A Classical Ass-Kicking: Johann Sebastian Joust

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 – running time 04:21

While quarantined during an evil bought of sickness, I thought I'd switch things up a bit with this review of this super revolutionary sparring game, Johann Sebastian Joust. Did I mention the plugin is open source?

According to the Danish Developers: "Johann Sebastian Joust is a no-graphics, digitally-enabled folk game for 2 to 7 players, designed for motion controllers, such as the PlayStation Move. The goal is to be the last player remaining. When the music plays (selections from J.S. Bach's "Brandenburg Concertos") in slow-motion, the controllers are extremely sensitive to movement. When the music speeds up, this threshold becomes less strict, giving the players a small window to dash at their opponents. If your controller is ever moved beyond the allowable threshold, you're out! Channel the power of J.S. Bach, and try to jostle your opponents' controllers while protecting your own."
