Reviews for "Motorjoust"
I had such high hopes for this! Amazing graphics, nice music , hilarious premise but it's just not fun. There should be some power ups or something for me to feel like i'm getting more bad ass. :(

the music are perrrfect and blah blah blah the same of all the people say in one comment
this is a convention of king arthur in motocross
I did enjoy this game very much. Having been used to Excitebike and having beaten a lot of the records (except for Stage 5), this came almost naturally to me. Only because this game used a real physics engine, I had to take the damage at the spikes like a champ.
I would like to suggest a Restart option -- because for stages 5 and beyond, it is possible to get stuck in a stage if you make a wrong turn, and then not be able to get out of it. I specifically had this in Stage 5 -- although I've beaten it, I decided to try it again, and sometimes we make mistakes. In this case, the mistake was irreversible and I was stuck.
The music is really good (good on ya, Frootza!) and so was the artwork. The VA reminded me of the few NES games that had voice clips (the only one I've ever played being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, mind you). The story was simple but quite a solid premise for a motorjousting tournament.
For something assembled in two weeks, this is one of the best games I've seen. It's not pretentious, it's rather realistic about what has been done within the span of two weeks, it has endearing and sometimes hilarious characters, it gives you a sense of achievement when you've beaten each level. If you had no time limit on this game and you had all the time in the world to iron out bugs, etc., or if you're considering making a version 2 of Motorjoust, seriously, go for it. I want to see this game's engine, storyline etc. in its full glory. Who knows? I certainly imagine that it'll have much better prospects -- a lot of avenues will be opened with this game.
4.5/5.

Thanks for playing it! I agree with most of what you said, and if we do make a sequel we'll make sure to do something about it! About the restart button though, pressing the ESC key allows you to exit back to the character select menu from where you can restart the level. so there's that. Anyway glad you liked it!

Was there any reason to go fast? When I think motorcross, I think fast speed, but going fast only makes the game difficult. The select screen is kinda, broken I guess, requiring two presses to select something. I didn't really like this game.
WingDemon responds:
well going fast is one of the criteria for winning a joust, if you went fast the whole time that would kinda ruin the point wouldn't it? :P
Also you're the first one to complain about a menu bug :/ is there anyway you could PM me the details of it? because as far as i know it only takes one click to select anything in the menu. maybe its just your mouse? well whatever it is we'll try to get it sorted out!
