Couch Party Game Night News

+ new mode where you can mix and match play styles with helicopters vs robots which introduces time limits, quarter, and half time player swapping in the middle of the match - 2 vs 2 for example, is 2 helis vs 2 bots, then at halftime, swaps
- increased the maximum look angles for Helis from 45 to 60 degrees
- changed final kill cam to only show the last player to be killed
- fixed bug where quitting a match in under 2 seconds breaks the menu
- fixed dynamic light flashes on the helicopter twin gats not firing
- helicopter zooms now vary between different gun types
- scoreboard now shows points earned individually regardless of team
- disabled helicopters from interfering with elevator platforms
- point progression now shown on BRB screens instead of kills

I've disabled selecting Predator Mode with Bots & Helis until I can figure out how to balance the gameplay with that combination of options. In the meantime, this is the most fun update to the game yet, so check it out. :)

+ helicopter battle mode added to the game
- inventory now cycles over empty guns
- rainbow rounds (ammo) option
- new "moon" time of day setting
- arcade cabinet and pinball machine graphics
- added frame limit setting of 240
- compression changed to full quality for all sounds
- plus many other tweaks and fixes
