PewPew Live v0.7.173 is finally out!

Why the long wait?

We would have liked to push this update sooner but faced a few unexpected roadblocks that slowed us down. We've solved everything we wanted, enabling us to finally push it out. It is available on Android, and now on Steam!

What's new?

• The Pointonium Era (Era 2)

This update includes the release of Era 2, which resets the leaderboards, and allows us to add replay-breaking changes, namely Pointonium (the little green things)! Each different shard gives different amounts of score, like so:

• Small Pointonium - 64 score
  

• Medium Pointonium - 128 score
  

• Large Pointonium - 256 score
  

• Ooh, shiny!

To reward top leaderboard players, they now have special badge designs for their ranks. The Top 3 place players get medal-like badges, while the Top 100 get a unique badge from the others.

• New level selection UI

This update changes the way you see Official and Community levels, simplifying the steps required, while also letting you sort Community levels too! Difficulty ratings have been added as well, making it easier to find levels you'd like to play.

• Official level merge

Official levels were always treated differently, but now, along with the UI change, Official levels get to have the same features as Community levels, like comments and stats!

• Steam-exclusive features

This better integrates with the Steam SDK allowing for handy quality of life features. Here they are:

• Steam Rich Presence
  Want your friends to see what you're doing? Well, this is perfect for you. Now with Steam Rich Presence, you get to enable the status
  
  which looks like this
  

• Pause on in-game overlay
  Now the game pauses when opening the in-game overlay. You are also able to open links from the game to the in-game overlay!

• Optional floating messages

With a single quick setting change, you can hide the optional floating messages if you feel like they are obstructing your view! The setting can be found in UI Settings.

• Account settings refresh

To simplify the account page, the settings were moved to a separate screen, accessible via the button at the top right.

Along with these main things, Hungarian was also added to the languages available in-game, and a licenses screen where you can view the open source libraries PPL uses. The update also includes possible bug fixes and general stability improvements.

We hope you can enjoy playing this new version of the game, and give us more feedback!
