Description
This build features @fragmental's work on audio options, new sound effects from @kyle3wynn and lclhstr, and @lightsoda's work on @kednar's "robot paddle" (players are currently automatically assigned paddles).

Instructions
Select a multiplayer mode (local or online). If online play is selected, create a host or join an existing game as a client.

Choose desired model variants and table layout and click Load Scene. Select the paddle you would like to control (1 for left, 2 for right) and click Proceed.

Use Up and Down cursor keys to control paddle movement. Use Ctrl to activate the slingshot paddle's effect. Use Ctrl and Alt to control flippers. Press Space to trigger player powers (single use, randomly given every 10 seconds)

Known Issues
Please note that this is still a very early build - the game is still missing many important mechanics (such as scoring goals)!

  • Network sync of paddle location is not reliable
  • Network sync of ball location is not reliable
  • Player controlled paddles will sometimes move on their own
  • Clicking Load Scene without selecting a table or model variants will result in models not being loaded
  • The Reset ball position button does not work for clients in networked multiplayer
  • Ramps are difficult to hit the ball into
  • Paddle abilities and flipper controls use the same keys
  • Space triggers powers for both players at once
  • Player powers do not work properly with networked multiplayer
  • Flipper controls affect both players' flippers
  • Paddle movement is not final
  • Ball physics are not final
  • Camera does not follow ball
  • Table layouts and obstacle behaviours are not final
