Lancerbird is a free, Joust-inspired game where you flap around on giant birds and try to dismount enemies (and/or one another).
I started it as a Christmas present for a Joust-fan in my life and I've slowly been improving it since.
It's not really meant to be a faithful recreation; Quite a few changes have been made based on what I think is fun.
...Plus the whole thing is 1920x1080, so it's an incredibly inauthentic 8-bit arcade experience.
But if you're a fan of the original this may scratch an itch for you. It's also proven to be a pretty fun party game!
Anyway, watch the video, you'll probably know whether you'll like it or not.
Quickie features: =====================================
• 1 or 2 players
• Keyboard or Gamepad controls
• Saved local high scores
• The Classic Joust level, plus 3 custom levels.
• Choose your mount and rider sprites. (if you ever wanted to ride a Buzzard, this is game has your back.)
• Player vs. Player Deathmatch.
• Ironlance mode (1 life, no extends. For the ultimate purist and/or sadist)
• Keepaway mode (all collisions kill you, RUN!!! Scored based on survival time.)
===================================================
Witness the hottest Lancerbird gameplay vid an unregistered Bandicam can handle:
Download link is here, game is free, please enjoy!
=================================
www.gravedust.com/Lancerbird.zip [Windows] [~7Mb] [No installation]
================================
This game is technically complete, but there is more I'd like to do if I can justify spending the time. So from here on out, effect, future development is 100% enthusiasm powered. So, If you like it, let me know and I'll keep working on it
...Also please let me know if you encounter any crashes or other errors. I'll fix 'em.
All other feedback welcome as well.
