I’m specifically asking about the PvP part of the game.

This kind of game is my kid’s favorite; we frequently play Towerfall, Duck Game, Rounds, and Hyper Contender (from UFO50).

It’s so hard to find other games in this genre, because I don’t know the standardized name, if it even has one, so I figured I’d ask here. What do you call low TTK platformer PvP shooting games? Do you have a favorite?

    I used to be part of a YouTube channel that specialized in local multiplayer games, so I’m about to unload a healthy list on you.

    I’ll start with Speed Runners. It might be if interest. Little different, but same local multi player competitive vibe. I’m stoked for the upcoming sequel.

    See also (in no apparent order):
    Samurai Gunn (1 and 2).
    Nidhogg (1 and 2).
    Roof Rage.
    Lethal League {1 and 2).
    Gang Beasts
    Stick Fight; The Game.
    Starwhal.
    Sportsfriends
    Stikbold!
    Rockets Rockets Rockets
    Super Blood Hockey
    Porcunipine.

    All these games are super old, so they should be cheap and mostly available on other platforms than steam. Not all of them are a solid match for Towerfall, but they are all super fun to play from the same couch.
