[h3]Important[/h3]
Sidebar menu - Kick player
There might be a bug where, if a random player joins in the middle of a game, the game suddenly pauses. In this case, the host will need to kick the player.
The best way to prevent this from happening is to set a password for the lobby.

P2P multiplayer beta testing is currently only available on Windows.
Mac support may be added later.

The multiplayer functionality is built using the Steam API, and this is my first time working with multiplayer.

Multiplayer was never a promised feature for the game.
it's purely an experimental addition, and it might work or not—we’ll see after testing.
