Penguin Hockey Roguelite PengPong Launches on Steam With 10% Off Sale
The release caps a development cycle shaped by demo feedback, with the studio revising combat flow, stage progression, boss patterns, and weapon combos before the full launch.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
SANDY FLOOR released PengPong on Steam on August 20, 2026. The top-down roguelite has players control a penguin with a hockey stick, scattering enemy hordes. It sells for 1,588 yen, discounted to 1,429 yen until September 4. The demo drew over 30,000 players and 25,000 wishlists.
The game is a Vampire Survivors-like action title where the core twist is aiming and hitting yourself. Weapons carry a bounce stat, so pucks keep flying as they ricochet off walls and enemies, then return when they slow down. Narrow spaces produce more hits than open fields.
Players can throw more than pucks. Guns, earphones, and pufferfish found on the floor behave differently when thrown; a gun spins and scatters bullets. The demo, available since November 2025, was played by over 30,000 people and drew more than 25,000 wishlists.
SANDY FLOOR used that feedback to review combat flow, stage progression, boss attack patterns, weapon combinations, and control feel. The game is a full release, not early access.
