Lancer

The player controls a knight with lance atop a large bird. Gameplay allows for 1-player or 2-player cooperative. The player can move rapidly left and right, but can also flap their bird's wings to raise up in the air. Enemy mounted knights appear, and the player must destroy them by hitting them from above or behind, otherwise they lose a life. When hit, knights turn into eggs, which land on the platforms. These must be picked up before they hatch into a new knight, which they be picked up by a mount to ride again. There are 15 levels of difficulty, and the player starts with 5 lives. As stages increase, new challenges like disappearing platforms or invincible dragons appear.
