This update brings mostly UI enhancements which were necessary for adding other things. To start off we have added 8 player support and custom loadouts. Enjoy!
New
8 player support. Largely untested so fingers crossed!
Players have a unique colour throughout the game
Host may choose custom loadouts for the game. Play with any combination of weapons you like
Tooltips appear on hover for certain settings
Chat, leaderboard and sound settings can be toggled pretty much everywhere
Changes
Plastic Explosive sets off 1 second earlier
Clone has a new graphic
ver. 0.1.7.4 - Clone Wars
This update changes the Plastic Explosive that was introduced in the previous version (thanks to your feedback!). In this version we are introducing Clones which should add some interesting tactical possibilities. Also some of you requested to have the map visible at all times so there you go - have fun having everything fully exposed. Last but not least we have a new item and a brand new beat!

"Naked" game mode (fully visible map)
In-game music track
Beacon item can be found from Bones (Peekaboo only). It will reveal your location every 10 seconds

Changes
Plastic Explosive will automatically explode after a short time
Napalm spread increases if its fire explodes another Napalm
Land Mine triggers a tad further from the player
Ducks will hit owner as well after the initial send-off

Sometimes the Public Games 'Connect' button fails to connect to the host and you have to use direct IP
Current round does not display correctly in shop when joining an ongoing game
ver. 0.1.7.3 - Plastic Fantastic
Some of you expressed concerns regarding the controls and this update should hopefully alleviate those pains. We also have a new bomb on the menu - Be careful, it's a bit touchy!
New
Plastic Explosive bomb (Semtex)
Custom controls can be set for the following actions: primary weapon, secondary weapon, previous weapon and next weapon
Setting: Disable weapon group switching (Space bar) and instead scroll inventory one-way e.g. weapons with previous weapon and bombs with next weapon

Host may select the map style to be played (specific one for the whole game or random one for each round)
Cross Bombs leave marks on the ground
Footstep marks appear in all maps
Changes

New
