Couch Party Game Night News

- you can now press escape during gameplay and set any player as "be right back", which allows the game to continue while they're away
- updated sniper tower structure to give more cover on the way up, plus a floor in between with more cover there
- adjusted ammo amounts for paintball and lasertag modes for those who play without 1 hit kills
- adjusted the randomization of objects for "Mountain Range" to have a little more cover starting out
- added game ending kill shot cam that shows the last player killed full screen before displaying scores
- raised the limit of how steep of a hill players can walk without climbing / jumping up it, from 45 to 60
- lasertag mode now has gear to use, but instead of a camball like the paintball mode, its a super jump
