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?

    Not entirely sure on the genre name, but try checking out Stick Fight: The Game. It’s a similarly great time with fast rounds and lots of variety.

    Couch competitive multiplayer? Because it’s not a fighting game, and I’d say it has more in common with Speedrunners than it does Smash Bros. And Samurai Gunn is a good one of those.

    The description of Towerfall says “archery brawler”. The others may not be archery specifically but “brawler” might get you somewhere.
