What Party Jousting is
Party Jousting is a one-button party game built for groups. Everything runs off a single input, so there is no control scheme to learn before the first round starts. The game uses 2D pixel graphics and sits in the casual, sports and party category, which means rounds are short and easy to jump into. It supports between 2 and 16 players at once, so it works for a small pair or a full room of people.
How a group plays together
Everyone plays on the same screen, sharing a keyboard or a controller between them. With up to 16 players in a single match, the screen fills up quickly and the shared input keeps the pace fast. Because the whole game hangs on one button, the difference between players comes down to timing rather than memorizing inputs. If your group is spread out, Remote Play Together lets people join in over a connection instead of sitting at the same machine.
Before you start
You will need enough input devices for the people playing: a keyboard or controllers, split however your group wants to arrange it. Plan for a screen big enough to read the action with a crowd, since the match is meant to be watched and played by everyone at once. Expect short rounds that anyone can pick up immediately, including people who do not play games often.
