I like it. Something different for a change. Also the multiplayer was a thing i thought about and then it appears the next stage. With some work, this could be the next great multiplayer autobattler. Keep it up.
Online multiplayer unlocks after completing stage 3 and is asynchronous: you compete against recorded runs from other players, with bots filling empty slots when needed.
Each match runs locally, so the speed setting affects everyone in that match. Pressing start begins the round for all sides together, so starting sooner doesn’t give you a head start over other players
