Now let's get to the part you've been waiting for... online multiplayer! Here are the main online features:

  • You can host lobbies that are either public or friends only

  • You can send Steam invites to your friends and give them a button to click that automatically sends them to your lobby

  • There's a chat you can use by pressing T

  • Everything should be super smooth, but I make sure to report any bugs on the Discord!

And if you're STILL reading this... GO PLAY NITRO TURTLES ONLINE! And make sure to wishlist the game and join the Discord if you haven't already :)
