/!\ This game requires two players /!\

Welcome to the arena of the Wheat Joust !

When two knights claim a field, a new tradition came up : the Wheat Joust. The knight who harvests the most wheat in a limited time wins. But nothing stops you from slashing off the head of your opponent.

This game was made in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 52 game jam !

It's local multiplayer, but if you don't have a friend nearby, you can still use something like Parsec to play remotely.

Controls

Rules

The game starts with the two players on each side of the screen.

Your goal is to fill your bag with a maximum amount of wheat during the given time.

You can kill your opponent to steal some of their wheat.

While in the wheat, you are hidden. You make a dodge roll every time you get out of it. Use that to your advantage to ambush your opponent and slash him down !

You have 60 seconds. Good luck :D


Known bugs

- Some sounds don't play correctly

- Sprite order is not always accurate
