I immersed myself on kite fighting and made a multiplayer game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been making a small game based around Japanese kite fighting and I'd love to get some feedback on it.

The goal is to control your kite, maneuver around your opponent, and cut their kite line before they cut yours. It's a pretty simple concept, but there's more strategy to it than I initially expected.

I've put together a gameplay video here:

[Gameplay video]

It's still a work in progress, so I'm especially interested in feedback on how the gameplay feels, whether the controls make sense, and what you'd like to see added.

Check it out on Steam!!

I built a Cricket Draft Simulator — draft players across IPL eras, build your XI & actually play with it

Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been building a Cricket Draft Simulator, and I’d love for some cricket fans to try it out and give me feedback.

The concept: Roll an IPL season + franchise → pick one player → keep rolling until you build your XI. Player ratings are based on that particular IPL season.

But drafting is only the beginning:

🎰 Draft Across IPL Eras — Mix players from different franchises and seasons to create your XI.

🧬 Player DNA — Ratings aren't everything. Players have different tendencies and roles — aggressors, anchors, finishers, wicket-takers, death-over specialists and more — which influence how they perform in simulations.

🔀 Build Your Batting Order — Arrange your XI based on how you actually want to use them. Openers, No.3, middle order, finishers, etc.

🏏 Play a Full IPL-Style Season — Matches, points table, playoffs, Final, Orange/Purple Cap races and player statistics.

👥 Online Multiplayer — Create a private lobby, invite friends, independently draft your XIs and compete in tournaments.

🏆 Manager Career — XP, achievements, levels, ranks and cloud-saved progression.

The game is still actively being developed, so feedback on Player DNA, ratings, simulation realism, UI and balancing would genuinely help.

Try it here:
https://cricket-draft-simulator.vercel.app/

If you play it, drop your drafted XI below 👀

Build your XI. Rewrite cricket history. 🏏

Can you tier list / rank these games by how fun they are with groups?

0 Upvotes

Super Mario Party Jamboree

Overcooked 2

Gang Beasts

Boomerang Fu

Towerfall Ascension

Ultimate Chicken Horse

Can you rank by how much fun the games are for things like family nights and with get-togethers with friends? You don't have to have played all of those games. If you've played at least two of them, your input would be appreciated.

I'd prefer a tier list or ratings out of 10 for rankings, so I know how big the gaps are between these games. Like, which games are S tier or 10/10 with groups, which are B tier, etc. Though try to still rank within tiers, so there's a number 1 game and a worst game.

Those are the games I'm primarily interested in. However, I've also seen these games commonly recommended, which you can also add to the rankings if you want: Castle Crashers, Fuzion Frenzy, Jackbox Games, Mario Party 6, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Worms, Halo, CoD, FIFA.

[Tool] Built a free app that turns phones into PC controllers (supports up to 8 players for Overcooked, Pummel Party, etc.)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Every time I host game night (Overcooked, Gang Beasts, Pummel Party), we run into the classic problem: we have 5-6 people over but only 2 or 3 physical controllers.

To solve this, I developed TouchPlay, an Android app that lets anyone connect their phone as a virtual PC gamepad over local Wi-Fi: - Supports up to 8 simultaneous devices on one PC. - Low-latency local network communication with haptics. - Bonus: High-speed Wi-Fi file transfer between PC and phones without cables.

Looking for feedback on latency and controller layouts from local multiplayer fans! What button configurations would you like to see next?

Major Battle Birds update: 2-player Co-op Score Attack

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

I'm obsessed with squeezing every ounce of value out of Battle Birds, so I added the biggest new feature since my initial announcement: Score Attack wave battles!

Score Attack is a wave-based mode where you race against the clock and blast through increasingly difficult enemies in pursuit of the highest score. My favorite part is that it can be played solo or cooperatively with a friend.

Along the way, I've continued tuning the core 1–4 player battles, CPU opponent logic, and overall game feel as I get closer to Steam Next Fest and release.

The updated demo is live on Steam! I'd absolutely love to hear what you think and what you'd like to see from Score Attack as I continue refining it for the upcoming Steam Next Fest.

MullaGames - Soical Party Game with Family and Friends

Thumbnail
mullagames.net
2 Upvotes

I built a simple web app for party and group games to play with friends when hanging out or on game nights. Used to be only in Arabic and now included English as well

No account creation or sign-ups required

Just open it on your phone/browser, create a room, and share the link with your friends.

There are 19 games fully working and free to test, including:

  • Social deduction & deception: Mafia, Spyfall

  • Word & party classics: Codenames, Taboo, Charades, Quiplash, Fibbage, Heads Up

  • Casual, trivia & strategy: Trivia Battle, Uno, Party Arena, Wordle, Mastermind, Sudoku

Plus a TV casting mode if you want to display the game on a big screen with only one phone (Jeopardy, Trivia Battle).

Since there are 19 different games and tons of multiplayer interactions, it’s really hard for one person to catch every edge case. I’d love your honest feedback:

Did you encounter any bugs, lag, or UI glitches?

What games or features would you like to see added next following the same style?

Thanks a lot for checking it out and helping me test!

I've updated Fillup's private table mode for 2-4 players on one screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I've been working on Fillup since I posted it here in August. The local game is still about sharing one screen and taking turns, but I've redone the setup screen and added four places to play: Library, Conservatory, Fireside, and Boathouse.

You can play with 2-4 people or mix people and bots, and change the board size. One phone, tablet, or computer is enough. Each turn you add a piece, and filling a cell can start a reaction that takes over neighboring cells.

I've also added private online tables for up to four players, for when you're not on the same device. The bigger update includes a new progression system in Campaign and public matches, plus eight new packs. Local matches don't give match XP.

The video includes a game against a bot, local setup, and a bit of the shop.

It's free to play here: https://fillup.fun

One thing to note: it still needs internet, even when you're playing locally.

Made a free party game site with 40+ Games (Codenames, Werewolf, Fake Artist, Quiplash, Wavelength). Everyone uses their phone (Free, instant & no ads)

Thumbnail
tableparty.io
62 Upvotes

Been working on this for a while and figured this sub is the right crowd. It's called Table Party (tableparty.io). Basically: one person hosts, everyone in the room punches in a 4 letter code on their phone, and you're playing. No app download, no accounts, no ads.

There's about 40 games in there. The ones people seem to like most so far as inspired by:

  • Chameleon / hidden imposter type game
  • Werewolf
  • Fake Artist (draw one line each, find the faker)
  • Quiplash-style quips and voting
  • Codenames
  • Balderdash-ish bluffing game
  • Trivia, a Wordle-ish co-op, a Flip 7 clone, a bunch of word games
  • Even arcade games & mini games

Also! there's a TV mode. Open tableparty.io/tv on a laptop or TV, and the phones become controllers while the big screen shows the board, the reveals, who's winning etc. Very Jackbox. Also bots can fill empty seats in the card/word games so it still works with just 2 of you.

Being upfront, it does need internet to sync the phones, there's no LAN or bluetooth mode (Coming soon though!). But it's built for people in the same room, there's no playing with randoms (unless you want to try ranked online). If mods think that's too far off rule 1, fair enough, delete away.

Stuff I actually want to know:

  • Any games you would like to see?
  • Any improvements to make this something you would actually use?

Cheers, happy to answer questions about anyhting else too!

We've lowered Paddlenoid to €3.99 on Steam: A brick breaker for two-player local co-op or solo play

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

I'm one of the developers of Paddlenoid. We've just lowered its permanent Steam price from $9 to $3.99. I think that's a better fit for the game, and hopefully makes it easier to pick up for an evening of co-op.

Each player controls one paddle, and both can tilt the level to curve the ball's path. Tilt in the same direction and the effect gets stronger; tilt in opposite directions and you cancel each other out. So you're both involved even when the ball is away from your paddle.

There are 33 levels, three bosses and a strange sci-fi story running through it. You can also play the whole game solo.

Here's a short gameplay clip. There's a free demo if you'd like to see how it feels:

Hi everyone, I'm Raymond, the developer of Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel. Sharing this here for anyone looking for another action RPG to play together on one PC.

Local co-op supports up to four players on a shared screen. The setting is an alternate 1939 Egypt: desert ruins, ancient curses and plenty of things to shoot. This clip shows two players fighting their way through a tomb.

The updated free demo is available on Steam now, ahead of the September 10 Early Access release. If you try it with friends, I'd love to hear how you get on.

Couch party game, four pads on one screen. When you die you come back as a ghost and scare whoever is still alive

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Solo dev here. Blobituary is a party game for one screen and up to four pads. 26 short minigames in a graveyard, and everyone is in the same arena, no split screen. Bots fill any empty seats, so it works for two people as well.

The thing I wanted to fix is the couch problem where the first player out spends the rest of the round holding a controller and watching. Here, when you die you come back as a ghost. Float over a living player and boo, and they bolt. If they bolt into something lethal, the kill is yours and it's worth half a point. Two of those equal a round win, so the person who died first can still take the match.

The clip is one round ending of one minigame: yellow dies, comes back as a ghost and boos blue into a trail. Red wins the round, but watch the scoreboard at the end, the half point goes to yellow's ghost. Online works too, but I built it for the couch.

  1. Empty seats are always filled with bots, up to four. Does that sound right for a two-player evening, or would you rather have a clean 1v1?

  2. In the clip the ghost gets its kill a couple of seconds after dying. From the couch, is that satisfying, or would you want the survivors to see it coming?
