There are two ways to access online multiplayer: [olist] Launch the game, go to "PLAY" and select "Online." The game will give you the option to automatically switch to the beta branch. Select "Yes" and restart the game.
Find Polymino in your Steam library, right click it (or select the gear icon in Big Picture/SteamOS), select Properties, then the Betas tab, and choose the "beta" branch from the drop-down menu.

This version features some additions to Gauntlet mode, some audiovisual changes such as more animations and sound effects, and lots of bugfixes. However, I am most excited to announce that online multiplayer is now live on the beta branch of the game!

Changelog
Gauntlet Changes
- Each time a round is cleared, it is unlocked as a starting round (up to round 10)
- Added bonus points awarded after clearing each round
Audiovisual Changes
- Added multisample antialiasing (MSAA)
- Modified the appearance of the "Fire" profile background
- Added blue and yellow flashes to Junk Attack when the Ability Meter is filled
- Made red flashing animations (which indicate immediate danger) more visible in crowded parts of the board
- Changed timing of flashing round number at the start of Gauntlet rounds, so it aligns with the board replenishment animation
- Changed animation for junk being removed from the board (e.g. due to a Junk Transfer), making each block disappear at slightly different times
- Added sound effects for charging the Ability Meter (i.e. holding down the bomb button)
- Added audiovisual cues for the game speed changing (either due to score in Classic mode, increase over time in Junk Attack, or a Speed Up ability in Junk Attack)
Bugfixes and Minor Changes
- Fixed a bug where the player's saved V-Sync setting wasn't restored
- Fixed the timing of resizing/repositioning the menu button prompts/FPS counter
- Reworked FPS counter: made it smaller, excluded leading zeroes
- Fixed a crash which could occur when plugging in a controller mid-game
- Fixed Polymino logo not appearing in the menu for selecting a puzzle type
- Fixed handling an invalid display index setting
- Removed recommendation to start at speed 5 from the tutorial, now that the earlier speeds are faster to progress through
- Fixed "Press Start/Enter" appearing for a single frame at the end of a demo
- Disabled controller rumble during the demo
- Removed excessive logs caused by custom leaderboard colors in some leaderboard menus
- Removed spurious yellow flashes from Junk Attack (which normally indicate a bomb was earned in Classic mode)
- Fixed a bug which prevented new profiles from being created
- Added support for scores with more than 7 digits to the HUD
- Removed unused assets from Steam builds of the game
- Updated menus where you enter your name for a high score, keyboard inputs are no longer interpreted as typing by default

Polymino is an intense puzzle game with a simple premise and a high skill ceiling. Match blocks of the same color to destroy the large junk pieces that are continually dropped into your board. If your board is too full for the next junk piece to fit, you lose!
Get creative and develop your own playstyle: use gravity to your advantage, chain huge combos, and line up satisfying shots that cause huge amounts of destruction!
Note: local multiplayer requires controllers for players 2-4. Player 1 may use the keyboard or a controller.
