our latest observations regarding friend request issue show that it's still not recommend to add anyone by friend code unless you arrange exact time when you do it

if you add someone who is offline, the "n" icon showing new friend request will not appear for him. the friend request will still be there if he opens friend list, but if he doesnt notice it quick enough, the friend request will disappear

if you add someone who is playing the game, he will receive a notification, but again, if he doesnt accept friend request fast enough, it will be gone. also if he restarts the game the "n" icon will disappear

the only thing that was fixed is people adding you from game when before you used to get a notification but no actual friend request

adding someone on steam is still a better option

for a while this was a question to me whether putting people in fire actually speeds up the train. @Fasty told me that it does but i've never seen the difference when playing. so now we finally activated our autism and did the testing. here are the results:

it does speed up but very little. for 1 lost coal you need to put other players 6 times in fire to compensate it. but what's more not only can you speed up your train by enemy players but by throwing yourself in fire too

the next thing we're going to test is the difference between easy and hard bots. after playing with hard bots a little i noticed that what @MrJoe said could be true, that it's harder to ko hard bots, which wouldnt be the best decision to increase the difficulty of bots as a lot of players already struggle connecting their punches. but more testing needed

we also noticed that lately easy bots were dying too fast. we cant test if there is a change because we cant go back and compare their hp to how it was before, but we can try to test their hp compared to hard bots

the main tip for this game remains the same and it is to have fun with your friends, it is to find friends that you can trust. the tips we discover and provide here we do for fun and out of curiosity, not to help you win games, winning is not important

our tips and tricks video is still in the works, it's just a very big video, that's why it takes so long

if you struggle defeating many bots at once on new ship map, use green bow and shoot them mid air before they can reach your ship

You can mini-throw stuff by headbutting them before you throw them. (I once managed to activate a bomb without throwing it foward at all, almost killed me)

[dang forgot vickzy was watching this thread]

    Here's 2 tips that might not have been mentioned:

    Any map that has water in it, if you try to use swim whilst using stamina, you actually move/swim slower than if you just don't use stamina while swimming.

    Another thing to note: In Conveyor during the final 15-20 seconds, when the white conveyor belts start speeding up, you should hop onto the black conveyor belts on the sides of the map, because they move slower once the white conveyor belts start to speed up faster and faster.

      regarding health regeneration that @komikoza mentioned somewhere. at last moment, before uploading the video, i decided to test what will happen if you hit knocked out enemy slower. so the truth is, it's not knocked out state that makes enemy take more damage, but how fast you hit him. our instruction on using shovel will be corrected, without going into details

            was there a change to stamina? i run out of it instantly now. could this be a reason you can set stamina to 200% in custom now? i didnt test it, but what i noticed is this

            if you take a short break between punches, you can do 13 punches. if you do it as fast as possible, you can only do 9. you shouln't "spam" punches anyway, but it seems to be what drains your stamina faster now.

            i can compare to my latest recordings before the update and try 200% to see if it will make it as it was before. but do i want to keep doing those tests all the time? it's tiresome. i read discorders analyzing game mechanics like complete autists. do they see how they look when they do their deep analysis of children's party game? children dont even notice those changes. why cant we be like them?

            the first tip that will define party animals year two is that you should relax and stop thinking. stop caring and have fun with what you have. this is just a 20$ steam game and there's whole world aside of it. i am more bothered that i dont have a wife to cook me rabbit for world rabbit day than these changes. we should start drinking when playing party animals. being sober was a mistake. we were playing party animals wrong all along. this year will be different

            because we are currently at war with cats, we cant post tips openly to not help our enemy. i looked how some people go around new nemo kart tracks and it was painful to watch. to help dogs i will distribute you videos personally showing how to go around new tracks the right way

            speed potion was released when i was busy working on the video, so i didnt have much time to play with it and understand the best use for it. now that i played the game more, this is what i learned:

            basically you should treat speed potion as running without having to waste stamina on running. trying to run using speed potion may result you accidentally falling off the map. the best is if you combine speed potion with a weapon. this way you can move fast with a weapon, while wasting no stamina on it. simply dont press run button, you are already moving fast,

            i will remind, that after drinking speed potion, new weapon will spawn shortly, so wait for it if you can

            I tested the new food poisoning pawer, so here are the tips
            Pick the pawer when you have the spinach master, so you can start the game by eating the spinach and then set the trap, works way better with super spinach master, infinite traps.
            Useful maps: Ring of Garfat, it is the only map that doesn’t allow items, so you can trick the people thinking they are getting a buff. Gator valley: It is the map that spawns the most spinach (Invisible potion and speed potion are less common) so when there is lots of spinach cans, the enemy is going to be confused.
            How to avoid it: When you see someone that drinks anything and gets fhe effect of the ability and leaves a consumable on the floor, dont eat it, and you can wait until it has a green gas effect, so you can double check if it is a bad one.
            Place on the tier list: B
