Online Co-Op

This is the biggest update Newtonia has shipped since launch: you can now play two-player co-op online, across platforms.

How it works? Pick ONLINE from the menu and host a room. You will be given a 5 letter room code and a share link copied to your clipboard - either will work. They can join from a completely different platform. Works without additional accounts, if you have Newtonia you can play online with friends.

Play together across devices:

• Steam (Windows, macOS, Linux/SteamDeck)

• iPhone & iPad

• Android (in Beta testing)

On Steam, your friends can also join from the friends list, you'll show up as "Hosting a Co-Op Game" and they can just click join from the right click menu on their friends list. As a bonus, if you die early, you'll spectate, and you friend might find a revive to bring you back into the game!

Also in this update:

• Three new weapons: pierce beam, lance, and shock, providing more fun ways to destroy asteroids

• New pickup icons: all pickups now have unique icons so you can tell what you'll get when you pick it up

• FixedOptionschange your camera mode (fixed/rotation), camera smoothing, input sensitivity and star density

• Controller navigation overhaul: menus, room codes, everything works from the pad

• Arrow keys now work alongside WASD keys for player one

• Countless fixes and performance work across every platform
