Hi,=20

 You're right, Ingo, I've not thought about levels that can have a=20
path that is impossible for two players...=20
 Anyway, for now, a 2p cooperative gameplay is possible and in the=20
future, special levelsets for co-2p should be created.=20
=20
 I don't like screen spliting that much, this way would be pretty=20
cool.=20
 About the respawn, I think that when a player dies, the other=20
should be able to keep playing, and when both dies, the level should=20
be reseted. Lives should be kept separated.=20

 This can be easily done... As Tobias said, let's wait for the 0.0.6=20
release before implementing this.=20
