Couch Party Game Night

The developer has been working hard on this game to rekindle the good times people shared playing split screen with their friends and family. Since it was $1 at the time and I could play locally with my friends, I was curious and bought this game. It was bugged out at first, but the developer worked hard to fix those bugs and added content like new maps, guns, options, visual effects, and game modes. The game has been improved in many ways since day one, and if the developer continues to add content like he has, then this game has lots of potential to grow and become a great couch party game to play with friends. This game requires other people to play with and an interest for seeing smaller games grow, but if you have both, then I personally recommend buying this game and supporting the developer while seeing all of the new features that are added with each update. The game might not seem to have a lot right now, but with enough support and feedback the developer can tend to the game and improve this experience one update at a time.

The first and most crucial point of [b]Couch Party Game Night[/b] is that it's a game that is being independently developed on the side. The second and other crucial point is that it's geared towards split-screen multiplayer, which sadly, almost seems like a distant past-time activity nowadays. If you were to approach this game with these two things in mind, then you're more likely to get some enjoyment out of it. The game supports up to four players, all on one screen; thus, external controllers are almost a must, but workarounds can be made for mouse or keyboard players. An older controller such as a jury-rigged PS3 one worked, eventually. You choose the amount of players, the map, and a few adjustments of the in-game options. There's a small amount of different weapons, ranging from a few replicas of real guns to laser tag pistols, and more. Each one basically has the same purpose, and besides its rate-of-fire and visual or audio representation, they will all do the same damage. There's also an option to manually aim and zoom for each one, too. The screens, split into two or three or four ways, is cut up just right. It's a bit discouraging that each player spawns in the same sp…

The description claims game works with a controller. But my PS5 controller doesn't work out of the box. You need to tinker with something, adjust something somewhere. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it.

I never play shooters but this game really not about shooting. It's more about split screen fun with some friends and for that it's perfect. No other couch games come close! Many options to play the way you want and even me who not an expert can play :)

This "game" claims to have mechanics years ahead of AAA titles, yet provides no such thing. I get that it's a single developer, and it's dirt cheap, but this has been in early access for over 10 YEARS and is still barely a shell of a game. The level design is mediocre and stale, the player and weapon animations are non-existent, the so-called "mechanics" are lackluster, and there isn't really anything worth coming back to once you've messed around with it. There is absolutely nothing that this game offers to make it worth purchasing, even at its low price. Edit: Apparently, Dan believes that I was a dev for his work, when I was only helping with very minor things that he ended up not even using (wasting everyone's time), and at no cost. In no way was I ever a former developer for this project. I have no problem with him not using anything I helped with, as I would not want my reputation tied to this trash anyway. Dan, if this is what you have to show after 10 years, just release it for free; it's not even worth a dollar. My points still stand true, regardless if you think this is a "revenge" review. If you treated people better in your past instead of shoving ♥♥♥♥♥♥ political view…

Most responsive FPS controls ever. Wildly different experience each round. Lots of modes, randomly generated maps, variety of weapons and settings. I can see why the haters are so envious. Insane for a one-man indie.
