Tilt Five Patch: support for local co-op
Prepare for a wild ride because we are thrilled to announce that we've brought the local co-op experience in Battle Planet for Tilt Five! Get ready to dive into the action with Multiglasses and Mixcast, now fully integrated into the game! (Whoop, whoop!)
But that's not all, folks! We've cranked up the excitement by updating the Tilt Five driver to version 1.3.3! We've even added a handy reminder to make sure your Tilt Five drivers stay as fresh as the game itself. Plus, we've vanquished a pesky bug that had the audacity to mix up players and glasses, making the Player 2 control the Player 1 control and vice versa. Say goodbye to the glasses-swapping chaos when the game starts!
Bugfix Patch: Revive Mechanic & Projectile Visibility
Now, cooperative play will be fully fun and functional again.
Bug-Fixes
- Fixed revive mechanic in coop, you can now properly revive each other again
- Fixed visibility of projectiles for player 2
Fixed Revive: Previously, players were unable to revive their buddy, resulting in a frustrating soft lock. We made sure this issue is resolved and you can get up and fighting again consistently!
Fixed Projectile Visibility: When playing on Split Screen, Player 2 would not be able to see any projectiles shot, just the lights which should follow the bullets. This, of course, is very disadvantageous with how many projectiles fly around the screen at all times. Now, all projectiles will be visible again when joining a friend as a partner in crime. Fire away!
As always, if you encounter any issues or have feedback, let us know on Discord or here on Steam.

Patch-Notes for May 11th 2022
Features
- Upgraded Tilt Five SDK version
- Added an infographic with recommended playing pose for Tilt Five
- Added a brightness slider for Tilt Five
Bug-Fixes
- In rare occasions, weapons and other pickups were able to spawn "too high" for the player, making them inaccessible. This is now fixed.
- You're no longer able to pause the game during introductions of enemies, weapons and such, which resulted in an overlap of the pause menu while running the game
- When pausing the game, without giving any further input and then Alt+Tab to another program and then back into the game, the pause menu was auto-closing and the game continued. It now stays paused as it should.
- Improved stability of input devices on Tilt Five: Previously, the priority and order of devices used hasn't been great for Tilt Five, for instance when connecting a controller but playing with the wand, you saw wrong iconography for controls. Additionally, the input of the wand has not always been registered correctly, which should be fixed as well.

'One-Shot' Fix & Highscore Reset
It appears that our criminal-cloning system had a bug and so that crazy dude called 'Psycho' was able to “one-shot” all and everything out there.
Obviously, that led to pretty unbalanced und surreal highscores.
With that said, my dear criminals of all across space, we decided to reset all highscores on Steam with immediate effect.
We are truly sorry for this inconvenience to take place, but it also means that …
YOU BETTER GO HUNT THAT HIGHSCORE NOW!
