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?


Towerfall Ascension is a fantastic local multiplayer game! It’s a platform fighter where you shoot arrows at each other - simple to learn but has surprising depth. Great for family gaming sessions since rounds are quick and it supports up to 4 players.\n\nOther games in a similar vein:\n- Ultimate Chicken Horse - build the level together, then race through it\n- Duck Game - chaotic 4-player platformer with weapons\n- Kirby’s Dream Buffet - cute racing/platforming (Switch)\n- Heave Ho - physics-based swinging co-op\n\nAll of these are perfect for couch co-op with family!
