Tribal Trouble: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Tribal Trouble is the original, abandoned Oddlabs source release from 2014, whose bundled multiplayer server is no longer available; the readme states Oddlabs offers no support or further updates. Tribal Trouble Resurrected is a community fork built with the original developers' blessing that restores online play, supports up to 12 players (double the original) on a new, larger map size, adds single-player practice against AI, a spectator mode, and accessibility options, and remains under active development including a Steam release.
