Dead Cells Multiplayer Mod

DeadCellsMultiplayerMod is a multiplayer / co-op mod for Dead Cells, built using the Dead Cells Core Modding API (DCCM).

The mod adds co-op / multiplayer gameplay via a local or virtual network:
one player hosts a server, another connects — and both players can play through levels together in real time.

⚠️ The project is currently in development. Many core multiplayer systems are implemented, but full synchronization is still a work in progress.
