Stellar Squeezebox
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Stellar Squeeze box is an 80's style Arcade battle royale in space. Stay inside the box, or the arena sides will affect you (with death), collect power ups, and bring despair to your enemies!
Note: If you'd like to try the game out by yourself, run two instances of the application bound to 127.0.0.1
Controls:
- A / D to Turn
- W to Thrust
- Space to Fire
Powerups:
- Rapid Fire - Fire 10 shots a second, but you can no longer move
- Scattergun - Fire Many shots at once, but in random directions!
Stellar Squeezebox supports full online multiplayer with matchmaking! Battle with up to 6 players!
Technical Notes:
If you wish to host, you'll need to port forward 4761. If you select a server from the matchmaking panel and can't connect; it's likely the host hasn't properly forwarded their ports.
If your ship is moving or spinning on it's own try disconnecting any gamepads, deadzones aren't working correctly over the network yet sadly.
Naturally there are some bugs; typically everything can be resolved by waiting for the next round / flying your ship out of bounds for a few seconds
