''Homestrife 4/13: 2x Incipisphere Combo (Fate of Two Sessions),'' often shortened to ''Homestrife'', was an in-development FreeFloorFighting game with characters from the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' as its playable roster. It was started by MSPA forumer Callan "frozenMeatpopsicle" Bencich, who is the project director, art director, and lead animator. Fellow forumer Jonathan "[=Darlos9D=]" Royal programmed the entire SDL-based game engine, along with a character creator.

According to Bencich, the gameplay would have been "mainly based on Super Smash Bros, but we'll be injecting it with mechanics from more traditional fighters, like Street Fighter, Marvel VS Capcom and Blazblue, to attempt to make a deep, technical fighter that even high level players can appreciate and enjoy." Controls are based around two attack buttons (light and heavy), a jump and a block button, and directional input from an analog stick/arrow keys. Life and Special meters are assigned to each player.

Pre-Alpha 2.6 includes John with all light moves, one heavy move, and one projectile, local two-player, a basic menu, some hilarious voice clips, and most importantly full playability and matches. It can be downloaded [[http://homestrifegame.com/media/ here]], along with the older tech demos and a tool for making your own palettes. The full version will include a roster of twenty characters (the 4 original kids, the 12 original trolls, Doc Scratch, Bec Noir, Creator/AndrewHussie himself, and a super-secret character) as well as online multiplayer and several other gameplay modes. The first official beta release (which is the dev team's current goal) will include John, Rose, Karkat, and Vriska, along with stages based on LOWAS, Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff, and Equius Zahhak's robot cage.

The main website can be found [[http://glacial-games.com/games/homestrife-4-13/ here]], which contains links to the development thread, the recruitment blog, the game itself, and other helpful pages.
In 2014 the game's development went on indefinite hiatus and in 2019 the created assets were made open source, almost certainly confirming the project dead in the water.

!! ''Homestrife'' provides examples of:
* BouncingBattler: John's planned Pogohammer Bounce special will let him be one.
* ClusterFBomb: When John launches something out of his Sylladex. "Oh shit!" "Shit!" "OH SHIT!"
* DreamMatchGame: Not only will the final release include 20 characters from all across the canon, planned DLC releases along with a pubilc release of the character editor could make this as dreamy as ''{{VideoGame/MUGEN}}''.
* FightingClown: Gamzee Makara will almost certainly end up being one of these.
* FreeFloorFighting: Most stages are like this, although the game will include stages and mechanics from FixedFloorFighting games as well.
* JokeCharacter: Hussie will possibly be one, or at least the closest to it.
* LauncherMove: Each character with a viable aerial game will have one of these. Current examples are John's Up Light attack.
* LifeMeter: Each character will have one, being the first major departure from Smash-style gameplay. Each character will also have a ManaMeter with mechanics exlcusive to each of them. For example, John's Prankster's Gambit meter will fill significantly when he uses a Prank special move of some sort.
* MirrorMatch: This is all the second tech demo is capable of. The final release will have this too, although each character will have plenty of PaletteSwap options to make it easier to tell the players apart.
* RecoveryAttack: John's Oven Cannon special.
* ShoutOut: Besides canon palettes for different outfits, each character will also have palette swaps that make them look like characters from other media. John has outfits that make him look like [[VideoGame/GhostTrick Sissel,]] [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker,]] and a member of the Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}.
* StageFatality: Some stages (like Robot Cage) have none, but some (the Sweet Bro/Hella Jeff stage) will have many.
* SuddenlyVoiced: Although the source material contains no voice acting, Homestrife will have voice clips implemented for all characters.
* SuperArmor: Many characters will have this, especially tankier ones like John and Equius.
* SummonMagic: One of many considered playstyles for Tavros.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The title might have clued you in.
