I'm loving the sped-up gameplay!

Bug report: the game gives points to a second player and even puts him in the high-score chart, although he's not playing nor signed in, there isn't even a second controller.
I haven't even tried it with two players!

Thanks Hanamigi!

I'll look at the second player issue, though I haven't been able to find the problem yet.
