Co-op multiplayer added!

Hey Everyone,

 

Here's our first pass at co-op multiplayer implementation, expect bugs!

 

We're really excited to see what you guys think and hear any ideas you have for either additional game modes or additions to the current mode!  - As this is a first iteration we've limited this mode to 2 players but expect to increase this in future patches.

 

As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub or send them in to [email protected].
