Handler notes

When the game launcher opens quickly tick windowed and click play for the windows to resize correctly. Host a game in one instance and click on join in the others. Press the END key once when the instances finish setting up to lock the input for all instances to have their own cursor. You need to left click each mouse to make the emulated cursors appear after locking the input. Press the END key again to unlock the input when you finish playing. You can also use CTRL+Q to close Nucleus and all its instances when the input is unlocked. If you're using vertical splitscreen after creating a game in one instance click on quick game to join in the others. Only multiple keyboards and mice are supported as this game lacks complete native gamepad support.
