What would be a good game(s) for Lemmy users to start a group and play? I get people like different things, but it should be FOSS or free and accessible to anyone on Lemmy.

In short, something fun, MULTIPLAYER , and approachable for all ages. Not AAA or fees, and needs to be casual.

Possible to form a Lemmy group and pick a few games to rotate.

Respond with creative ideas and suggestions.

If for some reason you think this is a terrible idea please express it with an explanation, so it can be remedied rather than dismissed.

Altitude would be fun to see reborn. Hit 4-5k players at its peak on Steam. Now pretty much dead apart from dedicated league play.

It's a 2D flight/arena game with a variety of game modes, aircraft to fly, weapons, perks, powerups etc. Very arcade.

✅ Fun
✅ Accessible (Win/Mac/Linux/Steam)
✅ All ages
✅ Casual (games last minutes, not hours)
✅ Not AAA
✅ Free
✅ Runs on potato

Only drawback according to the assignment:

❌ Not FOSS
