Hello again! This is our bi-weekly update for our demo game! Have you been having fun? We've gathered more feedback over time and have added them to this week's update. Behind the scenes, we're going ahead to work on new themes and levels but, perhaps to some surprise, AI to fight against! More on that later... let's check out the patchnotes!
ADDED
When you join the lobby with you character, every player is notified who's who by showing their characters as a tooltip on-screen
Super Bumps are gained by picking up batteries from destroyed buildings! We've made this extra clear with some new effects for batteries - you'll see them better now!
CHANGED
Graphic settings will now apply during splash screen instead of title screen
The Steam Remote Play tip info box was changed to look nicer
Quick Play button now properly warns you when you are not with a buddy in-game (either through remote play or local)
Press A button on a character now properly selects it and moves on to the Ready button
Countdown now properly informs what the countdown is for
FIXED
Graphics will no longer reset or try to reset when (re-)entering the title screen
Splash screen graphics were looking a little off, so we've gone ahead and did our partners justice
In certain maps, the spawn points now properly spawn you facing a better direction
Once again, thanks to everyone who has been checking it out! If you have feedback or come across some weird things, feel free to let us know in the forums!
Enjoy!

Dashing Dodgems Demo Release
We're proudly anouncing the first playable demo for Dashing Dodgems!
Dashing Dodgems
[previewyoutube="CbwqhlUVEvU;full"] Dashing Dodgems is a fast-paced on- and offline multiplayer-focused game about destroying cities and friendships. Players control an arcade-style bumper car in a fully destructible environment in a variety of game modes across 20 maps set in four different themes. It features a colorful hand-textured artstyle lovingly crafted by award-winning artists and a custom soundtrack by Manglemoose.
The Demo
Right away, it features the first theme with four playable maps. The game is local multiplayer for now, though we support Steam Remote Play for online splitscreen. Currently the game only works with controllers, any players, locally or through Remote Play need controllers to participate.
