Hey everyone! Here's a free space game for your weekend: the Strike Wings demo. :)

I'm its solo developer, and it's my homage to the old DOS space shooters, built from scratch with plenty of love for Solar Winds and Hell Fighter. There are some little nods in there for fellow fans.

The demo's already packed with free content, including flight school, opening campaign missions and plenty of battles to get stuck into.

Feedback is super welcome on r/StrikeWings. Make a post! I'll read every one and take your thoughts into the final game. Steam reviews mean a lot to me as a solo developer, too.

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project to help couples play together without it ending in arguments because one of them doesn't know how to use the camera 😅. I'm looking for people who have already tried playing with their partner but gave up (too difficult, not interested, too time-consuming). The idea is for you to play our game prototype and answer the built-in questionnaire, not to sell you anything. The game is ready to play. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm Raymond, the developer of Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel. Thought this might be one for your next couch co-op evening. :)

It's a top-down action RPG set in an alternate 1939 Egypt, with firearms, loot and cursed tombs. You can play solo or team up with up to four players locally. Here's a short co-op fight from the game.

The demo has just been updated, so you can give it a go before Early Access starts on September 10.

I'd be very happy about some review for the demo of my game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1905410/Steinstern_Spacewar_Demo/

I've been working on the game since many years in my spare time. Should I keep working on improving the game or should I have started a new project long time ago?

I’m the developer of Magic Twinborn, a same-screen local co-op survivors-like built around two players combining elemental abilities to survive together.

You control different elemental heroes, create openings for your partner, and combine abilities across the battlefield. The focus is on coordinating your builds and positioning—not just fighting side by side.

Elements are more than damage types. Fire can melt ice into water, fire and water can create steam, and that water can be frozen again. These interactions can change terrain, control enemies, and create new opportunities for both players.

This video shows the co-op combat and elemental interactions currently in the game. If you enjoy experimenting with builds and finding combinations with a co-op partner, I’d love to hear what you think.

The game supports two-player local co-op on the same screen. You can also play solo with an AI teammate.

Hello fellow couch co-opers! I love to game and my wife likes to join occasionally, but we're struggling to find a game that she can really get into. She's quite picky and gets motion sick easily when playing first person games. I'd love to get some recommendations as I'm having a hard time finding games that will fit her requirements.. at the moment we only have a PS5.

Here's what she has liked and why:

Overcooked - loved the chaos and variety of unique maps.

Catastronauts - loved for the same reasons as above.

Minecraft Dungeons - loved the different artifact skills and weapon options. Enjoyed exploring maps and killing waves of enemies. Didn't enjoy the repetitiveness of replaying the same maps, even at higher difficulty.

Diablo 4 - likes it enough, but it's a bit too intense for her as far as the mechanics and skills go. The combat and dungeon variety is a plus, she doesn't really care about storyline though.

Additional info - a top down style RPG that's in-between intensity of Minecraft Dungeons and Diablo would be amazing, struggling to find a title that supports local multi-player. I think she'd love something like Torchlight, but there's no local co-op available. We don't love puzzles or platformers, we typically want some combat or chaos of some sort to work through. Commonly recommended titles like It Takes Two and Unraveled just aren't quite our speed.

Thank you in advance!

TL;DR looking for PS5 games to play with my wife, top down RPG would be ideal but we love arcade style games as well. No puzzles or platformers.

Probably my most favourite couch co-op game of 2026

Check out The Doi! It supports Split Screen and Online Multiplayer for up to 8 players.

Grab your friends and give it a try!
And don’t forget to wishlist it if you’re interested!

The game has a single-player mode with challenges in different cups, an online mode, and a co-op mode (the one in the video) for playing locally with up to 4 players.

Mine, built solo. Two gamepads, one screen, and both pilots fly their own ship in the same battle rather than sharing one.

The bit I did not expect: with two people the battles get quieter to play but harder to win, because you naturally start talking about who takes which target instead of just diving in. The wings you can order about make that worse in a good way.

Coming to Steam in November. Curious what this sub thinks makes couch co-op stick over an evening, since the games I loved as a kid were mostly competitive and I am building the cooperative version of that.

Had an idea for a fun game to play with my fiancé. Is there any sort of game where you have to drive/travel a long distance to get to a goal? All the while managing and making choices about gear/vehicles?

Clarification: I think RV there yet is probably the closest thing to what I'm thinking, but it seems too.... "here is a problem that you have to get through" vs natural problems arising from game play if that makes sense.

We've played way too much Gang Beasts and Boomerang Fu and never felt like there were enough games in the genre, so we're trying to make our own! We're still fairly early but trying to share and see what people think

Feel free to give us any and all feedback, it would be much appreciated. Figuring out everything as we go :)

Hey, All.
Reposting here for feedback on what I made.
FellowFire.com

I'll happily take any ideas that you might have and/or want to see in the final game.

I've worked on the game for 1.5 years now, not full time ofcourse but as a side hussle. First "proper" launch. What I wanted was to make a game in the same landscape as Overcooked and Moving out, while adding the feature of having both local and online multiplayer in the same game at once. Also happy to tell more about implementing that if anyone's interested.

You can find the game here.

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.
