Beetleball Demo Update #2

FEATURES

• Added 1v1 ranked! (It's a limited time gamemode to test how queue times are affected before it can be added permanently)

• You can now join custom lobbies while queueing! These are separate from regular custom lobbies so that the normal custom lobby players don't get annoyed by the constant fluctuation of players. To access this, enter the queue and then go to the normal custom lobby screen.
