Handler notes

◦ Keyboards/mice only as the game lacks native controller support.

◦ Launch the game once before playing split-screen.

◦ Horizontal split works but the game/camera will be REALLY far away and act weird in small maps.

◦ After all instances have resized correctly, press the END key once to lock the input and control all instances, when you are done press END again then CTRL+Q to close all instances.

◦ Click play > new game > start the lobby and join in with others.

◦ Made with Talos91.
