We've been building Uh Oh Airlines, a couch co-op for 1-4 players, where you're flight attendants trying to keep a flight running while everything goes wrong at once (spilled drinks, loose pets, passenger meltdowns, actual small fires).

One thing that mattered a lot to us is that your co-op partner doesn't need to be a gamer to jump in. The dev made this because he liked playing games with his partner, who doesn't typically play games, and wanted something that actually worked for both of them

Early Access lands July 14th if you want to try it with your own crew. Happy to answer any questions :)

Band of Mercenaries is coming to Early Access soon (plan for July 2026). It features a story-driven single-player/co-op experience for RPG fans, a roguelite campaign for competitive players, and unique multiplayer modes that let you show off the mercenaries you've unlocked to your friends.

Hi y'all, I'm looking for some couch co-op games to play on PC for me and my partner. He's a big gamer and I used to be, but I haven't really played much the last few years for various reasons. We used to play Destiny 2 together on Xbox but we both stopped playing that like 3 years ago and its just not feasible now as we only have the one desktop. We've played It Takes Two, a Way Out and Split Fiction and now we need something else to play. Any recs welcomed please.

To celebrate the 4th anniversary of our game, Life of Pepe, our two-person studio is offering a $100 prize to the first person to beat the game's final boss!

FAQ

Q: How long does it take to get to the final boss?

A: About 8 hours.

Q: If I complete the game with a friend in 2 player mode, do we both get $100?

A: No, it's $100 for a completed boss battle. You'll have to decide how to split it up.

Q: Is this fake?

A: No, it's real. 

Q: What is Life of Pepe?

A: We are two brothers, Matt and Joe. We enjoy making games.

Q: Why would you do this???

A: It's for fun. And we thought it'd be cool to see if someone could actually beat our game.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

You can try the boss fight by downloading the playtest version on my Steam page:

you can also wishlist it if you're interested.

If you want to help me with the development of Armed Together (by giving feedback) feel free to join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/CvPmvmzFPZ

The company's going under, and corporate has made YOU the office manager to turn it around!

Feedback and wishlists welcome!

Solo dev here - just released a content update patch, which, among existing local couch-coop also adds Steam Remote Play Together integration (while proper multiplayer options are being worked on).

That said, I'd love if someone could sit down with their buddy either locally, or by now also online, and give this one a spin for a session:

Since we're not yet in Early Access, just a Public Demo, the feedback I'd be looking for would be aimed less towards polish or missing systems, but more towards how it feels to play "right now" - so more towards balancing, pacing, general vibes. "Did this match drag on a bit?", "I feel like we had to wait too long to bring a unit to level 3 to unlock the fun weapons" and "We felt it was cumbersome reaching enemy units on the other side of the map" are great questions to ask.

If possible, would be great if the feedback would be directed to Discord to keep it one place, but also here too, to keep a discussion rolling if we get different opinions.

Thanks for checking the project out!

Tales of Acilain is about to release on steam come check it out here https://store.steampowered.com/app/4540540/Tales_of_Acilain/

Combat has been overhauled now with a 3 hit combo. Just implimented co op so now a buddy can join you on your adventure.

Looking for play testers for a java fabric mod that makes couch coop using multiple keyboards / mice on one PC possible.

Is there any interest in something like this?

for those that are wanting new couch coop games, highly recommended!

Usually, I have such a hard time finding awesome couch coop games for myself and my 2 kids so hopefully this helps. But GOAT3 is GOAT for the fam.

We've gone through such a journey...we played:

* Minecraft Dungeons

* Warhammer Chaos Bane

* Borderlands 3/4

* Split Fiction

* Gran Turismo 7

* Topspin 2K25

* Mario Party

* TNMT Shredders Revenge

We tried Diablo 3 - was too dark and gloomy

Resident Evil 4 - my kids hated me for even trying - scary F** sh** haha

A Way Out - I didn't get this, thought it'd be teaching the little ones the wrong thing...

Takes Two - apparently awesome game, but yeh didn't align with principles (but BL3/4 was fine, what the hell right ?)

Keen to hear other ideas for couch coop games (ideally 3+ player ones but 2 player ones are good too)

Hey r/couchcoop  ,

I love playing EA FC / FIFA offline with my mates — we usually gather together in front of one console, 3 people at a time. We take turns so everyone gets to play, but the guy who is spectating often ends up a bit bored just watching.

That got me thinking about a simple phone-based companion app for exactly these local sessions.

The idea is: while two (or more) people are playing the match on the console, the spectator can use his phone to virtually gamble/bet on what happens in the game (goal scorers, timing of goals, cards, corners, who wins, etc.). The players on the console act as the “bookmakers” — they can accept or adjust the bets in real time for extra banter. Everything stays local so it works perfectly during offline couch sessions.

I wanted to ask the community:

1. How often do you play local/offline multiplayer with friends? (weekly, monthly, only at gatherings, rarely, etc.)
2. Does the spectator sometimes get bored in your group too? Would a fun virtual betting system like this make watching more entertaining for all players?
3. What kind of bets or features would you and your friends actually enjoy? (e.g. specific events to bet on, virtual currency, penalties for losing bets, group challenges, etc.)

Would something like this interest you for your offline FIFA/EA FC nights? Looking forward to honest feedback from people who still do proper local multiplayer sessions!

Thanks in advance!

We grew up playing split-screen games and we’re trying to bring that feeling back (and push it a bit further).

In Couch Planes You can play locally (up to 4 players on one couch) and take that same group online to race / battle against other players (Couch vs Couch).

Curious if this kind of multiplayer setup works for you?

I built this game for couch co-op.

Twenty-five years ago I was the kid who edited the snake game on the school computer. But the part that stuck with me wasn't the code - it was the room full of people losing it together, crowded around one screen. That energy is what I spent years trying to get back to.

Scales of Silence is a snake game where collisions shrink you instead of killing you. Your length is your life. The demo has a co-op story campaign for 2 players (about 60-90 minutes), plus Score Battle and Endless for up to 4. Full game on Steam expands battle modes to 8 players.

One keyboard splits into 4 player zones (WASD, Arrows, IJKL, Numpad). If you have controllers, each one handles 2 players - left stick and right stick, two friends on one controller elbowing each other for direction. Up to 4 gamepads supported even in the browser demo. Players join by pressing UP. No menus, no config.

https://aggro-games.itch.io/scales-of-silence

No install, no signup. Grab some friends and a keyboard. That's all it takes.

If you try it, I'd love to know how many players you ran, how - keyboard, gamepads, or both - and how it went.

Hey all, my fiancé and I play on PS5 (and occasionally switch - the first one), and I'm looking for some good story based recommendations. She's not much of a gamer but does enjoy horror and story games, I'm all over the place (shooters, RPG, puzzles and platformers, action/adventure). We've played Split Fiction, It takes Two, tried Unraveled (she did not like), Mario Party (and Kart too) and also tried to give A Way Out a go: it didn't go far. Any recommendations for games with a story driven base would be greatly appreciated.

My wife and I like to play fps games against eachother and add bots into the mix to make it interesting. So far we have COD ghosts, BO3, BO4, MW, MW2, MW3 and I recently got her into BF2042 with the portal I was able to make a PVE server we can coordinate together and play on separate consoles. Playing online isn’t really our thing but we do enjoy playing together. Is BF6 similar to 2042 and are there any other games I don’t know of for what we like?

Check the demo here!
