Teeworlds is a free, retro cartoon-styled 2D multiplayer shooter. Fight other players in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flag, using a varied arsenal (grenade launcher, laser rifle, hammer...) and a grappling hook enabling highly dynamic movement.

The game supports multiplayer via dedicated servers, keeping a persistent server accessible at any time, even while players are offline.

Teeworlds offers a dedicated server available on both Windows and Linux.

DDraceNetwork (DDNet) is also supported as its own game mode: a very popular community mod (solo or team racing through trap-filled maps, with progress and record saving). Selecting it as the game mode automatically downloads and launches the dedicated DDNet server on next start.

Deploying a server

Prerequisites : Have a Windows or Linux host with the Drooft Game Hosting service installed.
If you haven't already, please follow the installation guide for the Drooft Game Hosting service.

Steps:

1 Go to the page adding game server and fill in: host, game (Teeworlds), server name, game port (8303 by default) and access type (password, friends, public).
2 Wait a few minutes for the server to switch to the "Game server turned off" , then configure the game mode, players, maps, match rules and moderation at the bottom of the page.
3 Start your server (button "to start up") : all that's left is to play and invite your friends !

Check that the server port is open on the internet (UDP and TCP). You can test whether your ports are open directly from your game server's page, using the icon .
