Hey Pilots!
We took all your feedback from the last playtest and spent the last few months making the game feel much better - tighter controls, smoother gameplay, and improved stability.
Now it’s time to put it back in your hands and see how it flies!
What’s New:
New Game Mode: Battle Mode (3 takedowns to win on 2 new maps)
PS4 & PS5 controller support
Mouse control scheme
Photo Mode
Improved onboarding & tutorial
Better controller-friendly UI
Polished maps (better navigation, fixed stuck spots)
Bot difficulty scaling
In-match Player List
Multiplayer update: Local multiplayer and online multiplayer are already implemented and working. We’ve also simplified matchmaking with a new party system - we’re still working on it and pushing hard to include it in this build.
We’re also hard at work on the highly requested Couch vs Couch online (splitscreen vs splitscreen). Both features are still in progress and we’re not 100% sure they’ll make it into this playtest build, but we’re doing our best. Keep your fingers crossed! 🤞
In this playtest you can try:
3 game modes
6 planes
10 maps
Local splitscreen
Online multiplayer
This is still a work-in-progress build, so you might run into some bugs and rough edges. That’s exactly why we need your honest feedback!
Want to join the playtest? Go to the Couch Planes Steam page and click “Request Access”.
See you in the skies April 16–21!
Who’s excited to test it?
