POLERIDERS
created by Bennett Foddy
Two combatants meet in the middle of a field, poles in hand. The objective? To knock a ball suspended above their heads into the opponent’s castle. The actual pole vaulting itself is harder than it looks, and coupled with the game’s physics, makes for a game that is rewarding for skilled players, but also allows for some fun controlled chaos for novice players.
