Sportsfriends is a multiplayer video game created by the Danish independent developer collective Die Gute Fabrik, known for their previous title Where is my Heart?.[1] The game consists of four minigames: Johann Sebastian Joust (J.S. Joust), Super Pole Riders, BaraBariBall, and Hokra.[2] Planned for release on the PlayStation 3, Windows, Mac, and Linux, the game was funded through Kickstarter and received over $150,000 USD from backers.[2] Markus "Notch" Persson, creator of the independent game Minecraft, is noted as having contributed to the Sportsfriends Kickstarter fund.[3]
Johann Sebastian Joust does not have graphics or use a monitor.[2] Instead players try to hold a PlayStation Move controller still while others attempt to bump their controller.[2] Die Gute Fabrik entered the minigame into the 2012 Independent Games Festival competition.[4] PoleRide is a polevaulting game created by Bennet Froddy of QWOP fame. The game has a prototype version available as a web game.[a][5]
Johann Sebastian Joust
J.S. Joust is a local multiplayer no-graphics contact sport video game created by Douglas Wilson.[6][7] The objective of the game is to be the last man standing.[6] This is done by players trying to cause a rapid motion in their opponents controller: a PlayStation Move.[6] During the game, music from Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg concertos is played at a slow tempo.[6] In relation to a player being knocked out, there is a tolerance of motion the controller will allow that is linked to the speed of the music.[6] As the speed of the music increases, so does the motion tolerance, which allows players to move more rapidly without setting off their controller.[6]
