“A frantic 1- or 2-player couch co-op action space shooter. Explore a colorful galaxy in a massive neon battleship that you control together by manning turrets, lasers, shields and thrusters. Only through teamwork can you triumph over the evil forces of Anti-Love, rescue kidnapped space-bunnies, and avoid a vacuumy demise. Deep space is a dangerous place, but you don’t have to face it alone!
“2 players (or 1 player plus a loyal AI space-pet) need to work together to man the different battle stations, dashing back and forth between weapons, shields and engines. Both players fill important roles at all times, and nobody gets left behind.”
Out for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One

“A multiplayer space sim involving hundreds of players ( per server, without instancing ) split across three competing corporations of the Starfold Confederacy fighting for control of a procedurally generated, true to scale solar system filled with dozens of planets, moons, asteroid belts, and other celestial phenomenon, all having different environments that can affect the gameplay ( wind, storms, lightning in a gas giant, volcanoes, tornadoes.. ).
“Seamless planetary transitions will bring combat from deep space to the surface of alien worlds. The primary goal will be to destroy your enemies and their infrastructure through orbital bombardment from capital ships and/or an array of smaller spacecraft including bombers, interceptors, and corvettes.”

“A multiplayer game designed for up to 8 players to play together and break each other apart. Everyone is a skeleton, but no one is particularly attached to their limbs. Break your friends legs off and take them for yourself.”
Developed by a group of students in Australia, you can download The Skeleton War from the indieDB link here. There are currently two modes; Bone Collector, which rewards points for collecting the limbs of other players, and Dye Another Day, where you have to collect limbs that match the colour of your torso.
It’s meant to be played across a LAN, but you can also host a game with your friends online. Here is the guide to set it up.
