Joust - Student Classic Remake
"It feels like Joust, it plays like Joust, but it's a remake by students?! Wow"
- USC IMGD Professor and class playtesters
"Joust is an arcade game developed by Williams Electronics and released in 1982."
Firefox would be the best browser to play this game on!
About:
This Joust clone was remade by Timothi Lim and Sabrina Yam at USC (University of Southern California) for the classic games assignment during the CTIN483 course - Introduction to Unity.
This clone is meant to be educational and as a showcase of the ability of the student devs to recreate as closely as possible the classic video game. All rights belong to the current owners of the JOUST IP. For educational purposes only.
Developed in Unity Game Engine 5.6.0 in two weeks during March 2017.
How to play:
Player One
[ A ] - Move Left / [ D ] - Move Right / [ Space ] - Flap your wings to FLY! (You have to button mash it to gain height because duh, flying takes lots of energy ok?)
Player Two (Press "2" to join like it says on the screen)
[ J ] - Move Left / [ L ] - Move Right / [ P ] - Flap your wings to FLY! (Again, mash that P button to fly!)
General Commands
[ ESC ] - Resets the game and score
OH YOU CAN ALSO PLAY THIS WITH XBOX ONE CONTROLLERS (or other controllers I believe...) Just try it and tell me if it still works. I remember mapping the movements to controllers as an easter egg - Tim
