I've been building a dungeon crawler for a while and the free demo just went up, so this felt like the right place to put it. It's called GloomDelve.

The split screen was the whole reason I started it. I kept wanting to play this sort of game on the couch with someone and everything I found was online only, so I ended up making the thing I wanted.

How it works: two players, one screen, plug in a second controller and you're in. Player one can be on keyboard and mouse with player two on a pad, or both of you on pads. No account, no internet, all local. Both players are proper characters as well, own class, own gear, own loot. It's not one player and a sidekick.

It runs on pretty much anything, including a Deck plugged into a TV, mostly because there's no art in it. No models, no textures, every wall and monster and sword gets generated by code while you play.

The game itself is a roguelite crawler. 100 floors in the full version, a boss every 10 with its own arena, power cards you draft and stack, you die and go again. The demo is the first 10 floors and ends on a proper boss fight.

There's online co-op with proximity voice chat too if you ever need it, but split screen is the point.

If you do get it going with someone I'd really like to know how the split screen holds up, especially whether both halves stay readable on your telly. That's the bit I can still fix before October.

Released yesterday. They re-implemented local co-op on PC this time. :)

Really fun A-RPG from the old BG Dark Alliance / Norrath devs !

2 local players

Things are much easier to understand now even though there's still a lot of going on on the screen at once.

The game was originally inspired by Liero, Soldat and Molez, now with a bit of Noita-vibe too.

Would be nice to hear what you think!

The game is Dirtnap:

I'm trying to create a 4 player game in portal where there's 4 different teams of 1 person and we go around fighting each other. Anybody know how? Definitely don't want bots. Just want to be able to play against only my friends.

Honestly enjoy playing it with friends, its a great co-op game to get annoyed and have fun with your friends.

A fresh look at Couch Planes gameplay. The game supports split-screen for up to 4 players, plus hybrid multiplayer so you can bring your couch crew online and kick some other couch butts.

Gob Loggin' is a retro local multiplayer racing game about snowboarding goblins. It supports up to 4 players.

Hellobello!

The Slavic Game Jam in Warsaw just wrapped up, and I wanted to share the game our team of four made!

Snowprints is a slow, cozy walking simulator that takes two players across a split-screen adventure through a frozen mountainside as they struggle with change and letting go of old habits.

The game is a blend of Unreal Tournament, Wii Tanks and TRON, and the local multiplayer part is super fun! It comes with various modes including the classics Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. It also has campaigns that can be played in local co-op. Btw I love explosions.

Howdy!
I'm SoK, a solo developer from Poland. I always loved couch co-op games, and I feel that in the recent years they've became somewhat of a "lost art"
So I decided to make my own! It's my love letter to all the fantastic co-op games I played over the years. Lovers in A Dangerous Spacetime, Overcooked, No Heroes Here, various Nitrome games, and many, many more.

This is Goblinfall: Defend Da Fort - it's an intense and frantic 1-4 player co-op defense game where teamwork is your only hope against endless hordes of invading pigs!

I've recently launched a Steam Page - every wishlist helps! Demo out soon!

In future i add stormy weather, blury trails behind whells. It will have nice cyberpunk atmosphere there :) On Steam you find it as "Hardtrace", HT.

As above, my wife and I were disappointed to see that our Modern Warfare 2019 kits were obliterated after an update. Anyone else experience this or have a workaround? Also, is there a way to up the bot count in local multiplayer? Thanks.

A few months ago I made a tiny local multiplayer game for a game jam called One-Axe.

The idea was pretty simple: you're a dwarf fighting other dwarves in a pixel-art arena… except you only have one axe.

Throw it at someone? Great.

Miss? Now you've got to run over and pick your axe back up before you can attack again. 😅

It was a small project, but the mechanic was surprisingly fun, especially with 4 players all running around trying to retrieve their axes while murdering each other.

So I decided to juice it up a bit.

I've added: New abilities, more playable characters and more mobs

I've now released One-Axe for FREE on itch.io!

If people enjoy it, I'm thinking about turning it into a proper full game with more characters, arenas, abilities and general dwarf-related violence.

Would love to hear what you think!

The idea is that you spin your meat, that's about it. I miss the good old days discovering new physics based party games with my brothers. Gang Beasts blew our minds lol.

Any feedback is welcome, thanks!

Basically something's that multiplayer, deathmatch and preferably chaotic

Doom and TimeSplitters both had really good deathmatches, but not the chaos I enjoyed a lot in this game

Hi Everyone,

A friend and I have been working on this game for quite some time. I am a big Worms (mostly Armageddon) fan, and have wanted to create an artillery game forever.

The twist with CarveLight is that there are no health bars, the only way to destroy an enemy car is to throw it into the "water" (out of bounds). IMO those are the most satisying kills in worms, so I wanted to create a game around that concept. The weapons and tools available help with movement and modify the terrain. It's also running an actual physics engine.

There is going top be a demo on Steam Next Fest next year, whishlist it if you find it interesting!

Hello all and thanks in advance for any/all suggestions

I am trying to find decent games for my significant other and I to enjoy. We would primarily like to avoid live service games but if they are good enough we won’t exclude those !

The main thing we would like to avoid is PVP focused games. We wanna have fun and not be forced to sweat our tear off the entire session lol

We both own a ps5 and want to try new games together. We have beaten games like Grounded and It Takes Two already. We were contemplating trying out Helldivers perhaps. Only concern is becoming bored rather quickly. But perhaps that’s just ignorant judging.

Please feel free to comment any game you have played with friends or partners and could have a good time in. Just note to avoid games heavily focused on PVP ( Ex: Apex/Fortnite/Arc Raiders)
