A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Having a party? How about letting EVERYONE PLAY! Use up to 4 USB controllers OR break out your smartphone, connect it to the same network as your computer then open its browser to happyfuntimes.net and you're in!

This is mostly a proof of concept / demo for happyfuntimes, a system for creating 2 to 100+ player games. A free open source library for HTML or Unity. There are way more interesting ideas for super local multiplayer games.

Please make some cool games!

I can only get 4 wired xbox360 controllers to work. How to make more than 4 usb 360 controllers to work in game?

Sorry, I'm using Electron which is based on Chrome and Chrome only currently supports 4 USB controllers :( Hopefully they'll fix it soon and I can post a new version. Until then if you don't want to use smartphones as controllers you can go to https://greggman.github.io/hft-boomboom/ in Firefox and it should support more than 4 USB controllers.
