About
An intense, arcade-style, shooter in which you must master a vast array of ridiculous weaponry in order to defeat a race of evil aliens who are intent on abducting innocent civilians and turning them into mutants. Jetboard Joust blends the spirit and intensity of 1980s arcade coin-op SMHUPs with the replayability and tactical elements of hardcore modern roguelikes. Don't expect a story. Do expect frantic, fluid, fast-paced 60fps action, big guns, and explosions!
The Jetboard: Leap from your jetboard like a boss to gain temporary invincibility and smash your enemies to smithereens. Destroy pretty much everything in your path. You rock.
The Enemies: Over fifty different enemies to outwit. Be prepared for them to come at you with all the game's weapons plus their own special attacks. Watch out for a few tributes to classic arcade games of the past too...
The Weapons: From the conventional to the ridiculous! Jetboard Joust offers over thirty powerful weapons, each with its own distinct advantages and upgrade path, to aid you on your mission and leave a path of total destruction in your wake. Get up close and dish out massive damage with the shotgun, wreak havoc with the cluster bomb, fry enemies to a crisp with the flame tornado or shock them into submission with the lightning bolt. You'll get a different selection of weapons with each playthrough and you'll need to master them all!
The Bosses: Defeat huge bosses in a series of grueling multi-stage battles and then steal their attacks for your own use. Rendered in exquisite pixel-art detail, these guys will test your weapon-handling and evasive maneuvering to their limits.
The Planets: Choose your own path through a multitude of battlegrounds across the surface of five different planets. Discover hidden treasure, upgrades and awesome new weapons. Adapt your route based on your playstyle, the weapons you unlock and the treasure you discover. Plunder cash from fallen enemies and use it to pimp up your jetboard, jetsuit and max out your weapons for a formidable arsenal. Are you up to the challenge?

joguin é bom
If you like the arcade classic *Defender*, then you'll probably like this. It can be a bit repetitive, but the constant allure of upgrades is keeping me engaged enough to keep playing. For some reason, it seems that few players have beaten the second worlds, since beating the boss is a golden achievement. Maybe they're just getting bored, or maybe it's too hard. Either way, I beat the boss, and I'm still playing, sooooo...

Прикольная игра, но русского языка нет. Управление сложновато. Я бы немного по другому сделал. Ну а так сочно. Основная геймплейная ошибка по моему мнению в том, что в игре нельзя пятится назад и отстреливаться от противников. А тот режим, что есть, он фрустрирует на том, что мне надо разогнаться, развернуться, потерять скорость, выстрелить, а потом снова уходить от противника и опять набирать скорость.
Fun game to just pick up and play. Its a must grab for quick fun if it's on sale. I'm a casual gamer and this was casual enough with some twists and turns that a more serious gamer could appreciate.
Un altro bel (vedi bellissimo) re-make. Appena più azzardato di altri. Del "DEFENDER". Video-gioco geniale targato Midway (primi anni '80). Spopolante e imperante nelle sale giochi e nei bar più all'avanguardia. Quando una partita costava solo 100 lire (5 centesimi di €). Ma che, per giocarlo, oltre al pezzo della zecca, necessitavano riflessi e intelligenza sovrumani. Il gioco era talmente difficile che tanti, al primo tentativo, abbandonavano l'idea...
Defender 2 нового поколения
セールで120円なら結構爽快だしかなり面白い 面白いんだけど…ゲームデザインがディフェンダーに似てて、40年は昔のゲームデザインをちょっと派手にしても 結局4面くらいで飽きがくるわけですよ。 操作にクセがあるけどそこで楽しめるようなゲームでもないし、そこはややストレスかも。
Крутой рогалик
ehh ... looks more fun than it is maybe i'm just bad though idk definitely wouldn't pay full price
