Couch Party Game Night

Couch Party Game Night is a local split-screen multiplayer game for up to four players. It brings together arcade-style shooting and randomly generated maps for couch play, with modes ranging from free-for-all matches to team battles and cooperative survival.

Shooting and controls

The game uses gun mechanics, with no hitscan, and aims for 1:1 button-to-action gameplay without animation delays. Hitboxes and collisions are accurate, with no auto-aim. Performance-based handicap options offer extra challenge for experts and more room for less experienced players. You can hold run buttons to turn twice as fast, and use the Counter Snap button to turn 180 degrees. A skill rating system takes timing, distance and accuracy into account.

Matches have no loading screens or cutscenes. The game also includes a split-screen audio system and randomly generated maps, so players do not gain an advantage from memorizing layouts. Its 1-hit-kill modes award points based on the weapons used.
