[BADABOOOOM]

anyone know? i looked at the info and couldnt find it

[Pintar]

It doesn't currently have online multiplayer.

[BADABOOOOM]

will it in the future?

[Snugget]

This game is so fun and im gonna get it anyway even if the multiplayer isnt here yet but i think it would be awsome to have online multiplayer and maybe some kind of ranking system like league:P

Looking at the early access message, I would say yes. It states they will gradually be rolling out the multi-player features in b untill the point of estimated release. In May.

Naturally a guess, but that is how I interpreted the message. They really should be more clear on their intentions.

Shouldn't have to read the msg board to see that multiplayer's nonexistant, another false advert. shame.

Stated in the game's description that it is a "local multiplayer" game.

Yeah, I'm not going to buy it unless it has online multiplayer. They can't seriously expect everyone to have three friends who want to come over to play it. Also, I see no point in excluding online multiplayer. It would be the same game but better.

This is the maxim I go by in games: if it was that easy to do, but hasn't been done, maybe it's not as easy as you think.

The whole point of the game is to play with your friends next to you to get the reactions. playing online would kill the whole vibe of how the game is suppose to be played.

This is exactly what we wanted. Mario Kart is so much better when you can punch the guy who beat you. Although convenient it's just not the same when you play it online.

We can respect that. It is a party game after all and we've added AI for those moments that you cannot have others in the same room. If you think online is something you need in a game, we wouldn't want you to waste your money.

It is extremely difficult to implement online, especially with a physics based game. We currently do not have the resources to do it. You must remember that we are a small indie company trying to offer something special.

I, for one, would like to see online implemented eventually, as not all of us own a gamepad, and i would also like to play with people who, say, don't want to buy a plane ticket to fly to my house to play it with me.

I'd love to see online, but if there's no online, I'll still keep playing the game. It's still great without :)

Extremely annoyed that it even says on the store page 'Multiplayer' and i know there is also a tag for local multiplayer which is not on this page. A great game it may be but for the love of god please be clear about what it is. Going to request a refund, i'm sure its a great game but i wanted to play it with a friend and it may only be £6.99 but i also gifted a copy to a friend and that money could have gone towards something else. Not impressed.

My mistake there isn't actually an option for 'local multiplayer' that i can see, im getting it confused with 'local co-op'. I still hope that the developers make it clearer that it is local multiplayer so as to save any dissapointment.
