Joust (Team Pixelboy)

The player controls a knight equipped with a spear and mounted on an ostrich (or stork) and the goal of the game is to eliminate all enemies from the board before moving on to the next "wave". The joystick allows you to orient the mount while repeated presses of the button make it flap its wings and gain altitude. When in contact with an enemy, the knight who is highest up wins the match. The playing area is represented in profile and is fully displayed on the screen: when a protagonist leaves the frame, he reappears on the opposite side. The set features a few suspended platforms, on which the mount can land, and which play a tactical role during combat. The base of the painting is gradually submerged by a deadly lava lake. As the levels progress, the waves of enemies become more intense and the number of platforms decreases.
