The game is called Shoot Your Friends. It’s a death match couch game for 2-4 players who share a screen and pilot tanks around an arena.
Please be aware that it is somewhat niche, it’s only compatible with controllers and local multiplayer. But if you ever get the gang over for game night it can be a fun way to spend the evening.
I don’t use a controller, but I bought two copies for friends that do! Keep going, make more games, add features! (Like maybe keyboard controls for us dinosaurs.)

Haha, I’ve considered it. I’d really like to at least be able to buy pizza for the gang who helped make the game.

Looks like fun, I’ll play it with my kids!
Done. Will you now tell me what it’s called?
I too, played “Combat” on Atari.
Steam Deck support?
I’m afraid not, this came out well before the deck and I can’t afford one to test on.
I’m not sure that it’s a good target for the deck anyway where it’s a splitscreen game.
It most likely works, steamdeck can be plugged into a monitor. I’ll check it out later (:

I believe in you!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
Keyboard support is definitely a must for our other games. I’m becoming more aware of the importance of accessibility.
