Hello, the engine is very good.

I would like to know if  the engine has a 2 player local setting?

If not, will it be easy to implement one?

Think you very much!

Have a nice day!

You can play with up to 8 players locally provided you have enough controllers. Only 1 player can be on the keyboard.

oh wooooowww!!!

You are awesome
