A prose interpretation of the arcade game, with a colorful setting added. Nicely done. Although very small, it actually invites a certain amount of tactical thought.

An amusing reworking of the classic arcade game Joust, September 15, 2017

This game was part of the IF arcade pack, most of whose games were sci-fi related. Just like the way the original game was unusual for taking a fantasy-based viewpoint, this game is unusual in the IF arcade pack for the same reason.

Wizards, trolls, pterodactyls; though this game is short, the setting is fun and inventive.
