Martin JørgensenTeeworlds – a free, fast-paced 2D online shooter with style and charm.
Teeworlds is a free, cartoon-inspired 2D multiplayer game where you battle other players in classic modes like Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. It’s easy to pick up, fast, and fun—and it’s simple to play online with friends. The colorful visuals and wacky weapons deliver a lighthearted, hectic experience reminiscent of a blend of Worms and Quake Arena.
Action-packed 2D multiplayer with Danish language
The game is available in Danish, making it extra accessible for younger players or those less tech-savvy. You control a small round character—called a Tee—and use both firearms and a grappling hook to move around the maps. This creates a pace and freedom of movement that makes the gameplay both deep and fast-paced.
Multiplayer focus – no single-player
Teeworlds is strictly multiplayer, so an internet connection is required. You can jump into public servers or host your own to play with friends. In our testing, some servers were a bit empty—but you can fix that by inviting friends or joining international servers.
Platforms and technical requirements
Teeworlds is lightweight—it runs smoothly on almost any computer, including older machines. It requires no external driver installation and takes up very little space.
Top five tips for Teeworlds (extended)
1. Use the hook effectively – movement is the key to survival
In Teeworlds, the grappling hook isn’t just a gimmick—it’s central to both offense and defense. Use it to swing out of danger, traverse the map quickly, and even avoid falling into pits.
🔧 Tip: Combine the hook with jumps and quick direction changes. Practice makes perfect, and once you master it, you can practically “fly” through the maps and dominate opponents.
2. Switch weapons regularly – adapt to the situation
You start with a default weapon, but you’ll find faster, more powerful options on the maps, such as the rocket launcher, shotgun, and laser. Each weapon has its strengths—and timing is crucial.
🔧 Tip: Use the rocket launcher for area denial in tight corridors, the shotgun to ambush enemies up close, and the laser for precision shots or knockback. Know your weapons—and switch quickly with your mouse or keyboard for maximum efficiency.
3. Play Capture the Flag as a team – communication wins games
CTF is the most strategic game mode in Teeworlds. It’s not just about shooting—it’s about teamwork, coordination, and timing. Some should attack, others defend, and others escort the flag carrier home.
🔧 Tip: Use voice chat or set a strategy before the match. Divide roles—a “defender,” a “runner,” and a “support” work wonders. Use the hook to extract the flag quickly and shoot down opponents trying to block your route.
4. Host your own server – play with friends without waiting
If public servers are empty, you can create your own in just a few clicks. No technical expertise required, and you can choose the map, game mode, and rules yourself. Perfect for LAN or private matches with friends.
🔧 Tip: Enable a password if you want to keep it private, and pick maps with varied terrain to get the most from the game’s mobility mechanics. Consider experimenting with modifications (mods) if you want to tailor the experience.
5. Customize your Tee – stand out and show personality on the map
You can customize your Tee with your own colors, expressions, and outfits. It won’t make you stronger—but it makes you easier to recognize for teammates (and enemies!). It’s a small touch that makes the game more fun and personal.
🔧 Tip: Use high-contrast colors so you don’t blend into the background, and choose a look that reflects your playstyle—e.g., aggressive, goofy, or classic.
