Rebels in the sky is a P2P multiplayer game about crews of space pirates roaming the galaxy to play basketball against each other. It's basically a basketball managerial game with some pirate-y stuff. It's a P2P game with no central server, built on top of libp2p. Players interaction are limited to playing games against each other and trading pirates.

The game runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run it from your terminal.

You can try the game over ssh without installing: `ssh frittura.org -p 3788`

My server is not very powerful and there is a limit to the number of concurrent players, so if you like it I would appreciate it if you could install it (https://github.com/ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky?tab=readme-ov-f...) and run it locally :)

Here is a trailer (not of the last version, so some little things are different): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aaa02f04-06db-4da...

None of these work for me. Put it on YouTube or something.

My server got hug'd to dead, probably the ssh server won't work now either :(

Hopefully this one works: https://streamable.com/huxiwr

The graphics are way better than the description "terminal game" would suggest, I recommend putting some images in your README to better demonstrate the amount of effort you put into them (don't rely on having a video, it won't render for me).

I was surprised by the great graphics too. I agree that some screenshots would be useful.. I was expecting something totally different, than great pixel art :)
