Brick Battalion version 1.06 is now available.
This update adds split screen multiplayer while playing offline. Now four players can sit on a couch just like old times. To play split screen multiplayer, make sure you are logged off and go to custom games. The player slots should now offer Player 1-4 in addition to bots.
Input profiles have changed to support split screen. If you were not using default settings you will need to reconfigure your input. There is a different input profile for each local player as well as menu navigation. When playing alone, all player profiles control the player.
You now chat with just your team by default in team games. To talk to everyone hold shift when opening chat.
The server has been moved to the cloud with this update. Connections should be more stable now.
