381: Early Access 0.17.12 - April 19, 2023 2:35 PM EST • Players can now join an existing party while the party is idling in a room or a hallway. In general, joining parties is much faster and smoother now. • Entering a password for a private game will now disable the level difference on the UI. Level difference is not relevant in a private game. Only the password matters. • The private game inputs will now remember your previously entered values so you don't have to type it all the time.
We have introduced support for the most popular gamepads! In the Iso Racer, you can now use a gamepad controller to control your race car and perform various actions. The gamepad controller provides a more immersive and enjoyable racing experience compared to using a keyboard or mouse. In the near future, we plan to be able to operate the entire game via gamepad.
