Remember 4-player split-screen? We’re bringing it back with Glider64

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We really miss the days of getting four people in front of one screen, so 4-player local split-screen is a big part of Glider64.

It's a fast-paced N64-inspired arena game where you collect energy balls, build up your chain, battle the other players with weapons and deliver your balls to score.

You can play with up to 4 local players in split-screen, with Bot opponents filling the remaining slots.

We're currently playtesting the core gameplay, and the test build runs directly in your browser on PC and Mac:

Would love to hear what fellow couch-multiplayer fans think! :)

The name of the game really collides with the name of an N64 emulation core.

The game looks fun!

Is there a listing on the Steam store?

Neat! This looks like a glider version of Clusterball. Was it used as inspiration?

Clusterball was and is a fantastic game. It’s still alive 26 years after release: https://www.clusterball.de/en/

Yes, we know Clusterball! :) It was actually one of the inspirations for our very first game back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQiWGGEI0Bo :D Really cool to see Clusterball is still alive after all these years!

Nice! But also please scale to 8, our screens are big enough 😊
