Teeworlds

Teeworlds is a multiplayer 2D shooter in which players control small characters across side-scrolling arenas. Matches include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag, with up to 16 players.

Players fight with weapons such as guns, grenades, and a hammer, while jumping and using a grappling hook to move around the maps. The hook and double jump make movement part of both combat and traversal.

Players can customize their character’s appearance, play community-made modes and maps, or create maps with the built-in editor. The game is open source, and community-created content extends the available ways to play.

Players who enjoy Teeworlds often praise the grappling-hook movement and physics-driven combat, which they say reward practice and offer room to master. Reviews also describe it as fun with friends and value its custom maps and community-made modes. Some reviewers report that classic shooter servers can be difficult to find, and that the movement and skill demands can be challenging for newcomers.
