TIC-80 netplay (peer-to-peer rollback multiplayer)
Source code ↗How it works
- Choose a game from the catalog — the live library from
tic80.com, browsed right here. - Pick the player count (2–4). A random room code is generated for you.
- Invite players by sending the link below — it carries the game and the room code, so they don't have to pick anything.
- Click Start. You'll see “connecting…”, then play begins once everyone joins. Click the game screen to give it the keyboard.
No accounts and no central server — peers meet over public relays and connect directly. If someone behind a strict firewall/NAT can't connect, add a TURN relay under Connection settings below.

Browsing the full tic80.com catalog. Any cart loads, but rollback netplay needs a deterministic game — some single-player or randomness-heavy carts may desync. Two-player titles work best.
Connection settings (STUN / TURN)
Most peers connect fine on the default public STUN server. A minority behind strict NATs/firewalls need a TURN relay to connect — if a player can't join, fill in a TURN server below.
