Futon Fighters

Couch games for up to four players on one screen: Ippon, a one-hit platform duel, and Fourtress, a split-screen first-person fight around a fort.

State: On 12 October 2026, eight days after the first commit, both games play in one application on a Mac and a Steam Deck; a first Deck session with two players ran 17 matches without a crash. m

Known limits

Tested with two players at a time so far, none yet with four people in the room. m
Fourtress’s feel and frame rate with four players on the Deck are not yet measured. m
Personal builds only: no public build, no Windows version, the macOS app is not notarised. m
Ippon’s rounds are very short (median 5.8 to 8.1 seconds); whether that suits four players over many evenings is untested. i

12 Oct rename
The couch-game collection becomes Futon Fighters, with Ippon and Fourtress; a new icon. m
12 Oct correction
Two Steam Deck crashes were traced to the executable being replaced during play, not to the game, which corrects an earlier suspicion about material and interpolation switches. c
11 Oct measure
Measured against classic shooter maps, blocking the narrowest passage lengthened routes by only 4 to 6 percent in generated maps against a 51 percent median in the references, which led to a revised map generator. m
10 Oct measure
A first Steam Deck session with two players and bots ran 17 matches and 135 rounds in 49 minutes, with a median round of 5.8 to 8.1 seconds and no crash. m
07 Oct milestone
The duel and a first-person game now share one application and one set of menus, so the same players move from one to the other without picking seats again. m
07 Oct decision
After a first playtest, the first-person game switches to health points by default and keeps one-hit kills as an option, with sound, bot hearing and round endings added the same day. m
07 Oct rename
The collection is first named Irori and its first-person game Hitome, names that last five days. m
06 Oct decision
The one-hit duel is named Ippon, after the judo point that wins in a single stroke, over the drier Estoc. m
04 Oct milestone
First commit of a local duel prototype where one hit kills, built to test the core fight before any generated weapons. m
