<p>Open a room in the Playground and pass its code to a friend, and you play together, with up to four Orbiters between you. If nobody's around, Quick play finds someone who is also looking.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="two-people-on-one-orbiter">Two people on one Orbiter<a href="https://xplorer-docs.plantasia.space/whats-new/play-with-someone-else#two-people-on-one-orbiter" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Two people on one Orbiter" title="Direct link to Two people on one Orbiter" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<p>Two people can play the same Orbiter at once. A control you are holding shows as yours to the other player, and the whole session stays in sync.</p>

<p>Orbiters run on a new sound engine: stretch an audio without changing its pitch, play it backwards, or break it into grains. Each effect also shows in the scene.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="open-source">Open source<a href="https://xplorer-docs.plantasia.space/whats-new/a-new-sound-engine-and-open-source#open-source" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Open source" title="Direct link to Open source" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<p>The code behind Plantasia Space is open, so you can see how the instruments you play are made.</p>

<p>Your work saves as you go. Audios keep their versions, and editing something released starts a draft, so people keep hearing the released one until you release again.</p>
