The Ultimate Cooperative Platformer
DDraceNetwork (DDNet) is an actively maintained, enhanced version of DDRace, a modification of the classic game Teeworlds. It transforms a simple 2D shooter into a highly technical, physics-based cooperative platformer. Players must use grappling hooks, weapons, and perfectly timed jumps to navigate incredibly complex obstacle courses.
The catch? You can't do it alone. The core of DDNet is extreme cooperation. You have to hook, drag, and hammer your teammates over gaps, through narrow passages, and past deadly traps. Hosting a private server allows you and your friends to tackle specific maps without interference from random players, practice difficult sections, and track your own speedrun times.
Grappling Hook Mechanics
The defining feature of DDNet. Master the physics of swinging, pulling teammates, and anchoring to walls. Server tickrate is critical for these mechanics to feel smooth.
Thousands of Custom Maps
The community has created endless content. Categorized from Novice to Brutal, you can load any map onto your server and challenge your clan.
Team Dynamics (Dummies)
Play with up to 64 players, or use the "dummy" feature to control a secondary character for solo puzzle solving on your private instance.

DDNet Hosting FAQ
Got questions about running your own Teeworlds mod server? We've got answers.
How do I add custom maps?
It's incredibly easy. You just upload the `.map` files to the maps folder using the provided FTP access or the web control panel, then add the map name to your rotation list.
Is this good for private clan runs?
Yes! Renting a private server is the best way to practice maps with your clan without random players interfering or voting to change the map mid-run.
Does this support standard Teeworlds clients?
While vanilla Teeworlds clients can connect, players should use the official DDraceNetwork client to properly render all custom tiles, entities, and use the advanced HUD features.
What tickrate do the servers run at?
Our hardware easily supports the high tickrates required for precise DDNet physics. You can adjust the server tickrate in your config file to match competitive standards.
