Minesweeper Together v1.5.0
Features
Added Versus gamemode:
Everyone gets their own board with the same seed.
Everyone gets their own lives (if set).
A random cell is opened once a game starts (same cell for everyone).
Your opponent's current scores are shown in a bar at the bottom of the screen; you can toggle it to show their current remaining mines by clicking the bar.
Dying puts you out of the game until everyone else dies or someone wins.
You spectate while dead, and can cycle between players by pressing Q and E or pressing on-screen buttons.
First player to clear the board or highest scoring player wins.
New music for Versus gamemode.
New achievement for winning a versus game.
Added leveling:
You can view your level and XP on the title screen.
You gain XP when a game ends. XP gained is the sum of all visible numbers on the board (XP is divided by 2 if losing).
XP is multiplied by what difficulty you're on:
Easy: 1x
Medium: 1.25x
Hard: 1.5x
Insane: 1.75x
Diabolical: 2x
After gaining enough XP, you level up!
XP requirement per level is logarithmic and you can keep leveling up indefinitely.
You can unlock lobby cosmetics for leveling up:
Frames that go around your avatar.
Nameplates that go behind your username.
There are NO microtransactions.
You can now create/browse public lobbies:
Game Settings now has an option for lobby visibility.
The main "Create Lobby" button has been changed to a "Play" button that takes you to a new play menu for creating or finding lobbies.
The "Lobbies" menu contains all available public lobbies that you can join, and an option to refresh the list.
The menu also auto refreshes every 5 seconds.
You can now start an offline game via the play menu.
You can click a player's name in a lobby to bring up a menu to either kick or ban them from the lobby if you're the host.
