Public Matchmaking - Play against ANYONE online, and new games!

With this update Party Panic now has true online multiplayer! You can now join any public games and play against random people on the internet! Rooms are sorted automatically, so the first rooms to show up will have the best connection. Party Panic still has a quite small playerbase, so oftentimes there may not be anyone else looking for a game, but at least you can now try :) NOTE: Party Panic uses direct connections between players for online multiplayer, limited only by their individual speeds. Your experience playing online may vary depending on the hosts and all connected players internet speeds. There's also a few new minigames bringing the total up to 23. The new minigames are:

Spike Scramble
Present Panic
Ruined Ruins
Spooky Shootout

See below for a full list of notes since the last announcement.

Update notes

Modified the online room browser. There is now a toggle (X) between Public games waiting to start (anyone can join these games) or Private games (only people on your friends list).
Fixed some bugs with joining public games.
Added some simple communication options in the "Waiting for players" menu, allowing you to communicate with everyone else in the lobby.
New Minigame (#23) - Spooky Shootout! Ghosts are haunting the house, shoot as many of them as you can to get points!
Fixed a bug where Ruined Ruins totems were spawned in at the wrong locations
Fixed a bug where AI crosshairs (Crumbling Tiles, Lava Blocks) were not finding a valid target and would not move.
Fixed a bug where AI crosshairs would only spawn in head hazards at the center of the screen.
Adjusted the AI for Chicken Chase.
New Minigame (#22) - Ruined Ruins! Mash the attack button as fast as you can to smash ancient goober totems. RIP your fingers.
New Minigame (#21) - Present Panic! Get in the holiday spirit by throwing presents at houses! Aim carefully as you only get points for hitting the front door, and lose points for hitting cars!
Added a santa hat.
New Minigame - Spike Scramble! Don't get squished by the falling spikes. Use the shadows to find safety!
Added a 'Screenshake' setting in the options menu. Turn this off to disable all screenshake effects (was requested by a player)

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?
