The affected games are:

  • Discogreement

  • Poll Plaza

  • Red or Blue

  • ULTIMATE CLIMAX BALL EXTREME

These games are technically still playable in an extremely limited capacity by going to http://localhost:18679/​ while the game is running on the same machine the game is on, but it is no longer possible to connect multiple phones to play multiplayer.

They will remain in A Buttload of Free Games for the sake of preservation but sadly there's nothing that can be done to restore their former functionality.

A launcher update will be released soon that will label these games and provide instructions on how to play them solo locally.
