It took a while but CROSSBOWS HAS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER (on Android)!
After several days finding and fixing completely nonsensical bugs I've learned to respect multiplayer devs. There are so many odd things to consider when making an online multiplayer game.
Using the Google Play Games multiplayer infrastructure eased the process of implementing the needed features. But because of that you need to be on an Android device and logged in to Play Games if you want to do anything multiplayer related. Real bummer.
Making Crossbows an online multiplayer game was in my plans since I started developing it, only delayed due to lost motivation in the project. It is really nice to say that Crossbows is now exactly what I imagined over one year ago.
