I just released version 7.0 of Disco Dodgeball, which includes one of the most-requested features: split-screen local multiplayer! Yep, you can now play multiplayer dodgeball with your friends on the same computer.
Hit "Local Multiplayer" on the main menu, activate your gamepads (up to 4 players), pick your bot appearance, choose any of the classic, expert, co-op challenge or custom matches and go!

A wide variety of gamepads are supported. And once you're in a match, you can further customize your bot to your liking by picking out from your existing Steam inventory of cosmetics.
Other changes:
New 'Bot Photobooth' feature shows your real bot and all your cosmetics in the round-end stats panel (not just a bot icon)
Access garage and customize your cosmetics within a match
Bloodlust KOs in custom modes now gain 0 exp to prevent easy XP gain exploit
Fixed decal clipping on Alkaline body
Blanking out Profile Name makes it revert to Steam Profile Name, which updates dynamically
Added bot self destruct when they get out of room bounds
Added behavior zones within arenas to make bots slow down & boost to improve their ability to navigate jumps & gaps
Greatly improved menu controller navigation
Can easily switch between gamepad & keyboard controls. Just hit the appropriate menu toggle button on the device to activate it.
Mouse input is now excluded from gamepad look controls, although it can be optionally enabled which is necessary for those using Steam Controllers with High Precision Input template.
Added rumble sensitivity slider
‘Most Kills’ stat now reflects most round kills if in a multi-round match. Most match kills are shown when match is over.
Enjoy!
