Version 0.6 is now available and is focused on the cooperative multiplayer mode for the scenarios and Arena challenges. While there's still more work to be done for features, improvements and bug fixes for the coop, the main gameplay features are implemented and many players have been helping to test these during development which we appreciate.
Right now depending on your ping some elements of the gameplay will feel less responsive than in single player if you aren't hosting, but this will continue to be improved.
The upload speed required when hosting a game will be higher on levels with more enemies and weapons, and will also be higher with more players. If you are hosting and people in your game report issues such as enemies sliding around and not animating, you might need to only host with 2 players and/or stick with the Arena challenges which have a lower bandwidth requirement. We'll continue to optimize bandwidth requirements going forward so this will improve.
If you encounter major issues with the multiplayer please let us know on the Steam forum.
This version also fixes the Gfycat GIF uploading that hasn't been working for the past month since API changes on the Gfycat end.
We've already started working on the level editor for version 0.7 and plan on providing access to this for testing as it develops soon in the 'earlytests' beta branch on Steam soon.
