Multiplayer Update — Independent Rounds & Contest Readiness

Domeni Playtest · published · build 26282316

- Progress through regular rounds and shops at your own pace.
- Contest rounds now feature a Ready screen. The two-minute countdown begins once all surviving players arrive.
- Contests start immediately when everyone is ready.
- Missing the deadline costs one heart and skips that contest. Losing your final heart eliminates you.
- Removed the floating Finish Round button.
- Improved recovery to preserve contest readiness and countdowns.
- Fixed gameplay shortcuts activating in menus or while typing.
Applies to both Head-to-Head and Free-for-All. The demo remains two tiers with two starting hearts.

All players need the updated build to play together.
