Hello! Exciting news: Tim has been solidly looking into the worrying issue of connections dropping in some instances. I got an email from him at about 4am a few days ago saying he was increasingly confident the problem wasn't our code, it was server side. A few emails with the Photon Server guys later, and we're confident it's fixed. Hopefully you now won't have an unusual level of fluffed connections, but if you have any problems, do let me know!

I've also been paying serious attention to all the feedback I've been getting, and have been tweaking the gameplay here and there to suit you guys better. Again, let me know what you think!

Make sure you're running the latest version or you might not be able to find other players- quitting out of Steam through the taskbar and restarting tends to do the job.
