The Martin fighting game: what Martin: No Filter Fighters is and where it lives

What the Martin fighting game is

Martin: No Filter Fighters is a 2D fighting game made by a solo indie developer working under the name TDHampton Productions, and published on itch.io by the account Trey2k23 [1] [3]. It is based on the 1990s sitcom Martin. The page calls it an unofficial, fan-made game and carries a disclaimer: a free, non-commercial fan tribute; Martin and its characters belong to their respective owners; not affiliated with or endorsed by the show's creators, cast or networks [1].

That wording matters for anyone searching for a "Martin fighting game": there is no licensed or official one that we could find. This is a fan project. Games like this exist at the pleasure of the rights holders, and a project like this can be changed or taken down at any time, so check the author's page for its current status.

The first devlog entry is dated 13 October 2026, and the game has been updated several times since, which fits the fast pace of a viral fan project [2].

Roster, stages and modes

The itch.io page lists 11 fighters: Martin, Gina, Pam, Cole, Tommy, Sheneneh, Varnell Hill, Dragonfly Jones, Jerome, Bruh-Man and Bob from Marketing [1]. The later two were added in versions 12.9 and 13.2, announced on 14 and 16 October 2026 [2]. There are nine stages, each with its own theme music, including Martin's Apartment, Club GTD, Sheneneh's Salon and Nipsey's [1].

Each player picks a fighter and a sidekick, and every character can appear only once per match [1]. Signature supers are named after jokes from the show, and the game has "stage breaks" that smash an opponent through the wall, ceiling or floor into another stage [1]. Version 13.2 added a "Next Level" mechanic that sends opponents through the ceiling or floor to the floor above or below [1] [2].

Modes are Story, Arcade, Versus, Training, CPU Showcase and Online Versus, where you play a friend with a room code [1]. Start with Training if you have never played a fighting game; one independent play page recommends the same [3].

Controls and devices

The itch.io page gives these default controls, which can be remapped in Settings [1].

Controllers are supported: press any button once so the game detects it. On phones and tablets, on-screen touch controls appear automatically and the page advises holding the phone sideways [1]. The page lists keyboard, gamepad and touchscreen as inputs and the platform as HTML5, meaning it plays in a browser [1]. Escape or Start pauses the game [1].

Where to play it, and what to avoid

Play it from the author's itch.io page, linked in our sources [1]. The page offers a browser version with no installation, and also lists PC builds for Windows and Linux or Steam Deck [1]. For a browser game, you do not need those files, so we do not link them.

Some points before you start:

• Prefer the author's page. At least one independent play page offers an embed and says it is not the developer's site and is not affiliated with the creators [3]. Copies on other game portals are not the author's, and we have not checked them.
• Treat "removed" claims with caution. Some third-party sites claimed the itch.io page was removed around 18 October; it was live on 21 October 2026, listed as updated two days earlier [1]. This can change quickly.
• Skip files you do not need. The author notes Windows may show a protection warning for the PC build [1]. If you do not need the PC version, play in the browser.
• AI-assisted. The page discloses AI assistance for code, graphics, sounds and text [1]. Whether that matters is your call.
