October 25th Update - Controller Remapping, New Minigame, Bug fixes!

Hey guys, just an update of what's been happening the last two weeks. It's pretty crazy the exposure Party Panic has seen on youtube already, with some HUGE channels uploading let's plays and having lots of fun with the game. I still can't believe it. Absolutely crazy!! After the online update quite a few bugs were found and patched, along with a few other things. Here's a full list.

New Minigame - Candy Brawl! Punch your friends, fight for candy!
Controller remapper - Should allow ANY controller to work after a little setup in-game. More info here (http://steamcommunity.com/app/506500/discussions/0/343787920134109178/)
Optimized the amount of data sent to the server for player inputs. From 1.32kbps to 0.09kbps. This should reduce input lag on minigames (Balloon Busters, Sumo Balls, Ball Bangers, Skeeball, Faceball) by a large amount.
Fixed a bug where scores would be added twice when playing online.
Fixed a bug where sometimes you would join a room but not be added on the waiting screen.
Fixed a bug where sometimes Feeding Frenzy would get stuck on the loading screen
Added performance optimizations to the gauntlet, now runs 300% faster.
Fixed a bug where if you could not see the winner of the gauntlet (unless you were the winner). Instead you'd just see a nice scenic view of a lake.
Synced the moving platform sections of the gauntlet so every player sees them in the same place (no more floating players on platforms you could not see)
Added spike spinners on two of the gauntlet sections
Added missing characters in some localizations
Fixed door #3 not opening in the room browser if there was an available game behind it.
Fixed players in the minigame Avalanche getting stuck (invisible players, their model model being detached from their actual position, resulting in only seeing smoke on the ground where they were)
Fixed players in the gauntlet getting stuck (invisible players)
Fixed crosshairs moving slowly when FPS is high
Fixed the quit game menu from disconnecting players and quitting the game when a player tried to quit the game without disbanding the group.
Fixed menus to use system input in some places (keyboard will always work)

There's still one more (large-ish) bug happening that causes freezing (black screen) while loading some minigames for some players. The minigames affected are Balloon Busters, Bubble Bumper, Sumo Balls, Skeeball and Faceball. For some reason some users can't load the physics library used in this. Will try to get this fixed ASAP, things should hopefully be fixed by this time tomorrow. //Dylan

Party Panic - Soundtrack

Party Panic is a crazy local-multiplayer party game for 1-4 players. Compete against your friends in 15+ rapid fire minigames, go head-to-head in the Deathmatch, or race through the brutal Gauntlet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's stupid. Grab your friends, pick your characters and get partying in this exciting and panic filled game!

Are you ready to punch your friends in the face?
Are you ready to chase exploding chickens?
Are you ready to run away from stupid (and hungry) whales?
Are you ready to play football with your face?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you might be ready for the stupidest party game ever!

15+ crazy minigames!
Over 15 unique minigames! Run, jump, and punch your way to first place! Feed zombies, chase exploding chickens, play football with your face! More minigames coming in future updates (total of 25 planned)
Deathmatch
Battle to the death in this classic split-screen game mode. Pick up weapons like bombs, snowballs, and giant hammers and K.O. your friends! Will you be the last one standing when the time runs out?
The Gauntlet
Race your friends through the deadly and brutal obstacle course that is the Gauntlet. Can you be the first to make it through the giant swinging axes, spike traps and more?
CPU Players
Party Panic is a hoot when playing with your friends on the couch, but sometimes this isn't an option. CPU Players are available to guarantee it's always a party, even when your friends are not around!
Silly hats!
Everyone knows all great games let you wear hats. Silly hats only. Wear a pot on your head, become a fierce viking, or an ancient pharaoh. Or just stick your head in a piece of bread. Whatever works. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Lovable (but slightly deranged) characters
In Party Panic you play as a Goober. You're a goofy goober. I'm a goofy goober. We're all goofy goobers. They're a little bit crazy though (probably from all the blunt force trauma to the head.) They like to scream randomly. Like a lot.
Built-in drinking game!
Enable it on the options screen to turn the party into a party. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you!
Original (awesome) soundtrack
Party Panic sounds like a party. Literally.

Can I play the game alone?
Yes. The game can be played with one player against AI, although the more human players you have the more fun the game is! All the party minigames are built around 4 players, any unused player slots will be filled with AI so you're always playing with 4 players. Deathmatch requires two players to play as there is currently no AI to play against, and while you can play the Gauntlet alone, it's still needs AI as well. Deathmatch and Gauntlet AI is the first thing on my to-do list, and will be added with the first update ASAP.
Will the game have online multiplayer?
No. Party Panic is best played with your friends in person, and is built around that idea. While online would be really cool, it's a huge technical challenge for a single-developer.
Do I have to use a controller?
Yes. Being built around the couch-multiplayer idea, most minigames require an analog stick + 4 buttons, and the Deathmatch and Gauntlet modes require two analog sticks + 4 buttons. Trying to use dual-stick styled controls on a keyboard just doesn't work. Any usb or wireless controller should work.
What languages?
Party Panic already has support for English, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese. More languages will be added slowly over the course of development. If you want to see a specific language leave a message on the forums!
Achievements?
