addedWe've also done a lot of work with how things like spectator mode and mid-match joining work, so that servers can be configured to allow people to drop in-and-out mid match.
addedWe're particularly proud of our bots. They can clear space, collect power ups, and are entirely capable of hunting you down and trapping you in very inconvenient ways. They should offer a suitable challenge for people new to the game and give you some viable opponents to play against while you wait for more humans to join the match.
changedIt's going to take a short while for the servers to update, but you should be able to play this within the next hour or so. Have fun!

This will make it a lot easier to actually get matches going and play with other people more regularly.
