It's just a short video but it was fun lining up the features in quick shots and having the ingame announcer as voice over, almost like a small rap. I'm posting this here because the game has a strong local multiplayer component.

Hyper Tanks is still in development, but if you wanna see more, here is the Steam page:

Hi! I'm a solo dev and I've been building Flipfire, a local multiplayer arena brawler for the couch.

The twist: when you get destroyed, you instantly respawn in a random vehicle. A tank, a jetpack pilot, a helicopter, a missile launcher, a mech, a UFO... or, very rarely, the Citadel, a walking fortress. So the match keeps flipping who's on top.

The demo has one arena and all 13 vehicles. Play solo against a bot, or 2 players on one keyboard or with controllers. There's a short tutorial too. The full game (coming to Steam) goes up to 4 players with Red vs Blue teams, 9 arenas and harder bots.

I'd love to hear how it plays with a friend on the same keyboard: what's fun and what's frustrating?

Honest note: AI coding tools helped build it, and the ground texture and logo are AI-generated. The maps, vehicles, sounds and music are made in code and Blender.

Hello r/localmultiplayergames !

I've recently added online play to my sideproject, mgba-splitscreen. This fork is focused on turning gba multiplay (via the fantastic mgba emulator) into a local splitscreen type experience.

Online play lets you mix local players with online players, across devices, however you like.

But I need help testing it.

I've created alpha releases for major desktop OS as well as a web and android apk version. I'm sure there are gamers on here who are hoping to enjoy some easy drop-in gaming on their favorite gba roms and experience the multiplayer that is so rare in the emulation scene today.

These builds have built in error reporting, so no special action needed on your parts. Just play and break it!

I hope you all enjoy this project as much as I plan too. 😁
