Warpzone
Warpzone connects players of independent games directly — through NAT hole-punching, with a relay when that fails — and adds rooms, private games, ranked ladders with seasons, leaderboards and a moderated mod archive. Games integrate a small library; the launcher shows everything in one place. You never need it to play.
Every game is free and open source. Downloads come straight from each project's GitHub releases.

Public rooms right now. Private games use a join code or an invite link and are never listed.
No open rooms right now. Host one from a game or the launcher.
No accounts with passwords, no e-mail, no chat — just play.
Download it here or install it with the launcher, which keeps it updated and shows what changed.
Browse open rooms by language, skill and style, or host a private one and share its 6-letter code or invite link.
Players connect peer to peer (IPv6 first, then IPv4 hole-punching). If that fails, the relay carries the traffic — encrypted end to end.
Optional ranked queues with quarterly seasons and leaderboards. Mods sync automatically when you join a modded room.
One small app for every Warpzone game: install and update games, browse rooms of all games without launching them, join with one click, manage mods. Linux, Windows and Steam Deck, and for Android with the games that run there.
Steam Deck: in Desktop Mode, download Install-Warpzone.desktop and open it — it installs the launcher and adds it to Steam with artwork, ready for Game Mode.
Everything here — server, library, launcher — is open source. Run your own instance for your own games with one container.
