Duel Jousting

Sorry for making a new comment, but I couldn't reply to your reply for some reason. I'll give it another try with the enemy being the hitbox in mind. Take note, this is me speaking on this before trying out with the new idea of a hitbox. I've played the crap out of the original (even own the arcade cabinet for Joust and Joust 2) so I'm hoping to offer some thoughts and constructive criticisms.

I would definitely up the stamina, and maybe even think about eliminating that as a statistic. The original Joust had dead on controls from the first time you pushed the flap button. If it had a system where the physics (especially talking stamina) changed as you played, I don't think it would be as strong of a game as it ended up being. Balloon Fight (an NES Joust clone) was pretty popular and it was the same way, your flight physics were set from the first flap. Another CC is that I don't think the game would necessarily gain any "fun" from having stamina as a stat. If a stat isn't fun, I feel it might be better being pruned away to focus more on stats that are.

Also, not sure if this is a small bug or meant to be, but once I die twice, the night no longer shows up on my character, it's just the dragon. How can I tell where my lance will land if it's not on screen? Maybe I'm missing something such as a way to pick up your night again.

I'll fire the game up again and check into it. I do want to say, thanks for making this, this genre needs a reboot. It's a great genre for today for so many reasons. Love it or hate it, even the massively popular Flappy Bird owes a debt to the original Joust.

I'm a huge joust fan. I bought your game. I have bad news, the controls are not right at all. Half the time the "flap"/jump button doesn't work. I suggest getting the physics down before adding any content to the game. If the physics are not spot on, no amount of content will ever make the game good. Physics are make or break for a game like this.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving what's there so far, just it's basically unplayable at this point.

When I first start, the jump/flap button works as it should. After touching the ground at the bottom, or jousting another night if he dies or if I die, the jump/flap button no longer lets you fly. It will jump once, then not again. It's like jump goes from being able to be pressed repeatedly to fly, to a jump once and fall back to the ground button.

The other issue is the hitbox. It isn't like joust at all. What am I even aiming at? Sometimes I can hit the dragons, but most time I pass through them.

Since this is basically an homage to joust, please play the original joust and see how the hitboxes work with it. If you are one pixel higher than your enemy, the enemy dies. If you drop on the enemy, it dies. The way this is now, there is no way to tell if you will die, or the enemy. Sometimes I can attack them from the back and that will generally kill them, head on (or dropping onto them from a height) does nothing but pass through them.

If you can get the physics and hitboxes working this will be damn good.

This looks interesting. You're using the package system incorrectly tho.
Instead of making a package for each build, you should just have 2 packages. 1 is the full game where each release has builds for all OSes and one for the demo, again - with builds for each OS.
