Use of the limitation
We made a game that can be played in 1 player or 2 player mode. Each player uses one hand to control their character. We felt that we incorporated the theme not only by the amount of hands that could physically control your player, but also because we made our game have a "puppet" theme, which goes along with using one hand to control your character.

Thanks so much for playing it! Yes that's right - if you are faster than your opponent at the arrowkey game, you'll have the chance to hit them with the lance (and thus score a point). It was a fun theme to build off of. I feel like jousting has a lot of opportunity for fun minigames.

I'm a true knight of the kingdom! I liked the setting, the music fit well to the theme. I didn't have anyone to play with, but I really like that you added a multiplayer version :D 

Developer

This is a great idea, I'm not sure I've played anything quite like this and I really liked the puppet theatre art direction, that was particularly inspired. Nicely done.

Developer

Thank you so much!
