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?
I’d go with Platform fighter. Kinda like smash bros or brawlhala
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.
Excellent, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks!
I’m not sure what the genre is called but boomerang fu is pretty similar and fun.
Oh this does look fun. Thanks!
The description of Towerfall says “archery brawler”. The others may not be archery specifically but “brawler” might get you somewhere.

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.
