• Added a ready countdown to friend matches: once your friend has submitted their build, you have limited time to submit yours. When it runs out, your build is submitted as it stands.

  • New friend PvP lobby settings: the host can set the ready countdown (Off, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 s), battle speed (1x, 2x or 4x), run length (3 to 8 wins/lives) and resources (Random or Standard). The guest sees them read-only

  • You can now rejoin a friend match after a crash or disconnect, from "Rejoin Match" on the title screen or from a Steam invite

  • While your friend is disconnected you see a waiting message with a countdown. The match ends after 5 minutes

  • Leaving a friend match on purpose now tells your friend right away, so they don't wait
