I stumbled upon Goat Attack today, which is a nice GPLv3 multiplayer shooter which reminds Teeworlds a lot, but is only played with the keyboard (while Teeworlds is keyboard + mouse).



Source repo: https://github.com/goatattack/goatattack

It builds and runs well, and is quite funny. The existing servers seem more or less empty, but I've played DeathMatch and Capture the Flag with some buddies, it's fun

Upstream doesn't seem that active lately, but I've opened a good number of issues (and a couple pull requests) to improve the packaging, let's see what comes out of it. My main concern is the lack of explicit licensing information for the data (see this issue), I fear that some of the music tracks might be nonfree - will see what upstream answers.

Deleted.

Nope.

Looks great! I downloaded the Mac OS version. But I currently can't join any of the online servers because of a "version mismatch" (version 0.44 wasn't released on Windows and Mac yet). I tried to join my own game on the same computer, as you could do with XEvil, but it said "address already in use"... I need an opponent with version 0.43 or a second computer :-)

I imagine the Mac OS version shouldn't be too hard to build from sources?
