Multiplayer

Pumpkin Patch supports play through the online lobby, however participation in ranked matches is currently prohibited by HD lobby rules and may result in bans or penalties. Starting from version 1.4.3, an anti-cheat system has been implemented that allows multiplayer play only when all players have matching enabled game features (skins are not considered).
