which are also part of the Windows version. It now runs smoothly at 1080p at 60fps even on low-end hardware without sacrificing on visual quality. This is the performance comparison between the current version and the previous build on a cheap 10” notebook with Intel integrated graphics.
