#Jetboard Joust

[thejaymo]

Video games have evolved into online services in the 21st century. These services reflect a scheme of the larger tech industry, where we’re supposed to think of tech as a permanent, indispensable extension of our bodies and personalities. The pernicious business model behind online games attempts to remove the potential for artistic failure or critical interpretation. That is, if a part of an online service offends some people, or if some aspect is half-baked or unfinished, the developers can release a patch.

Snag 20 indie games worth over $300 for just $10 right now

What if a Fanatical Steam sale offered you 20 indies so cheaply you'd just had to take a look? Indie games provide some of the best videogame experiences available, frequently at a significantly lower price than triple-A titles. With this amazing independent game deal, we have exactly that for you. You can choose between any of 20 games for the Fanatical bundle, which will be added to your Steam library if you want even more great deals with the Steam Summer Sale still ongoing. One game will cost $1, five will cost $3, and ten will set you back just $5. The focus is on indies, so give each of the 20 a look and you might just find your new favorite game, who knows? The deal coincides with July 4, but it’s unclear how long it will last. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J0MWEECYOY Fanatical $5 indie games bundle With 20 games available there’s a fair amount to pick from, so we’ve listed every choice from the sale below. - What Lies in the Multiverse - Redout Enhanced Edition - Redout Space Assault - Styx Shards of Darkness - Styx Master of Shadows - Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 - Rebel Galaxy Outlaw - Don’t Be Afraid - Samudra - Jetboard Joust - Battle Royale Tycoon - Super Night Riders - GemCraft Frostborn Wrath - The Pit Osmium Edition - Hyper Knights - 80’s Overdrive - Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! - Cook, Serve, Delicious double pack - Rebel Galaxy - In Between While most of these games are in the Steam sale on their own, this Fanatical bundle is the best way to grab a handful of them at a massive discount.

Screenshot Saturday Featuring Pink River, Militsioner, More

The Screenshot Saturday spam level gets too high, I worry about it publicly, but then it decreases, only for the spammers to rise again later. So yeah, good news for all of the games shown off this weekend, but I’m still going by “anything goes” for now, and still pondering the possibility of alternate directions. But hey, again, there was still a lot of good stuff to work with, so let’s get to it! 

Check them out!

REVIEW | "Jetboard Joust" | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade

Even over forty years later, the likes of Galaga, Space Invaders, and Defender still find a way to excite. Yes, the graphics may not be as spiffy as a PS5 or high-end PC game, but when a game is fun and tough-as-nails, who cares how it looks?! Perhaps it’s this mentality that led BitBull Ltd and Freedom Games to bring Jetboard Joust to life. And despite its visual aesthetics, this game offers wall-to-wall insanity!

In Jetboard Joust, players take control of a hoverboard-flying hero in outer space. Five planets are under attack by some invading scum, and it’s up to you to defeat them all. As you roam each planet, you’ll come across enemies that attack, spin, abduct, and do anything it takes to make your job to protect tougher. Fortunately, you have quite the arsenal packing to waste any foe that stands in your way.

What makes this game a thrill is that it immediately shoves you right into chaos! Just as you arrive on the first planet, everything that flies around you wants to kill you. On top of that, any citizen on the planet’s surface is also a target, with enemies grabbing innocent people and trying to bring them back to their lair. Thankfully, your pistol has unlimited ammo, meaning being out of bullets mid-flight won’t happen.

Jetboard Joust is a bullet-hell experience through-and-through. When enemies are around, you’ll find yourself constantly shooting your weapon while they return the favor. Players can also grab some powerful secondary weapons, ranging from Gatling Guns and shotguns to gamma rays and plasma rifles. While you have a limited amount of ammo for those, it’s somewhat easy to find more bullets lying around when the time calls for it. However, you’re unfortunately only allowed two weapons at once, so one may be forced to switch secondaries frequently via a weapon holder on each level.

Jetboard Joust classic style arcade shoot-'em-up out on Linux

Jetboard Joust arcade style SHMUP goes native via Linux gaming with Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to developer BitBull Ltd. That if you already own the game via Steam or Humble Store. Jetboard Joust is a joyous fusion of classic arcade shoot-'em-ups and modern roguelikes. Reaching out to developer BitBull Ltd back in early October 2020. There were details shared about the Atari VCS. Then a couple more emails were exchanged and now the most recent, the official reveal for support in Linux gaming.

Thought I’d get in touch to tell you that Jetboard Joust finally releases for Linux on Steam on the 18th May.

If for some reason the Linux build does not install. Use the public beta branch on Steam as a backup. I've been playing the Linux build there since last Friday. BitBull confirms, "it runs fine on the new Atari VCS which is Linux based." Which also translates well into Linux gaming. Defend the skies from alien raiders in the sequel to 1989’s Skateboard Joust. Originally available for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC microcomputers. Take flight on a souped-up jetboard, darting through the skies and blasting invaders. Jetboard Joust also offers an explosive arsenal of weapons. So you can stop alien foes from taking helpless civilians. Overcome challenging trials to access powerful upgrades before charting a course through a procedural, branching campaign.

Jetboard Joust - Launch Trailer

Jetboard Joust is tricky, as you balance while keeping altitude. Then dodge incoming fire and pursuing intergalactic threats through action packed dogfights. All taking inspiration from old school arcade classics. Jetboard Joust will have you harness the power of the jetboard. Simply while using it as a ballistic missile. So you can launch the deck into hostile squadrons to destroy the enemy armada. Then wipe out everything caught in the crossfire. Reap rewards from victories, collecting coins throughout the level. Which you can use to purchase new guns, level up armor, and modify the jetboard. Then upgrade your hero until he evolves into a brute force. Scour environments for temples filled with untold spoils. Since these let you power up before returning to the fight. Surprises and unrelenting foes await. These include massive, multi stage boss guardians and superpowered mutants created from abductees. Jetboard Joust arcade style SHMUP is now available in Linux gaming, Mac, and Windows PC. The game is currently priced at $9.99 USD on Steam or Humble Store. It supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese language options. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) localizations are currently in progress as well.
