1 Complex infrastructure
Months on WebSocket, Node or Go
Instead of fun and features, you end up building matchmaking, sessions, reconnects and player communication.
Multiplayer infrastructure for indie games
Lungo
Multiplayer for your game in one evening, without servers or headaches. Upload a Lua script, connect the SDK, and your single-player project is already online.
Rooms, matchmaking and authoritative logic are ready out of the box.
2-4 hours
from idea to first online match
Lua
simple logic, familiar to indie teams
No DevOps
focus on gameplay, not infrastructure
Why it matters
Why indie developers suffer
You already built a great game. Adding online is where the pain usually begins.
2 Endless tail work
Deployment, scaling, anti-cheat
Even a simple multiplayer game turns into endless backend and support work.
3 Expensive and slow
A backend engineer or sleepless nights
In the end, most indie projects stay single-player even though online would be a strong selling point.
What Lungo is
A ready-made socket server and admin panel for indie games
You write game logic in Lua, while Lungo handles rooms, turns, chat, timers and server-authoritative state.
Write game logic as a simple script
Rooms, victory rules, chat, timers, queues and any custom mechanics for your game.
Upload one file in the web admin
The server applies changes instantly, without a separate release or complex logic CI.
Connect a lightweight SDK
Godot, Unity or any other stack - the integration stays close to your single-player workflow.
Infrastructure does not steal your attention
Zero DevOps grind, zero manual matchmaking, 100% focus on gameplay.
How it works
Four steps to a live multiplayer game
The path is intentionally short: you do not rewrite your game, you add a ready-made online layer on top.
1
Build the game as usual
Ship the single-player mechanic and keep your game logic in the usual shape.
2
Add the SDK
One import line to wire event and state exchange between client and server.
3
Write a Lua script
Examples and templates are included for different genres, from turn-based to simple competitive games.
4
Hit Deploy
The admin panel ships the change to the server, and you can test it live immediately.
You can place 3-4 screenshots here
Admin panel, Lua script, browser game and connected players list as a short visual proof.
Ready to ship
Publish on itch.io or Steam with the Online Multiplayer tag and show the online-first flow proudly.
Why Lungo
Benefits that actually sell
Not an abstract "powerful platform", but a concrete set of advantages that help you ship multiplayer faster.
Faster than coffee
From idea to online in 2-4 hours, if you already have a game and a clear mechanic.
Authoritative server
All logic lives on the server, making cheats and desync much harder to pull off.
It scales itself
You do not think about servers, queues, reconnect logic or manual match handling.
Lua is familiar to thousands
The language is already common in Roblox, Defold and modding, so the learning curve stays low.
Perfect for lightweight genres
Turn-based games, board games and card mechanics are a natural fit for this approach.
Free to start
Launch the first projects without limits, then grow in a pay-as-you-grow model.
Demo games
Already something to show
These examples let people feel the product in practice instead of only reading about it.
Tic-Tac-Toe online
2 players, reconnect and turn timer. A good example of a minimal live online match.
Wordle Duel
Each round uses a new word, with speed races and chat for a light competitive game.
