About the Game

Joust Your Friends

Jousting Around is an online multiplayer jousting game with a focus on fun, physics-based interactions. Jump into a medieval world as a practice dummy to fulfill your deepest fantasies of dismembering your enemies limb by limb on horseback. Might you have the skill required to dismount your challengers, you may just win The Goblin King's favor and the love of his subjects.

Mounted on horseback, players are sent galloping towards each-other. Each arm is controlled individually, and knights must be cautious to balance the placement of their lance and shield. When players collide, scores are tallied based on limb dismemberment and placement accuracy.

Rogue-Like Synergies

No matter what, players will be met with a challenge. Loser is given a choice between 3 modifiers. Choose to pimp out your ride or debuff your opponent. Should you send them flying with a rocket joust or buy them a dizzy lager potion? Even the best players will be on their toes.

Online Multiplayer

Create a private room for you and your close buddy, or join a random room so you can yell at a stranger as you insert a lance into their throbbing heart. Not enough for you? Of course not. Engage in tournament mode and compete against several players to be the very best blood-thirsty knight.

Achievements

You think you're good enough? Jousting Around doesn't. Not at least until you unlock all of the achievements. You will be allowed through the gates of Joust heaven only once you have dismembered enough heads and created the greatest synergies. Your plight will be amazing.
