Apotris Splitscreen 4.2.0-splitscreen.2

Apotris is created by akouzoukos. All credit for the game goes to them. This is an unofficial fork of Apotris v4.2.0 that only adds local two-player split screen to the Linux PC build. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by akouzoukos.

Fixed in this release

• The AppImages now start on systems with only FUSE 3 (Arch-based distros such as Omarchy, and newer Ubuntu by default). Release 1 used AppImageKit's old runtime, which needs libfuse.so.2 and failed with dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2. They are now built with AppImage's static type2-runtime. The game itself is unchanged.

What this fork adds

• Play > Multi Battle > Split Screen: a second player appears on the right half of the same window, already in the battle lobby. Ready up, battle, results and Play Again all work offline. Leaving the battle for a menu closes the second player.
• --split starts straight in a split screen battle.
• The first two controllers are player 1 and player 2. The keyboard is player 1's; F8 hands it to player 2.
• Player 2 has its own save (~/.local/share/Apotris-p2/) and is named player2. Its rumble goes to its own pad.
• Each half zooms in while playing (5x at 1080p), and split screen is always fullscreen.
• In split screen, MATCH FOUND starts on Accept.
• Single player takes input from every controller, not only the first.

Needs	glibc 2.29+ (Ubuntu 20.04 or later)	glibc 2.34+ (Ubuntu 22.04 or later)

• AppImage: make it executable and run it. It needs FUSE (2 or 3); without FUSE at all, run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
• Tarball: extract it and run ./Apotris, keeping it next to assets/.

Both architectures need libcurl 4. They are built by this repo's Linux release workflow in upstream's own builder images (apotris-linux, and apotris-arm64 on an ARM runner), with SDL linked in. Each file has a .sha256 alongside it.

Known limits

• Linux only. Online play is not available while split.
• Tested on Xvfb with simulated controllers; play with two real controllers is not confirmed yet. The ARM64 build is compiled and packaged in CI but has not been run on ARM hardware yet.

Apotris Splitscreen 4.2.0-splitscreen.1

Use v4.2.0-splitscreen.2 instead. The AppImages in this release need FUSE 2 (libfuse.so.2) and fail to start on systems with only FUSE 3. The game is the same in both releases.
