Two New Coop Game Modes.


I have added two new game modes, both being coop modes. These are examples of mechanics as of now as I do not have enough levels or an objective yet. These modes will be expanded upon a bit, they will likely be long-form levels mimicking the OG Katamari where you work to get extremely large rather than competing with each other. Both coop modes have a buff and a nerf to how normal Katamari is played. The full details for each mode is as follows:

Multiball: Both players have their own ball, however you share size. When someone picks up an object each player gets volume from it. The volume gained is reduced from other game modes. Even if one person is AFK the other will still be giving them size, it will remain equal between players. Unlike VS modes, leaving does not return items to the ground as they are still contributing volume.

One ball: There is only one ball. Both players have control over where it goes. Both players have less power than normal, but when going the same direction you end up moving faster. People who cooperate well move faster than normal  and those who dont wont move very far. This game mode is clearly meant for people who hate each other and want to hate each other even more. This was a game mode from the original Katamari games.

Other than the two gamemodes, the menu was changed to allow space for them, you can choose VS or COOP modes with the buttons. There is a new "Join" button that allows you to join a friend without being the one to create a lobby, if you put in an existing lobby code and hit join the button will put you in the lobby. If the lobby does not exist literally nothing happens other than you cant press the button for like half a second... Trying to "create" a game with a room code that already exists still makes you join the existing room instead of making a new one.

lastly i fixed one or two crash glitches involving people disconnecting and I sped up the spinning of the item in the bottom left.

I do need to add sounds sorry for the silence ingame.
