This game made my day. Thank you so much lol this is excellent. Please let me know if you expand this at all :) (rentabuddha@gmail.com)

The sound effects and weightiness of the controls really makes this game. As does the absurdity of the concept. Brilliant job all around

beardbotnik 2013-08-26 03:19

fantastic game. Wish it would turn around rather than have a restart button so I could get around to totally destroying the other guy. But it's still a short and satisfying game. Great concept and controls too!

komradus 2013-08-26 03:24

Those are some impressive models given the time constraints. Fun gameplay although it's a bit annoying that your opponent copies your dodge movements.

davidbittner 2013-08-26 04:17

Awesome game! Felt so great to play! Loved it!

tortche 2013-08-26 05:34

Gun Jousting. I need nothing more in life.

jah2488 2013-08-26 05:35

Hilarious. This was a lot of fun.

sebastian 2013-08-26 06:48

Crazy cool! Love the graphics and sound and the concept is just ridiculous :D

tomk32 2013-08-26 07:47

First lance stabbing game I've ever seen. Well, except the brilliant Knightwasher of course.
But, I expected something hilarious to happen when I saw the skeletons but no. It's too much missing, I hope you can focus better in the next LD.

pestodesign 2013-08-26 09:02

Hahaha, very good, man! I love the robot-knights and the soundeffects the best!

vic 2013-08-26 10:44

Thank you for all the great comments, you guys really make my day :). At first I was doubting if I should submit it, since it isn't done, but now I am glad I did!

daanvanyperen 2013-08-26 11:01

Bit hard to control. Where does the theme come in though? A cannon on a lance, how can you beat that!

daanvanyperen 2013-08-26 11:02

If you make a post competition version, add a scope on the lances. ;)

wallmasterr 2013-08-26 12:08

fun , wish it had a score or rounds or something though

pikkufighter 2013-08-26 12:18

it is fun but you should make the enemy not copying you

just-tom 2013-08-26 13:11

This game man, first I was surprised how pretty it was and then I just kacked myself laughing. I love this game, it is a special moment. The caffeine induced eccentricity shines through beautifully, absolute giggle to play.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-26 14:12

Nice!

hypnohustla 2013-08-26 14:25

Love the atmosphere and the characters. A bit hard but fun game :)

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:38

Hahahaha FUN!

thehobbit9797 2013-08-26 14:41

Please expand it a bit and make it a full game :D

2013-08-26 14:47

Super fun! It would be cool if a game restarted automatically, but I enjoyed playing very much!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-26 15:10

I enjoyed it :)

intripoon 2013-08-26 15:37

Is there a way to lock the mouse to the screen? I always keep moving it out of the rectangle and focusing something else by clicking.
Apart from that, I noticed that my opponent does exactly the same thing as I do. Is this intended? That way, either both fall down or both stay on the horse.

dudsen 2013-08-26 16:53

Crazy stuff. Fell in love with it. Amazing work, especially in the short amount of time this was created. Well played, sir.

schulles 2013-08-26 17:18

I liked the graphics, but why would there be knights between palmtrees and some weird black things? The audio was fine and it was quite funny but this would need more than just one repeating level and nothing more to it to get more than 3 stars. Anyways, nice job, I enjoyed it!

benswinden 2013-08-26 18:09

Awesome! Looks really cool. The horses are rad. Was fun to play around with for a few minutes

cschwartz 2013-08-26 18:09

Great design and graphics. A win or lose state would have been nice.

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 18:36

Very nice! I find this very innovative because I haven't seen a jousting entry here. It was a really fun game, although I would improve the enemy as he copy's what you do which is not what you would expect, also make a mouse unlocker and locker because the mouse is really annoying. I like the implementation of the theme, as 10 second jousts. The graphics were outstanding for 48 hours, the audio was good and I had a laugh while playing the game, and the mood is very nice. Good job!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-26 19:26

Looks reallly nice. Its a really great consept and I love how we play as skeletons, it would be nice if the game auto restarted after a few seconds or if the mouse curser vanished when in the screen, it does go a bit wonky if you lose, you just see weird bits of glitched out skeletons everywhere. Very good overall however

ivo 2013-08-26 19:36

Nothing relaxes me more than a good ol round of gun jousting! Too bad theres no win/lose or turning around.

bloodyaugust 2013-08-26 20:36

Fun game, but this should probably be a Jam entry due to the nature of the sound assets. Mouse lock would also help the immersion of the experience quite a bit, it would seem. Nice job!

markengley 2013-08-26 20:39

Really nice entry - great art especially

flod 2013-08-26 21:14

nice Idea! but shooting?

velospectre 2013-08-26 21:34

Amusing idea and well done.

ghostik 2013-08-26 21:47

Nice concept man! I love it!

idiotcoder 2013-08-26 22:04

Seriously impressive graphics given the time constraints! I agree that an auto-turnaround would have been a plus, but we all know some things have to be left out.

larzan 2013-08-26 22:33

Nice grafix, you have some really nice models and effects there. Just not that much of a game, still nice though!
Just a bit more polishing and this could become addicting :)

psychomonster 2013-08-26 22:51

cooool style. controlls are very sensitive but its fun to learn it. Nice job... really cool game

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-26 23:04

Hello! I am making a sort of compilation of all the games I can. Your game is featured in this video! http://youtu.be/jImRVKjejj4

bugninja 2013-08-26 23:20

This is excellent. Very creative approach, and impressive for 48 hours, that's for sure.

cakemonitor 2013-08-27 07:04

Great stuff :)

ratking 2013-08-27 09:40

Even though it's not finished, it's already a great entry because of the idea! :-)

tacospice 2013-08-27 09:44

Pretty cool. Mouse movement is a little too fast, and you should hide the cursor while ingame!

zkenshin 2013-08-27 15:49

Really liked the art, well done. :)

psema4 2013-08-27 21:29

Creative and fun - great game! =D

zillix 2013-08-28 06:42

I didn't know it until now, but this is what I've always wanted. thank you.

nicotuason 2013-08-28 10:50

GUNJOUST! How could it not be awesome? I hope you keep working on it!

sengi 2013-08-28 16:44

This is an incredible action! I'm shocked, I do not know what happened to me ..! Now I can not sleep .. Sounds - good!

rylgh 2013-08-28 20:10

Such a badass concept... works really well too. Mouse lock would be nice.

nddrylliog 2013-08-28 21:56

Excellent all around. Would love to see this made into a full game :D

udo 2013-08-28 21:56

Okay, Gun Jousting should from now on be considered A Thing! It was a lot of fun to play, though a little bit more consideration could have gone into the game's structure (like, what happens after the joust round). Making your own music and sounds would also have been awesome. All in all it's a pretty fun concept!

ld_lan_party 2013-08-28 23:59

Neat idea.

vic 2013-08-29 10:50

I am thinking of making this into a full game, any ideas on what you would like to see in such a game?

xgor 2013-08-29 12:09

It's a cool idea, the ai was pretty annoying with it's copying of your won moves though and it usually ended up that both got destroyed.

nickw 2013-08-29 13:27

Oh man this is really cool! Only complaint is that I have no idea if I won (I'm guessing I did since I didn't fall off the horse?) since it just hangs after you joust haha. The gun firing felt really awesome and the sound was nice, I really hope you guys develop this further and make it a multiplayer game that'd be sweet!

garethiw 2013-08-29 15:22

Great idea, love the way the bodies blow apart! I, too, was left wondering if I won (when it wasn't obvious)!

p4nurge 2013-08-29 18:56

Awesome! Now I really want a full game involving robot knights. As for things I'd like to see in it - enhanced jousting including foot combat; quests to undertake against post-apocalyptic equivalents of giants, dragons and sorcerors; customisable shields, weaponry and steeds. Oh there is so much you could do with this!

For this version, I'd just echo the suggestion of allowing the player to turn around when the match is drawn, rather than having to restart.

Altogether, an excellent entry, pretty much faultless in all areas.

christinaneofotistou 2013-08-29 23:36

Since you ask, I'd like to see a skill tree, for the full game. Awesome graphics!!

recursor 2013-08-30 00:27

Nice graphics and presentation. Also, who doesn't like jousting on horses ... with guns. The only thing that let me down was when you beat the other guy and your horse just stops at the end. I wanted my guy to turn around and see the carnage, hear shouts from the crowd, fireworks going off or something. Even so, I enjoyed it.

orni 2013-08-31 14:25

I really enjoyed this :)
nice game

ooya 2013-09-07 13:41

I find this game very fun ! I played some time, and it's very addictive. The only problem is the mouse sensivity which is very high. One of the best game of this LD27 ! ;)

danhett 2013-09-07 19:00

I think this game would work even better as a LAN or online game - it needs that human enemy factor. Really good fun though, and great visuals. Maybe add a galloping horse noise?

fferro234 2013-09-16 04:18

I love the idea. I'm not sure if I really see the theme though. Cool concept and some nice animations and effects for a 48 hour game.

nezzhil 2013-09-16 18:29

Cool idea. The controls are fine and the graphics are superb.

hardgrafter 2013-09-16 20:05

really cool! loved the idea, definitely would be good if it automatically restarted!

invisiblewonder 2013-09-16 20:23

Ha! I only wish it would auto-queue for best of three.
