Hey Everyone!
Things have been REALLY exciting lately as The Concourse is starting to gain popularity! We have a brand new game mode that will certainly grant quite a few laughs and screams. We call it, "Bomb Mode". (SUPER original no?) One person has a rather large bomb above their head, they have to get rid of it ( Use Repel to give it to someone else ) before the timer counts down to zero. Everyone else can attack each other at will and use whatever they have at their disposal. Please note: If you attack the bomb holder you will simply FEED them energy! Fear not, for you CAN Repel the bomb holder in an effort to stay alive! Good luck and enjoy!
Please remember that you can now play LOCAL SPLIT-SCREEN multiplayer if you have controllers for it. ( Meaning you have to have 2 controllers to play 2-player splitscreen, 3 for 3 players, etc) Instead of just pressing "Ready" when your game starts like normal, just press F6 to split the screen once, then again to split it further.
Finally, I want to say that we are going to clean things up a bit and work on some things that need addressing (Bots for example) in the coming weeks. If we don't see you before then, please have a happy and safe holiday! :D

Gameplay
- Added Bomb Game mode ( Hot Potato in essence but with a Concourse twist )
- Changed Malfunction to Post Process effect that screws up the affected player's screen
Code
- Fixed bug in Splitscreen Multiplayer where falling off would not restore the player to the correct tile (No Walls modifier)
- Fixed Near Sighted modifier in Splitscreen Multiplayer where the obstacles would only appear to player 1. It now works properly.
Visual
- Added Post Process effects for Drift and Malfunction
- Added Particle burst when each player finishes a race
