Buggos 2 - Update 1.3.0
Multiplayer
Buggos vs Buggos multiplayer is here. Up to 4 players fight it out over Steam, free-for-all or in teams.
- Host a lobby from the main menu, or join one from the lobby list or a Steam invite. Lobbies can be password protected.
- Before a match every player drafts their own evolutions and mutations from a point budget the host sets, then locks in.
- Two maps to start: Duel for 2 players and Crossroads for up to 4.
- Each player picks a color. Units, buildings and goo all take their owner's color so you can tell whose swarm is whose.
- Lose your last Hive and you're out, but you can keep watching with full vision until the match ends.
- When the match is over everyone lands back in the lobby, ready for a rematch.
This is a first pass on multiplayer. Expect more maps and more support in the updates ahead, and if you hit problems or have ideas, let us know on the Discord.
