With this update Party Panic now has true online multiplayer! You can now join any public games and play against random people on the internet! Rooms are sorted automatically, so the first rooms to show up will have the best connection. Party Panic still has a quite small playerbase, so oftentimes there may not be anyone else looking for a game, but at least you can now try :)
NOTE: Party Panic uses direct connections between players for online multiplayer, limited only by their individual speeds. Your experience playing online may vary depending on the hosts and all connected players internet speeds.
There's also a few new minigames bringing the total up to 23. The new minigames are:
- Spike Scramble
- Present Panic
- Ruined Ruins
- Spooky Shootout
See below for a full list of notes since the last announcement.
Update notes
- Modified the online room browser. There is now a toggle (X) between Public games waiting to start (anyone can join these games) or Private games (only people on your friends list).
- Fixed some bugs with joining public games.
- Added some simple communication options in the "Waiting for players" menu, allowing you to communicate with everyone else in the lobby.
- New Minigame (#23) - Spooky Shootout! Ghosts are haunting the house, shoot as many of them as you can to get points!
- Fixed a bug where Ruined Ruins totems were spawned in at the wrong locations
- Fixed a bug where AI crosshairs (Crumbling Tiles, Lava Blocks) were not finding a valid target and would not move.
- Fixed a bug where AI crosshairs would only spawn in head hazards at the center of the screen.
- Adjusted the AI for Chicken Chase.
- New Minigame (#22) - Ruined Ruins! Mash the attack button as fast as you can to smash ancient goober totems. RIP your fingers.
- New Minigame (#21) - Present Panic! Get in the holiday spirit by throwing presents at houses! Aim carefully as you only get points for hitting the front door, and lose points for hitting cars!
- Added a santa hat.
- New Minigame (#20)- Spike Scramble! Don't get squished by the falling spikes. Use the shadows to find safety!
- Added a 'Screenshake' setting in the options menu. Turn this off to disable all screenshake effects (was requested by a player)
