Have you ever played local multiplayer with more than 8 players?

So phones as a controller and the PC as the game platform? Does that even work?
Yes it does. Although phones don't seem to be great controllers at a first glance, they really have their (big) advantages. The biggest one is that everybody has a phone - that means everybody has a controller when playing Crowded. No more waiting for controllers or fighting about who's next.

The games of the collection are simple, fast paced, but nonthelesss challenging. They are inspired by classic game concepts: Play games like Pong, Astroids, Tanks, Super Cobra and many more in a new for any number of players suitable version.

I'm trying to get the game collection on Steam. There are no words for my gratefullness if you support the project in any kind of way: Steamcommunity.com
For all those of you who still struggle with the concept, here's the intro screen of the game collection - maybe it can make some things clear ;)
Thanks for reading and have a nice day ;)
