Message
Welcome to our tenth Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge!!! For this challenge we're taking on Jetboard Joust!
Jetboard Joust is a fast-paced arcade action game by indie developer BitBull. The game is a clear homage to Eugene Jarvis' excellent Defender. Jetboard Joust takes the foundational elements of Jarvis’ classic and adds branching pathways, an intriguing upgrade system and fun joust mechanic to create an excellent modern arcade game!
Important note: Because of the unique way that Jetboard Joust handles continues, continues are allowed. You may choose to play until you are out of continues. You may also restart with teleports unlocked from a previous playthrough.
